The Spirit and the Mouse

This is one of the most emotionally-rewarding games I can remember playing. I absolutely love the concept of a protagonist who does good for no other reason than a desire to help others - no coins, no stars, no equipment upgrades, no badges, no awards. Just the pure intrinsic joy of solving a puzzle and completing a task. I was not expecting to be so moved at the end of the game, but looking back I think it is because as the game progressed I more and more wanted to continue for no reason other than to help the characters I had met along the way. Anyway, that's what matters about the game. From a more technical viewpoint, it's a clean, efficient puzzle-platformer that challenges you to make every use of the few powers you have find all the hidden secrets of the map. Graphics are simple by lovingly-made and fit the personality of the world, and the French jazz-inspired soundtrack is perfect. I particularly appreciate how the camera reinforces the mouses-eye-view of the world, challen...

Cute and accessible. What the game lacks in depth it makes up for in charm, with a handful of lovingly decorated locations and dozens of characters to meet. There is one collectible type with a very fair hinting system, and all achievements can be earned in a single playthrough. There is little for replayability with the amount of backtracking you need to do during normal gameplay, but for the price and game length (about 5-6 hours) this is a great pick for a stormy summer night.

10/10 loved it. i shed a tear at the end.

Super cute, super cozy! Can't wait for a sequel

My only 'complaint' is wanting more. 6 hours to get all achievements but I had a very good time. Hope we get a second game someday.

This game is a delightful treat, sappy and fun. I'd recommend this one for kids personally there's not too much challenge and the game is short as you can see by my playtime. Utterly cozy in a sleepy village in France. Little bit chibi-robo but the tasks are short and easy and never monotonous.

Very chill and enjoyable game. Beautiful graphics and story, plus a mixture of puzzles.

this is one of the most cozy relaxing games i have ever played. i loved it. 100% in just over 4 hours, but that doesn't matter. This is a wonderful game. i wish there was more. the characters all had soo much personality and the mini games were very fun. thank you for making this master piece.

This game is adorable and the ending genuinely made me tear up a little! I love puzzle games and the adorable little mouse and beautiful art style made it even more fun to play. This game was so addictive to me. (I played until it was about 4 in the morning once cus I couldn't put the game down oops-) Usually I'm not super great at platformers, but this one had clear enough mechanics and instructions for me to find it both challenging enough and still fun for me! Oh, and can I just say that I LOVE that at some point in the game there are items/powers you can get to help locate the lightbulbs you can collect? If there's one thing I hate it's trying to find the collectibles I missed in a game. So I thank the developers from the bottom of my heart for adding those items/powers to the game. It helped me find some of the last sneakily hidden lightbulbs that I could not for the life of me find lol. Overall, I definitly recommend you play this game on a rainy summer evening! (And use t...
