How it feels

A short, experiential point-and-click where you casually toss away symbolic objects in a darkly comic, minimalist world.

What players say

Players say Mouse People is a short, wordless interactive story about a mouse-person navigating life as an office worker, told through 20 hand-drawn scenes. The dragging-based physics can feel sluggish and finicky, and a few levels are unclear or glitchy. Some find its abstract, minimalist style soothing, while others find it frustrating and less satisfying than the prequel Bubble People.
