Publisher QubicGames has revealed what could well be either the most satisfying or the most nauseating game on the Switch, depending on what you're into.
Foot Clinic is launching this Friday, September 29th, and does exactly what it says on the tin: tasking you with stepping into the shoes of a podiatrist and launching your very own foot clinic, where you'll be working to treat common foot issues like calluses, corns, and ingrown toenails.
Not only that, but you'll be applying tattoos, plucking hair, vaccinating patients, and much more. It's the perfect game if you happen to be quite fond of, uh... feet.
Here's a look at the key features:
- 12 different tools for treating and beautifying feet
- mechanics of squeezing pimples, cutting nails, cleaning, shaving and much more
- lots of patients with various foot problems
- testing and vaccinating sick clients
- available tool skins to make the game even more funny
- equipment, furniture and decoration upgrades
What's particularly funny about this game is that the trailer prefaces the footage with a warning for 'mild violence'... Well yeah, ripping out funky toenails would probably class as a bit violent, no doubt.
What do you make of this one? Will you be adding it to your Switch collection? Let us know.

Ew this is actually disgusting why did you make an article like this then make THAT the cover image
I dont think I'll ever mentally recover
Jesus f**king christ come on, remove that cover image immediately
I would make a comment, but don't want toe put my foot in it. Maybe they have nailed this, but I somehow heely doubt that. Sorry if I am coming across as callus.
WHY IS THAT THE COVER IMAGE I'M GONNA BE SICK
Nope. Absolutely not
This is the sort of trash I expect to see in mobile game ads, not on a Nintendo Life article.
This is more horrifying than any horror game I've ever played. Please tell me its in the horror category 🤢🤮
Removed - unconstructive
Would this appeal to someone with a foot fetish or is this too gross for them?
Slow news day huh? So much so that you couldn't even scrape the bottom of the barrel, you had to scrape the calluses off the bottom of the barrel's feet!
Bleach here! Get your brain bleach here!
(Seriously but why though?)
I believe I talk in name of everyone if I suggest to change that article image. It's absolutely disgusting.
Looks absolutely grim.. so will probably do ok.
That picture is making me sick to my stomach. Please remove it. It's gross.
I am a grotesque human being and appreciate the humour, and subject matter xD
P.S The graphics are hardly realistic. xD
I regret logging in to see the latest headlines before eating lunch.
Hmm... I think that Quentin Tarantino would like to play this game, lol.
I bet this game's a real nail biter, but I need to see more footage, before I toe the line.
No
Like actually, no.
This is a dark timeline, the fact that this game exists is beyond me. I'm gonna puke
So when's the Spiderman and Frozen crossover DLC?
As a foot fetishist this makes me a bit uncomfortable.
@MS7000 Too gross. I need a nice foot, not a rotten one 😂🤣🤦♂️🤦♂️
@Olliemar28 The problem with the photo is that it looks like it is covered with bugs or spiders. It really is triggering.
This is absolutely disgusting, I did not need to see this. I think I'm going to be sick. Thanks NintendoLife.
Perfect example of "just because you can, doesn't mean you should".
If their goal was to create a game that turns heads and doesn't feel like an oversaturated genre, then they completely succeeded.
I won't be buying it though.
thanks, but no thanks!
Has anybody dared watch the trailer?
But why?!? Way to ruin a guy's breakfast...
For anyone interested just add "images.nintendolife.com/11c6c6a2919aa/" to your ad blocker filter list, then ctrl+F5 for a full refresh and you will not be seeing this article's header image again. Absolutely disgusting Nintendolife.
I've seen trigger warnings on less offensive things on this site.
Yup. That's gross.
Edit : are people seriously offended? Nah there's no way people would be seriously offended! Right?
I've pre-ordered the Special 'Athletes Foot' Edition from Limited Run with the hairy latex foot model. Will look good on my bathroom shelf.
@MS7000 I used to have a foot fetish until I saw this article. Hope that answers your question.
Dear lord, FINALLY! Been deprived of a real game all year!
What with this article's header image and the recent tone-deaf one about the Latino gaming community, can you just be less... Kotaku, please, NL? Come on, you're better than this.
Are the screenshots actually making people legitimately nauseous? The gross-out gags in Ren and Stimpy and many other cartoons are WAY worse than this. It genuinely baffles me that so many people could have such sensitive stomachs. I could understand if it was one of those real-life videos of someone getting something lanced off their foot, but this isn't even remotely realistic.
In the words of Mr. Krabs: "You boys wouldn't have lasted in the navy."
@Not_Soos For me, the photo looks like a foot that is covered with bugs or spiders. It really is triggering.
Probably also related to photos that cause reactions for people with Trypophobia.
If this is too much, so hoe do you manages with the rest of internet, or even in the real life? Newspaper? TV News? AD's?
This is so incredibly tame, and is not even by 0,01% close of being realistic, it's even more "cartoonier" than many cartoons.
There're so many much worser images which has been showed on NL across the years. I at first thought that it were a worser cover image were shown before and then got changed, but no...
Well everyone are unique and differently sensitive. But still this is so incredibly tame, of my the real life is not beautiful. Well, just be happy that mostly here are still very young and hasn't experienced horrible things yet like some others has.
Also amusing that many here clamours after more mature and realistic games on Nintendo consoles but still gets greatly upset by this...
Ren & Stimpy like someone here mentioned is lightyear worser. And it was from 30 years ago...
Going to NintendoLife and seeing this is like going to a store and watching someone performing martial arts
@Keman The problem is that it is cartoony. It doesn’t look like a hairy foot. It looks like a foot covered in spiders. It can be triggering.
@StarChaser I strongly disagree. Watching someone perform martial arts, regardless of where it is, is at least somewhat entertaining. This is like going to a Walmart and seeing an old man shave his back.
Legit wondering if the controls will be fun enough to justify this lol. I have a penchant for extraction videos so I will keep this in mind.
I’m sure it’ll be $1.99 before you know it though, so no rush to buy.
What the actual f***. Not cool, Ollie. Not cool.
WHAT THE ***** JESUS CHRIST GET THIS ***** OFF OF THE SITE
Rookoo Kong really does not like this
Minus points for NintendoLife not conjuring up a nice, hearty “Tow/Toe truck” joke tagline
Anyway, I’m triggered. This game looks like it’s really something LOL
@mlt it's 2023, people actively look for things to be offended by.
Rarely I make empty comment but hey that cover picture is not good.
.....What in fresh hell is this mobile game crap?
You have to admire ppl who do this job in real life.
Funny reactions in the replies, to be fair
Removed - flaming/arguing
@mlt I don't see anyone offended. Just a bit skeeved out.
Removed - flaming/arguing
@SteamEngenius
You can cross out that 2023, it's always been and always will be. Also add "some" people actively look for stuff to be offended by.
@scottishwildcat
Well that's a relief then! I personally thought it disgusting but mainly got a good laugh out of it.
@AG_Awesome Ha! Thought so, but just had to check.
@Not_Soos Also a fair answer. Couldn't blame anyone for being put off.
Qubic has been on their A-game recently with Farm Land, and now this! I think my daughter and I will get a lot of joy out of this game.
With all due respect, good grief at the weak-stomached thumb-sucking wussies up in this comment section.
Anyone who buys this should be put immediately on a watch list.
Will the joycons ooze pus when you remove something, will they rumble as if you were actually removing a callous?
Aww, missed last week’s comment party…
