Of course, you don't necessarily have to play Embr in multiplayer. Both the PC and Xbox versions (and we're assuming the Stadia version) support cross platform play, but the Switch version is missing this feature and it hurts the experience big time. Yes, you can arrange to play four player with a few Switch-owning friends - there is no splitscreen local multiplayer here - but the most immediate and easy option for finding other people to party up with in Embr is, judging by our experience, an absolute bust. The first thing we should mention about this Switch port of Embr is that we could not, over six full days of trying, find more than precisely two online games to join, both of which only had one other player in their lobby.
