Shin-Chan: Shiro and the Coal Town is, on paper, the sequel to Millennium Kitchen's Shin-chan: Me and the Professor on Summer Vacation. It's definitely a similar type of game, the two biggest differences being a) you have two smaller locations instead of one big location, and b) it's a lot more linear and story-focused - while M&tP uses a timeloop spin on the tried and true Millennium Kitchen "time-limited summer vacation" pacing, Shiro gives you as much time as you need to do whatever you want. The two areas kind of embody the two things this game is trying to accomplish. The titular Coal Town basically gives us an interactive take on a Shin Chan movie, with the critically acclaimed (no, really) The Storm Called: The Adult Empire Strikes Back being an obvious reference point. The "Unbent Village" setting by contrast gives you a tiny village in Akita to do a massively simplified take on your more standard Millenium Kitchen fare - collectathoning and sidequests, basically. The simplified nature of the game does have it's advantages.

This game is oozing with character, really cute and cozy. The story is engaging enough and doesn't overstay it's welcome. It does a great job conveying the humor of shin chan.1 found this helpful
the running animation is shin-chan's ass dance. 10/10
Super chill, great for relaxing and having some fun.
Finished the game, what a journey This game managed to capture what is it like to be in a Shinchan movie or riddle book. If you grew up with the franchise or works that have similar artstyle to this, this is an absolute treat! If you have no idea what shinchan is before this, some beats might seem arbitrary but still a very much cozy enjoyable experience
