Tsuki Tea House
Is there anything more relaxing than having a hot cup of tea in a cosy cafe on a rainy day? Tsuki knows exactly what that vibe's all about, which is why his latest endeavour is to brew the best drinks for his friends in Mushroom Village. In Tsuki Tea House, you'll manage a cafe in the countryside while getting to know the charming residents of the village at the same time, with a variety of different recipes you can unlock as you go along.
Expanding your teahouse also means branching out into new ventures, which include a humble wooden stall near the lake and a food truck by the temple grounds. You can even help Tsuki go fishing, because even the tea master needs a break every now and then!

Punch TV
Just because they look like lovable Saturday morning cartoons you grew up with doesn't mean they can't throw a punch - and that's exactly what these all-too-familiar characters from Punch TV are all about. This colourful team brawler offers different fighting modes you can dive right into across 55 playable characters, each one bearing a striking resemblance to pop culture icons throughout the years.
With all the moves available for your chosen fighter, you can get creative with your piledrivers, leg sweeps, and overpowered fireballs both in co-op and in PvP. If you've always wanted to pit that generic LEGO spaceman-but-not-quite to an Optimus Prime lookalike, now's your chance.

Crunchyroll: Shin chan: Summer Vacation
Ah, summer vacations as a child - there's nothing quite as innocent, even for naughty little Shin-chan, it seems. This time around, the popular character is embarking on an unforgettable journey across the Japanese countryside filled with all kinds of magic and nostalgia - plus a llittle bit of dinosaur-battling on the side.
The narrative adventure promises plenty of heartwarming moments as well throughout Kumamoto, as you complete tasks for the townsfolk, investigate oddities, and unravel the mysteries of time itself with the titular professor. The hand-drawn visuals and the fully voiced Japanese dialogue add to the slice-of-life charm, all available to play with a Crunchyroll Game Vault subscription.
