About Don't Move the Mouse

Don’t Move the Mouse

Don’t Move the Mouse is a minimalist game about restraint, patience, and resisting the simplest impulse of all.

The rule is simple:

don’t move the mouse.

That’s it.

The timer starts the moment the game begins.

The slightest movement ends the run instantly.

No levels.

No story.

No objectives beyond staying perfectly still.

As time passes, the game will try to break your focus.

Fake pop-ups will appear.

Your patience will be tested.

Your hand will betray you.

Or maybe it won’t.

Your time is tracked down to milliseconds.

Every run is saved.

Your performance is ranked.

And yes — this game is designed with achievement hunters in mind.

Some achievements unlock quickly.

Others reward extreme patience and discipline.

Anyone can start.

Not everyone will last.
