Back in June 2024 Japanese indie developer Odencat Inc. announced that their latest adventure game Mousebusters would see Switch release. The original plan was to have the game out that same year, but that obviously didn\u2019t happen. Thankfully the wait is over, as Mousebusters is launching for Switch today. Mousebusters follows a protagonist who gets mysteriously transformed into a mouse and must now rid a haunted apartment building of ghosts to break the curse.<\/p>\n
The day after moving into your new living space, you wake up to find that you\u2019ve been inexplicably transformed into a mouse. Luckily, you soon meet a hard-boiled rodent with a crass but loveable manner of speaking who asks you to call him \u201cChief.\u201d He claims he can help you turn back into a human\u2026if you\u2019re willing to undertake a few missions for him in return. Together, you\u2019ll form the titular team, and embark on expeditions to bust the ghosts that haunt each unit and break the curse on the apartment building.<\/p>\n
The apartment is home to a variety of residents, each with their own unique background and personality quirks. The ghosts seem to prey upon the tenants\u2019 negative emotions and insecurities, and won\u2019t reveal themselves immediately, so good observation skills and quick thinking will be the key to exorcising them. You\u2019ll have to scour each room while avoiding detection to solve environmental puzzles and manipulate the tenants in just the right way to draw out the ghosts!<\/p>\n
But don\u2019t think these phantoms will go down without a fight! You\u2019ll have to use your trusty ghost zapper to protect yourself from projectiles and hit their weak points in tense showdowns in order to bust them for good. You can also train your sharpshooting skills through a virtual simulator on an in-game terminal, and even earn some sweet loot if you manage to rack up enough points!<\/p>\n
With a little persistence, you might be able to vanquish the ghosts, but your job doesn\u2019t end there! You\u2019ll also have to dive headfirst into a full-blown conspiracy surrounding the apartment building and uncover the Chief\u2019s secret past to purge the darkness once and for all\u2026 Can you reach the end of this rabbit hole, or will you succumb to the ghastly ghouls lurking below the floorboards?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Back in June 2024 Japanese indie developer Odencat Inc. announced that their latest adventure game Mousebusters would see…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":761833,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[49,48,61],"class_list":["post-761832","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/761832","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=761832"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/761832\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/761833"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=761832"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=761832"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=761832"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
