Cons: the mouse still can’t find its cable, no translation to every language in the world.
Pros: great art style, finally a place where you can escape work
Beautiful drawings! Great idea!!
I had a great time playing the game. Even though the story is a bit melancholic, the music made it a calming experience. I liked it! The mouse is cute.
The fact that this isnt made in a normal engine is really cool! Great job. The music and art is wonderful! Only wish there was more of it! (Rated and appreciated!
Very nice story with good art to go with it.
Hey, I saw the name of your game and played it inmediatly. You achieved the feeling of being in a loop due to the rat race. Nice art by the way.
I love the art in the game!
The way you represented the rat race using a literal rate is great
Amazing. love the artstyle.
I love how talking to your coworker just stress you out.. being a introvert has its own cons. Loved the art style.
I'm choosing to quit work, and it leads me to the end, and still the stress keeps going. Love this idea and artwork. This idea reflects the reality, a metaphor for modern life, with the hope that each of us can find our place of peace. Nice game!
5 out of 5 out of 5 lol. Great idea, great execution. I can see this hit off with like a dozen people who really would fall in love with the idea.

the art is wonderful, the rat is relatable
Love the artwork!
I came here to play some games, left with existential crisis.
Just kidding, had this a long time ago LOL I LOVE the art, it's so powerful for the theme you went. I wonder how would you expand for this? Is there a way to break the loop? Or attempts and then the realization we can't truly escape the loop?
Loved the art style, great job!
