The Spirit And The Mouse, a “Ratatouille-esque” adventure, Scampers to switch this fall

As seen in today’s Nintendo Life Indie Spotlight, publisher Armor Games Studios is bringing that The ghost and the mouse to Nintendo Switch in fall 2022 – and it looks like a real treat if you’ve developed a taste for French rodents after watching Pixar’s Excellent Ratatouille.

Set in a small French village, the two-person Canadian developer’s game sees you take control of a mouse to explore the provincial surroundings, solve some easy puzzles, make new relationships and – apparently – pop into buzzing switch boxes leap?! Yes, it seems that the titular mouse here can withstand considerably more voltage than the average rodent and travels via electrical cables. Hey, it’s a video game!

Here are some more details, followed by a handful of screens:

Bring kindness and light to the people of Sainte-et-Claire as Lila – a little mouse with a big heart! Explore a quaint 3D French village, make exciting new friends, and do good for those in need in this lush adventure game.

While it doesn’t look like you’ll be taking control of any human chefs, we love the warm attitude the developers have towards the mousy protagonists in this adventure. The game will be released on Switch and other platforms in the fall.

Let us know below if The Spirit and the Mouse has you sniffing the air with anticipation.
