Our priority has always been to put players first, and we have worked incredibly hard to continue to achieve that goal, both throughout the game’s development and also post-launch. With our recent major update introducing Level Revisit, release of physical editions, and also upcoming Story DLC, we hope that players are excited about all things MOUSE: P.I. For Hire.
