Life sim Starsand Island in development for Nintendo Switch

Creativision Studio will be putting its upcoming project Starsand Island on Nintendo Switch, the company has announced. Expect it to launch some this winter.

The game will be “delving into emotional themes of stillness, harmony with nature, and the bittersweet act of returning home.”
