That's OK. Typical play time for this one is just 15-25 minutes. How long will it take you to solve? Click that "Run game" button above to find out!This is a short parser game, written in Inform. This game was originally released as a submission to the Single Choice Jam. We made some changes and improvements based on the feedback we got from that jam. (Thanks, everyone!) There are lots of new passages, more clues, and even a bit of a hint system.

This is a hard one for me to leave feedback for. I don’t do parser games well at the best of times, so of course a game where the parser is trying to defeat me is even harder, so I can’t tell whether this is a perfect example of a clever parser or more me being dumb :)
Nevertheless, I persevered. The game is so surreal, that it drew me in. However, as a mouse myself, I feel I have to object to the characterisation of mice as cheese-obsessed criminals. It’s totally untrue. There are many criminal schemes that occur to me that aren’t (entirely) cheese-related.
In the end the fortnight was saved, and the train was full of cheese, so it’s not so bad.
This was really fun!
