Earlier this year, Of Mice and Sand landed on 3DS. That same game is now coming to Switch with some extras as Of Mice and Sand: Revised.
The premise of the game involves handling a desert craft and its rodent crew on a ship. You can build facilities and make food for breeding the mice with different items. As the ship develops, more mice will join in, allowing for more jobs to be taken on. It seems that the Switch version will have new events, maps, and enemies.
