Gameplay

Fishing

• Catch many fish types—from common ones to rare finds.
• Fish can be used as cooking ingredients.
• You’ll also collect fish in a dedicated collection book, especially as you catch rare species.

Catching Insects

• Each insect has its own habitat and is active at different times of day.
• When you spot an insect, Shin can use an insect net to catch it.
• Collected insects are added to your collection.

Growing Vegetables

• Interact with the soil beds to start the process.
• First, sow seeds.
• Water them, and keep watering whenever the soil beds dry out.
• Finally, harvest your vegetables.
• Vegetables serve as ingredients for cooking.

Picking Wild Vegetables

Features

Life Begins in the Countryside

The story begins when the Nohara family leaves their busy routine in Kasukabe and settles into a peaceful rural village in Akita Prefecture. Shinchan’s father, Hiroshi, receives a temporary job assignment nearby, so the family rents a traditional farmhouse. The game captures countryside Japan with details like vegetable gardening, easygoing evening meals, and warm community connections. You’ll experience Shinchan’s day-to-day life—from helping his grandmother in the garden to catching bugs in the woods.

Everything feels calm and familiar—until one morning when Shiro, covered in black soot, suddenly runs away.

The Discovery of Coal Town

While searching after Shiro, Shinchan finds an old train station with a train he’s never seen before. Without hesitation, he boards—and ends up in Coal Town, a strange settlement frozen in the Showa era. Time in Coal Town feels different, and the locals continue their lives as though nothing has changed.

Coal Town isn’t just a place—it’s like a storybook world full of secrets, vintage charm, and memories people seem to have forgotten. Your goal becomes clear: uncover what’s hidden, support the townspeople, and rediscover the value of community and childhood adventures.

A Nostalgic Town Suspended in Time

Coal Town draws inspiration from post-war Japan’s Showa era, and the visuals reflect that era with impressive authenticity. Wooden houses, retro signage, and softly lit streets create a cozy, immersive atmosphere. The town feels carefully crafted, and every corner seems to offer something new.

NPCs carry on with daily routines—opening shops, sweeping porches, playing games—making the world feel alive. As Shinchan interacts with residents, their personal stories and quiet hardships slowly come into focus, adding depth and helping reveal the true nature of Coal Town.

An Open World Worth Exploring

The game encourages you to explore at your own pace. There are no forced missions, and there are no daily login rewards to pressure you. Instead, progress comes from simple everyday actions—planting, delivering food, listening to someone’s memories, or discovering a new path. The design reinforces the main idea: moving slowly matters, and beauty can be found in small, ordinary moments.
