You play as Rin, one of several people shrunk to thumb size and kept in Saeko’s desk drawer. Under her protection, you take on the role of supervisor while trying to survive in a situation where Saeko holds overwhelming power.
By day, distribute items and interact with the other captives while managing their health and appeal. Your choices help determine who survives each day. At night, talk with Saeko and respond carefully; the wrong answer can bring a fatal outcome.
The story moves through successive days and nights, with choices leading to multiple endings. Its visual novel presentation uses two distinct styles of pixel art, and the game also includes a phone and minigame sections.
Reviewers who enjoyed the game often praise its distinctive pixel-art presentation, soundtrack, and unsettling premise. Many highlight the tense conversations with Saeko, where choosing when and how to respond makes dialogue feel dangerous. Some also appreciate the story’s emotional and psychological themes. Criticism commonly focuses on choices that feel more limited than they first appear, a short runtime, and endings or character arcs that some reviewers found underdeveloped.
You opened your eyes to find a giant girl looking down at you...
SAEKO: Giantess Dating Sim is an adventure game set in 2000s Japan about the lives of Saeko, a girl with mysterious abilities, and the little people she has shrunk to the size of her thumb. Experience Saeko's and the little people's fates in the day and at night, through two separate game systems with different art styles.
You are Rin, the latest addition to the little people. Under Saeko’s protection, you spend your days in her desk drawer together with the other little people.
But don't let your guard down. Saeko has some...interesting hobbies, to say the least.
Stunning and unique visuals drawn in two different styles of pixel art
A world filled with brutal allure inspired by many strange tales, beginning with Fueti Shizue’s work
An original game system which forces players to make difficult choices and live with the consequences
A soundtrack heavily influenced by future garage and breakcore, composed by the developer himself
The deepest journey into a developer’s proclivities in indie game history
Saeko has entrusted you with the role of supervisor.
In the day, you distribute items to the little people and interact with them, keeping the group together. However, you are no ordinary supervisor.
Each little person has two stats: Health and Appeal. These stats determine whether they will live or die. Give items to the little people in the drawer to manage their stats and make a certain...wish...of Saeko's come true.
At night, you come out of the drawer and become Saeko's confidante. Listen to anything she has to say and reply with a "Yes" or "No" as appropriate.
But be careful. Human life has much less weight to it when you are only the size of a thumb.
If you give the wrong answer, you'll soon find yourself meeting a bad end.
How long can you keep up your role as the supervisor? How many more days can you survive? And when you find yourself in a position to sway their destinies, who will you decide to save?
