Before the start of your adventure, you'll receive a strange camera from an Evil Professor that serves as your daily companion in recording all of your discoveries and moments during your venture. Enjoy doing other stuff like catching various insects and fishes to fill up your wildlife journal. So, be sure to get your camera and bug-catching net ready as you explore the wonderful land of Kyushu.

    However, things get a little bit tricky upon realizing that your friends in Kyushu look exactly the same as your friends' way back home. Plus, things get even darker upon your encounter with a giant creature and a strange man.

    Shin-chan: Me and the Professor on Summer Vacation - The Endless Seven Day Journey might not be action packed, but it's incredibly endearing.

    Shin-chan: Me and the Professor on Summer Vacation – The Endless Seven-Day Journey on PC is a bare-bones port, but one that is an absolute joy to play on Steam Deck without any issues. If you're ok with an experience that is basically the Switch version with crisper visuals and improved performance, this is an easy recommendation on Steam.

    Despite the charm that Shin chan and co. bring to this endless summer vacation, with its bizarre story and fun cast, it’s not enough to carry it across its 10+ hour playtime. The gameplay falls flat in its monotony and doesn’t quite capture the charm of embracing everyday life like other games have done before it.

    Its a wonderful game. If you ever wanted to put your hands on a "Boku no Natsuyasumi" game but couldnt because they never got released out ofIts a wonderful game. If you ever wanted to put your hands on a "Boku no Natsuyasumi" game but couldnt because they never got released out of japan, or if you liked "Attack of the Friday Monsters" then you are gonna love this, since is made by the same studio and director under similar concepts. It does a wonderful job at recreating the feeling of being a kid living a summer vacation in a rural zone of japan. Is also ridiculously beautiful, the backgrounds look like they belong to a Ghibli movie and the summery atmosphere is really well done, youll be hearing the sound of cicadas, birds, rivers, etc most of the times and along with the visuals is really soothing.

    The mix of that original "Boku No Nasuyasumi" concept with Shin Chan its really well blended, it makes the game feel even more nostalgic and the wacky story fits surprisingly well and its entertaining. It has flaws sure but I think it achieves its purpose and I really loved it.
