A Japanese store listing prices the software at 2,200 yen, which equals roughly $14. The campaign runs for more than 10 hours across over 50 unique stages where players take jobs as mice earning cheese. Jobs include acting as a climbing instructor, an artist, a submarine crew member, and a hairdresser using the Joy-Con 2 gyro sensor and HD rumble.

Players can tackle the game solo or bring in friends for local couch co-op for up to four players. Online multiplayer supports four players using GameShare, requiring only one copy of the software. Successful jobs reward currency used to buy more than 200 cosmetic accessories.
