Midnight Paws

Sneak a tiny mouse through rain-soaked backyards after dark, darting between bushes and mouse holes while a prowling black cat hunts for any sign of movement.

It is almost midnight, and the darkness is deepening. You're a small mouse trying to cross a string of moonlit, rain-slicked backyards, but a black cat is on the prowl and it's listening for you. Move carefully between bushes to break its line of sight, and watch the fence line — if the cat climbs up on top, it's about to pounce toward wherever you last gave yourself away. Each backyard you clear safely raises your score, but one mistake in the open sends you right back to try again. It's a quiet, atmospheric little stealth game built around patience and timing rather than reflexes: read the cat's behavior, use the environment, and slip through to the next mouse hole before it finds you.

How to play

Press Enter at the title screen to begin. Move your mouse toward the glowing mouse holes to advance to the next backyard, staying under bushes whenever the black cat is nearby to avoid being noticed. Watch for the cat appearing on the fence — that means it's about to leap toward your last known position. Getting caught ends the run; your best score (number of backyards cleared) is tracked across attempts.

Controls
