Description: Mouse Playhouse is a light-hearted VR puzzle game in which you manipulate objects to solve puzzles and guide your pet mice towards the cheese. In Mouse Playhouse, you can also throw objects around, play basketball, darts and even play the xylophone. Players must use the blue objects provided to guide the mice away from trouble and towards the cheese. Discover a world in which you solve challenging puzzles, overcome evil “Meowbots” and seize the cheese!
Review: Mouse Playhouse isn’t the first game to feature a mouse, some cheese and things to block its path to that said cheese, but it is the first one in VR. To be honest, for a freebie this is pretty good and dare I say sells itself short as I would have paid a quid or so for this easily. The playing environment looks good and the play table looks oddly realistic, like little play toys running around in front of you. This isn’t going to keep you amused for more than a single hour, but it is free and well worth a look. If you love games like the classic Lemmings you should enjoy this.
