(1) Two ways of love in one game?

After trying the demo,

The characters of the two heroines are set up as complete opposites.

So, as one game

Two love stories (sin-ae, romantic comedy)

I think it may be the intention to provide it.

(2) Dami’s secret?  

The love story with Dami

It might be a little dark

There's a scene in the opening video where Dami is crying.

(The background in this scene also seems like a meaningful place...)

Also, Dami has a past connection with the main character.

Since the main character doesn't remember, there's no need to explain.

Maybe, Dami said it as if she came to the interview by chance

I just want to work here because it's close to my house.

I don't know if it's a lie.

Because, while the main character is contemplating whether or not to pick Dami,

"(She, who has a lot of experience working part-time) says she doesn't really have any motivation to work at our store,"

Isn't her motivation the 'main character'?

In other words, I came here on purpose because I wanted to see the main character again.

Meanwhile, there are quite a few hints about Dami's past.

① Righteous personality, ② Good self-defense skills,

③ A situation where the police recognize her face,

④ The line, “It’s only been a year, but I’ve learned a lot...”

It makes me wonder about her past.

Was she or her father a cop?

(Could it be that my dad died on duty as a police officer or became disabled???)

The most curious piece of information is the tattoo on his chest (heart).

This is a heartbeat graph extending from the heart.

①Reason for choosing nursing department, ②Family circumstances,

③I think it might be connected to the relationship with the main character.

Anyway, it is a work of the story restaurant 'Studio Tabi'.

The above hints seem like they will work intricately into the story .

(3) Fresh and lively Bohee  

I'm also really looking forward to the love story with Bo-hee.

Bohee is a tsundere, silly character.

In the opening video

If you get caught yawning loudly, you will feel embarrassed,

It's weird to laugh out loud in front of the main character and then suddenly become cold

It's so cute.

Her love for Bo-hee helps her achieve her dream (to become a novelist).

In the process of the main character cheering hard

It looks like it's going to bloom.

as a result,

You can meet two heroines with different charms.

I'm really looking forward to 'Heart-pounding Ramen House'!!

Title: SAEKO: Giantess Dating Sim

Developer: SAFE HAVN STUDIO

Features: 2D pixel graphics horror visual novel game

Platform: PC

Language: Korean support

Price: 16,500 won (14,850 won until June 12)

SAEKO : Giantess Dating Sim is a 2D pixel graphic horror visual novel game developed by SAFE HAVN STUDIO .

It was first released through Stove Indie on May 29, 2024 , and was also released on Steam the following day, May 30 .

However, since the Steam version does not support Korean, if you want to play in Korean, you must purchase the Stove Indie version .

The story begins one night when a cold rain pours down, and the protagonist, Lin, accidentally meets an incredibly large woman .

But this is it,

It's hard to say whether the opponent is huge or whether the protagonist becomes too small at some point.

Her huge, secret, and private life

The woman who took Rin to her home says her name is 'Saeko' and that she is not giant, but Rin has become a dwarf.

However, as 'Rin', who has lost all memories except her own name, there is no way to confirm how much of Saeko's words are true and how much is a lie.

In a situation where everything is a mystery, including her memories of the past and the reason why she suddenly shrank, Rin begins a strange cohabitation with Saeko.

Saeko gives Rin one of her desk drawers.

For Lin, who had become a dwarf, that place became a temporary home.

Inside the drawer were a few odds and ends that appeared to have been put there by Saeko.

But what really surprised Lynn wasn't the size of the objects, which appeared to be several times larger than herself.

In Saeko's desk drawer, there were already several other 'dwarfs' who had shrunk just like Rin.

Last night, there were also people like Rin who had been discovered by Saeko and brought into the drawer, and there were also many people who seemed to be quite accustomed to life here.

Among them, a male figure named 'Taki' approaches Rin and says that, under Saeko's orders, from today onwards, Rin will be the 'keeper of this drawer'.

Administrator, what is that...

According to Taki's explanation, the little people are basically unable to freely touch the items in the drawer.

Because Saeko, the owner of the drawer, doesn't allow it.

However, the only exception is the person who was granted 'Administrator' authority by Saeko.

The manager can touch or move objects, and sometimes even pass certain objects to other people.

Lin doesn't quite understand what this 'authority' means, but he somehow ends up becoming the manager of the drawer.

Wait a minute, how about this?

Doesn't it feel like a pretty interesting and unique piece of work?

But don't forget.

The genre of this work is 'horror'.

At the end of the prologue, Saeko takes one of the dwarves out of the drawer and swallows it whole.

Yes, that's right.

The giant Saeko was not simply a kind girl who took care of the dwarves, but was the absolute ruler of this world, capable of eating or killing the dwarves depending on her mood.

Under Saeko's instructions, Rin is assigned the role of 'administrator', managing the dwarves against her will.

Will he be able to survive this strange and terrifying cohabitation?

Manage your little ones' charm and stamina.

The cohabitation with Saeko began on October 5, 2008, and continued for seven days until October 12 .

The game's story consists of a prologue and three chapters:

It consists of:

Lin, the manager of the drawer, can talk to the dwarves that stay in the drawer, or give them certain items or food.

