Casual playthrough ~12 hours No spoilers in this review! Played on a Steamdeck [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45534557/]@MatureContent I am yet to play Shiro and the Coal Town, so whether that game is better than this one or not I don't know yet, but I do get that the general consensus is that the sequel is superior to this one. This was to me a super cozy game and a lot more enjoyable than I thought it would be. With games like these they often only get their appeal from being based on a popular franchise, and the games themselves often end up not really being that good, so my expectations were quite low when I bought this. It, however, turned out to be fun, the world design is really beautiful with all these what I assume, are hand drawn environments that you can freely explore and there was enough gameplay for it to not be boring, so I'm looking forward to play the "sequel" which I already own and I heard should be a much better game. Without spoiling anything important, you are Shin Chan, a 5 year old boy on summer vacation with his family in this rural Japanese village. Before getting there, you meet a strange man who hands you a camera that prints out pictures of whatever it captures. This camera and the strange man become the center pieces in this story later on. I can't really mention too much more without spoiling anything, but there are also dinosaurs! Playing this game feels pretty much like controlling an actual 5 year old. Most time is spent running around exploring, catching bugs, fishing, finding strange plants, playing games and interacting with all the people in this small town. You have this action mask drawing diary where you document all your findings in, like pictures of insects, plants and fish and also every story related moment is logged inside this diary. There is also an encyclopedia where you can look up whatever might still be undiscovered. Beside this, there is also a small farm that you can visit daily to water the plants, a rock-paper-scissors dinosaur turn-based fighting game you can play with the other kids and a lot of bulletin boards across town, all asking for all sorts of items which they pay you money for completing. I think it is important to say, that this game is slow and it feels very japanese in design, with a lot of repetition and scavenger hunting being the core mechanic for most mission objectives, so if you do not like this style, this game definitely isnt for you! Saving in this game is also only done manually and only when the game permits it, which is when you go to bed and switch to a new day. This is slightly annoying at times, but thankfully the days are never really too long, so you still get the chance to save quite frequently. I only ever watched the Chinese speaking version of this show, so I also played through this game in Chinese, but since my Chinese isn't perfect, I would have preferred English subs with Chinese speaking, but that unfortunately isn't an option and only Japanese is available with English subtitles. This is a small thing of course and is probably only a problem for me, but I felt like mentioning it anyway. If you like Shin Chan, I can definitely recommend this game. It does feel very much like being in the shoes of an over energetic and very imaginative 5 year old. I got this game through the Shin Chan Bundle while it was on sale and paid like 20 euro for both games, so I can recommend getting it that way. ————————————————————————————— [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45534557/]Help me out by following my Curator, I’d really appreciate it!!

I played this game to learn some japanese and cuz this type of games always were making me curious about them. In short tho, it's pretty much a walking sim with some collectable and mini game elements. The strongest part of this game are the visuals, sounds and just overall presentation and the feel. Incredibly cozy and viby. Just chilling, fishing, watering the plants and enjoying the crazy story. The game is incredibly looking. I love small hub worlds where you slowly expand them but there are still small and carefully crafted Good ♥♥♥♥ if you wanna chill or learn japanese, might wanna try it out to see if it sticks otherwise

Fun, relaxing Shin chan game, though can be a little slow at times. Time limit doesn't really affect anything, which was my biggest worry- you have all the time you want. Enjoy your vacation.

This is the most adorable game. I love the idea of cozy games like Stardew Valley, but I do always yearn for a story hook or goal-oriented gameplay to really get me invested. This game is pure ADVENTURE as a weird little pervert child-ape thing. There's bug collecting, fishing, helping out the townspeople and a surprisingly fun story to go with it. Just jump in. Enjoy the family summer vacations you used to go on as a kid. I actually almost cried at the ending lol
