Winter Burrow, the anticipated cozy woodland survival adventure developed by Pine Creek Games and published by Noodlecake, has officially launched on Nintendo Switch.

Available now as a digital download through the Nintendo eShop, Winter Burrow expands the Switch’s ever-growing library of relaxing, atmospheric indie experiences. First unveiled during a previous Nintendo Direct, Winter Burrow places players in the role of a mouse returning from city life to find their burrow—a childhood home—left in disrepair and their aunt missing.

Set against a backdrop of crisp, wintry environments, the game challenges players to restore the dilapidated burrow, uncover the mystery of the aunt’s disappearance, and thrive in the unforgiving wilderness. In a recent official statement, the developers at Pine Creek Games expressed excitement for the title’s Switch release.

They emphasized that Winter Burrow is designed for players to shape their own story within a living, breathing woodland world.

The gameplay invites exploration, resource gathering, tool crafting, sweater knitting, pie baking, and meaningful interactions with woodland neighbors.

The development team highlighted that survival is personalized, allowing users to tailor their character, decorate the burrow, and establish their preferred play style. Players will face environmental challenges such as harsh weather and insect wildlife, reinforcing the central message that community and friendship are vital for survival.

With a focus on player choice, every aspect of Winter Burrow—from resource management to social engagement—can be approached at a relaxed pace, ensuring accessibility for both seasoned survival game fans and newcomers to the genre. Winter Burrow joins an impressive lineup of indie hits on Nintendo Switch, contributing to the platform’s reputation for supporting innovative, heartwarming games.

Noodlecake, acclaimed for their diverse catalog of indie titles, and Pine Creek Games, known for immersive environments, have collaborated to create an experience that seamlessly blends survival mechanics with cozy, narrative-driven gameplay. The official launch trailer, released alongside the Nintendo eShop debut, offers prospective players a glimpse into the enchanting world and storytelling that Winter Burrow promises.