However, special care must be taken when delivering food.

Because depending on Rin's choice, the person who will become Saeko's 'next snack' will be decided.

It's horrible, but Saeko eats the little people.

For her, it is more of a hobby and a gastronomic act.

But Saeko doesn't eat just any food.

Among the little people, she only picks out and eats the ones that look particularly delicious.

The dwarf who becomes the manager of the drawer must prepare 'delicious dwarfs' for Saeko to eat.

The person who eats the food given by the manager has their attractiveness level increase, and eventually ends up being chosen as a 'snack' that whets Saeko's appetite.

That is, the life and death of the little people are determined by the player's choice.

In addition to the Charm stat, the manager must also manage the Stamina stats of the characters.

At the top of the game screen, you can check the status of each character.

The number next to the sparkly icon represents 'Charm', and the number next to the heart icon represents 'Stamina'.

Anyone with a charm score of over 50 will be eaten by Saeko.

Also, if one of the dwarves' stamina stats becomes 0,

Note that Saeko mercilessly kills Rin for failing to properly manage her people.

Answer Saeko's questions carefully.

Every evening, Rin has to be Saeko's conversation partner.

Please listen carefully to the story she tells.

Saeko may show affection once or twice, but remember that Saeko is not very patient.

During the seven days of living together with Saeko, Rin is able to move Saeko's heart.

Where that heart will go is entirely up to the player's choice.

Check Saeko's cell phone.

Every evening, if Rin successfully gets through the conversation with Saeko (i.e. survives), she can use Saeko's cell phone at night.

The mail and phone menus become gradually accessible as Saeko's affection for Rin increases.

In the News menu, you can find articles containing clues or foreshadowing related to the game's main story.

'J Land' is Saeko's favorite web novel platform, and depending on which ending route you take, the content of the final story of the web novel 'Cola Float', 'Episode 4: Half a Year Later', will change.

There are a total of 10 unlockable items in the dictionary menu.

These items are available for acquisition based on the story progression and player choices.

You will need to play through the game at least twice to collect all the items in the pre-game menu, but you can use the skip function when replaying, so you can progress quickly.

Other game features

'SAEKO: My Cohabitation with a Giant Girl' supports a total of 30 save slots .

This allows you to save appropriately whenever necessary, as well as save at branch points or endings.

There are three endings in this work, and after viewing the ending, the image on the title screen will change depending on the result.

Clear all three endings and check out the story of Saeko and Rin, each with a different ending.

She's too big for me

To the beautiful and smart Saeko,

There is a very special and scary secret that no one knows about.

That's right,

The fact that she keeps little people in her desk drawer and kills or eats them depending on her mood.

Why on earth does Saeko gather these little people?

And how can she make such a cruel choice that takes someone's life so nonchalantly?

On the outside she appears perfectly beautiful, but is the darkness in her heart so deep and dark that it swallows her up whole?

Is her inner self that deeply sick?

Or is Saeko just a natural sociopath who is good at hiding her true self?

At first, I was wondering why the title of this game was 'Giantess Dating Sim' and why the genre tag for the game was 'dating simulation'.

But after changing my perspective a bit, I realized that this work was a true dating simulation.

However, the thrilling, exciting romance we expect is not here.

In my relationship with Saeko,

It is several times more difficult than asking questions like "Honey, what changed in me today?", "Honey, don't you even know what I'm thinking?", or "Are you sorry? What are you sorry about?", and it requires psychological observation and reaction that is much more dangerous. (...)

In a real relationship, if you hurt your girlfriend's feelings, you'll end up fighting or, in severe cases, breaking up.

But in this work, if you hurt Saeko's feelings, you die.

Literally die. ( ...)

So if you want to live, if you want to survive,

Try your best to never displease her.

'SAEKO: My Cohabitation with a Giant Girl' is an exceptionally beautiful piece of pixel art that was created with great care, point by point.

In particular, the scene on the night of the 6th day, when Saeko went to see the sea with Rin, with her hair fluttering naturally in the sea breeze, is breathtakingly beautiful.

But in stark contrast to its beauty, the story that drives the work is indescribably dark and heavy.

After seeing all the endings, I had two thoughts.

One is, if I had the same mind as Saeko and was in the same situation as her, what would I have done?

And another thing is, if I were trapped in a world like Lin, with no choice, where my life was threatened at every moment, what choice would I have made?

After finishing playing this game, I suddenly thought of 'Saya's Song', even though it has a completely different setting and story.

Even though the female protagonists were obviously villains, I felt a strange sense of compassion for them.

Perhaps it was because even in their hearts, which were steeped in malice and cruelty, there was a faint glimpse of human emotions or aspects.

Of course, that doesn't mean I want to understand or condone their actions.

From a human perspective, it is completely unforgivable and unacceptable.

Nevertheless, the little bit of humanity that remained within him aroused compassion in my heart.

The game was over, but a strangely sinking feeling remained in my heart.

It was a lingering feeling that was somewhat unsettling, but made me think about it again.

You will understand why I feel that way once you play it yourself.

How are you?

Beautiful but cruel,

A sweet and thrilling cohabitation with her giant,

Would you like to start now?
