STORY
The Nohara family is headed to Akita Prefecture!

Hiroshi is suddenly given a job assignment near his hometown in Akita. So the Nohara family make their way to a small village near Hiroshi’s parents’ home and rent out a traditional Japanese farmhouse. Nestled in this tranquil rural landscape, they begin their carefree and quiet life in the countryside.

Ginnosuke, Shinnosuke’s grandfather, bestows the mysteries of country playtime by teaching Shinnosuke how to catch bugs and fish. A highlight of every evening is when the family gathers around the sunken hearth to savor delicious Akita dishes.

In the village, Shinnosuke talks with farmers and makes new friends. Every day, he’s enjoying life to the fullest until…

One morning, Shiro shows up at the house covered in soot. As a confused Shinnosuke looks on, Shiro suddenly dashes away…!

Shinnosuke chases after Shiro until, stopped before him, he notices a mysterious train he’s never seen before. Shinnosuke follows after Shiro and accidentally boards this train leading him to Coal Town.

Ratings and reviews

"Hi! I was really excited to play this game because I love Shin-chan. However, when I tried to log in, I was exasperated because a membership is compulsory. If it were a simple in-app purchase, I would pay for it, but the game restricts access completely 😒. Demanding a recurrent monthly fee alienates the fans, especially since missing just one payment locks you out . Try to see people opinion and expecting a result for it .Why didn't you mention beforehand that this is a paid game?"

I was happy to see a Shinchan game on the Play Store and downloaded it with excitement. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. The game mentions paying only to remove ads, which suggests it can be played for free. I was okay with ads, but the game does not open without subscribing. This is misleading. If payment is mandatory, it should be clearly listed as a paid game, not as “in-app purchases.” Better transparency is needed.

I was excited to try the new Shinchan game by Crunchyroll, but the experience was extremely frustrating. I spent a long time trying to log in, and after finally getting in, the game immediately asked me to buy a subscription before I could even play. This feels completely unfair. If the game requires a subscription, they should say it clearly from the start instead of wasting players’ time. It seems like they only care about money, not about giving users a good experience. 👎👎
