THQ Nordic and developer Green Tile Digital are releasing cute train adventure Locomoto on Nintendo Switch on June 26. It’s available for pre-order now on the Nintendo eShop, with a 15% discount ($25.49).

Locomoto is a cozy life sim centered around a train. Your train! As the conductor, you can customize your train with new carriages, furniture, and decorations. Travel to different towns, meet friendly animal-folk, complete quests, and deliver satisfied passengers.

At train stations, you’ll need to stop and gather resources, craft new materials, and exchange passengers. While traveling to the next destination, passengers want to be kept happy with food and friendly chats. Unlock new outfits, blueprints, and train customization options by progressing through the story.

It’s basically Animal Crossing on wheels, but with a much more limited, indie budget. It does feature a chill, relaxing soundtrack though!

Locomoto released last month on Steam, and has a Very Positive rating (92%) with about 300 reviews. A free demo is also available on Steam.

Locomoto will release on Switch on June 26. It’s rated E for Everyone.
