About Shin chan: Me and the Professor on Summer Vacation The Endless Seven-Day Journey
Hiroshi has to go on a business trip to Kyushu, so now the entire Nohara family has decided to stay with an childhood friend of Misae's in Assou, Kumamoto.
But when they arrive at Kumamoto Station on their way to Assou, they meet a strange man who offers them an even stranger camera on the condition that they'll act as his witnesses...
With his new camera in hand, Shinnosuke can enjoy his summer vacation in the beautiful Assou fields and mountains to the fullest. The scenery is even crawling with creatures that he would never find in Kasukabe. And there are townspeople to help and new friends to make.
That said...don't these kids look an awful lot like the ones he knows from home?
One cool summer night, Shinnosuke witnesses a giant creature outlined against the light of a full moon. Next to the creature is a strange man with a wide smile.
It's the same weird man who gave him the camera at the station...
And he calls himself the Professor Akuno. Following this encounter more and more strange things start to happen around Assou...

Playing this game during a summer heat wave is quite the immersive experience. Other than that, it's a bit disapointing they turned down the ecchi stuff from the Shin-chan franchise but i guess it was to be expected since this game target a very young audience. Anyway It's not a bad game but it's very mild, so if you are into this type of experience you should pick up the sequel which is way more interesting and has way more content.2 found this helpful
Do you feel nostalgic for your childhood summer vacations? Is fishing and catching bugs your favorite part of Animal Crossing? Do you think dinosaurs are cool? Then this is the perfect game for you! The background art is GORGEOUS, the sound effects create the perfect ambience. The storyline is fun and silly. I've really enjoyed this game so far, and can't wait to keep playing!
This is certainly a cozy game, and the background artworks are absolutely gorgeous. I played this on Steam Deck and after setting the controls, I didn't encounter any issues. This game is clearly a predecessor to Shiro and the Coal Town, and it shows. Fortunately, I played this one first so I wasn't too let-down. Compared to Shiro and the Coal Town, it does still share the same item gathering mechanics, which lends to its idyllic summer vacation vibes. However, the story itself is lackluster and incredibly childish. Also, one of the minigames is infuriating to play due to pure chance, which is tied to an achievement. That said, it still achieves in being an enjoyable journey despite its shortfalls. While I did appreciate the journey, I didn't really feel like this game was well worth my money. This game is fine if you don't mind the poor writing and plot developments only a 5-year old would find satisfying. If you are just looking to have a chill and relaxing time (and not care about achievements), then this game would certainly scratch that cozy game itch. But otherwise, I'd say just save your money on this one and play Shiro an the Coal Town instead, which has the exact same rel…
This is a lightweight and enjoyable game with an interesting plot, good for those taking a break from other heavy games.
While this is supposed to be a cozy game, it's only for Nintendo fans because of the bad initial controls. Yes, one can change them but that game is not for me. Kinda boring and dull BUT I will give this a thumbs up because of the graphics snd cuteness. Not for me but I can see why someone would like it.
vry easy to play nice vibes abit too repetitive i am so ill
