01:18It didn't seem like much at first. Wasn't even sure it was a case.
01:22So, Tammy Tumbler is an intelligent and resourceful young mouse who works as a skilled mechanic and a tinkerer.
01:29This spikedy crap breaks like it's on a schedule.
01:32She makes her money by operating a workshop called Tammy's Barrens in the heart of Mouseburg.
01:38And this is where she gets to upgrade all of Jack's weapons.
01:42John Brown is a life-worn shrew and a titan of hard work.
01:47He hails from Shrew Thicket, and after leaving the town when it was destroyed, he picked up odd jobs as
01:53a cheese legger, farmhand, before finally he settled down to open Little and Big.
01:59That was a shrew-sized bar in the heart of Mouseburg.
02:03Enough cheese for today.
02:04Cornelius Stilton is a jovial, upper-middle class, former war commander.
02:09He's intelligent, he's calculating.
02:12Everything he does is very deliberate, so naturally he went into politics.
02:16Well, that's another issue I wanted to talk to you about.
02:19He's a crucial ally to Jack and provides essential information throughout the game, so try to listen to the guy.
02:26So, Wanda Fuller is a mouse and a seasoned journalist, and she teams up with Jack Pepper throughout the game
02:32to work on its cases.
02:34Jack! Over here!
02:36She ultimately, I think, wants to help people, but this tough cynicism that she has going on is her way
02:42of navigating a world ruled by men.
02:45Mice men.
02:47Tell me you got something juicy, Jack.
02:49Otherwise, don't waste my ink.
02:51What is the inspiration for the voice of your character?
02:57The girl never tells.
02:58This is the fun of making games, is we all get to decide, as a team, what does this guy
03:04sound like?
03:05As we kind of got into talking about the character, talking about the story, we decide as a team that
03:11maybe he could be a little bit more down here.
03:13Maybe he could be that kind of grizzled guy that sounded like he ate too many cheese sticks.
03:18You know what I mean?
03:19So, my inspiration for Wanda was partly deadpan sarcasm, Mella, Aubrey Plaza meets April from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles meets
03:30Newsies.
03:31Hold your whiskers, Jack.
03:32So, for Timmy Tumblr, when I first saw her, I immediately thought of Tony to Pony from An American Tale.
03:39Damn, gotta whip up a new retro kablamma.
03:42So, I kind of took that voice, making it a little tomboyish, used my own vocal structure, and I felt
03:50like I just knew her.
03:52It's about gun tuning, dummy.
03:54I'd thought of, like, maybe a mall from New York kind of thing, you know, a little, like, the mayor,
04:00or a World War I sort of veteran of the war, sipping his tea in the middle of the desert.
04:08You know, there's a little bit of that in there.
04:10A timid version of Frasier Crane at some point.
04:13Like, he's just sort of, like, putting on airs at times when, you know, like, he could still drink in
04:19a bar in Boston if he wants to.
04:20Ha ha ha! See, that's what I like about you, Jack. You always know when to make your move.
04:28Favorite line or dialogue? You know, I really don't want to give anything away because the story is so great.
04:34So, I'll just say my favorite is when Tammy says,
04:38Hiya, Jack!
04:40I can't answer that.
04:42I mean, I can tell you my second favorite, but it's that first right out of the gate, that whole
04:46interaction.
04:47Jack! Good to see you, buddy.
04:50Probably has to be, I got a recipe called perfect bog fondue. It'll make your whiskers curl.
04:57Of course, the multiple puns about cheese, which I've never heard so many cheese cons in my entire life.
05:05I can give you more than a crumb, Jack.
05:07I will say what comes to mind of my favorite, one of my favorite moments of working on this.
05:12Jack is prone to being a bit of a narrator.
05:16And in one of these mini scenes where he is kind of narrating what he's doing, I thought it would
05:22be funny if maybe he was doing that live.
05:25And so we all decided as a team that we would have this narration be in real time.
05:33And so if he walks in, you know, and says, from the moment I saw that dame, I knew I
05:40was in trouble.
05:45Everybody can hear him.
05:47And it's like, who are you talking to?
05:53I am so excited to be a part of this game.
05:56It is so fun and it is so, so cool and nostalgic.
06:00And I'm thrilled for you all to be able to experience it.
06:03I seriously cannot wait for you guys to see what these wizards cooked up.
06:06I cannot wait for you to play Mouse P.I. for Hire when it drops like an anvil on your
06:10head April 16th.
06:12For PC, PS5, Nintendo Switch 2, and Xbox Series X and S.
06:17So wishlist it.
06:20Might be worth a look.
06:21I don't know.
06:23All right, that's the shmeal.
06:24Get out of here.
06:25I got a case to crack.
06:29Ow.
