Finding the mouse is a Z-machine interactive fiction game written with Inform 7 and is © 2009 by James Dessart.
In this tiny one-room game, you play as someone in their mostly-empty kitchen who wants to use their computer. But where's the mouse? Where did that thing go?
This solution is by David Welbourn, and is based on Release 1 of the game.
Kitchen
> drop bag. g. l. surf.
*** You found your mouse! ***
Kitchen
> x me. i. (default PC and carrying nothing)
> x chair. stand.
> x table. x computer. (Its mouse is missing.)
> x microwave. look in it. (empty)
> x bag. take it. put it in microwave. x bag.
> open bag. (You're not in the mood for it.)
> drop bag. (It bursts open.)
> look. (The mouse is back. It ate the popcorn.)
> x mouse.
You must be on the chair to surf the web. Otherwise, the game thinks you want to surf the microwave?
> sit on chair. surf.
*** You found your mouse! ***
