You guys like pretty girls, right? (lol)

I also really like pretty girls.

When it comes to things you like, the bigger the better, right?

A game where a giant pretty girl raises me...

Let's start the review of 'SAEKO: My Strange Cohabitation with a Giant Girl' .

Saeko brings the shrunken 'Rin' home

It starts with a story.

Meet various people and take on the role of manager

You must manage the little people well and carry out the missions given by Saeko.

The mission? To raise a dwarf that Saeko will eat every night.

As a manager, give food to one person and increase their attractiveness.

Every night, you have to choose one person to feed Saeko.

Not only that... there is a conversation with Saeko every night.

If you make a wrong choice at this time,

No, if it goes against Saeko's wishes

Death may await.

Communication between the little people and Saeko,

What choice will Lin make?

Original and cute dot style art.

The detailed and humanistic psychological portrayal of Saeko and many other characters

I thought that was a really fun point.

It is also different from many other visual novel-type games such as dating simulations and romance simulations.

Because of the creepy Saeko heroine's characteristics and personality,

I think it was a bit more fun.

There are three endings in total.

Play time is about 2 hours for one ending.

If you only do intermediate saves,

I think 3 hours would be enough to see all the endings!

Personally

For those who like dot games.

For those who want to find out about the special tastes of pretty girls.

For those who want to experience a unique visual novel.

I would like to recommend this game to you!

This post was written subjectively and the information about this game is as follows:

Before we begin

I am a cat who realized once again that I have to finish everything and review it while playing this game. The game I will introduce this time is an indie, crazy, visual novel game called 'Gong GO girl'. The reason I found out about this game and started playing it was when I went to the Stove Indie main page and found a game with a dinosaur roaring thumbnail. Since the thumbnail looked fun, I downloaded it and played it. (With the basic discount + coupon, I was able to purchase it for about 1,500 won.)
So before I get into my thoughts, let me first show you a gameplay video of this game.

review

A parody scene of a good day to watch gag cartoons

First, let me summarize the story of this game.
"What happens when Joe Bob, an otaku with severe second-year chuunibyou (even if the player sets his name, it will be forcibly changed to Joe Bob) enters Meteor High School and meets three girls"
It was possible to summarize it to that extent, but it didn't feel like the story was connected, but rather like it was flowing with the flow of consciousness, so it was more correct to view it as a concept.

Maid cafe famous line

The game's controls were simple. As is typical of the visual novel genre, everything could be done with a mouse click. (Additionally, there were shortcuts like CTRL to skip and spacebar to hide the chat window, but they were not many and were familiar shortcuts to those who had played visual novels.)

The game progresses in a format where you select options, and if you do not select the intended option, the game is over.

Parody of the three beaded beaded musketeers from Crayon Shin-chan the Movie

The graphics were 2D animation graphics, and were literally graphics you would see in a normal visual novel, without the so-called uncanny valley feeling, so it was judged to be more fun (if it were original) when combined with the quirky material.
As for the sound... I had a strong feeling that it was where it should be.
I found no bugs, and instead of my usual pros and cons summary, I'll just talk about the game in a chatty way:

Twisted Bread Girl Cliche + Dragon Ball Z Yamcha Parody

At first, or rather (probably) until I saw the first cliche twist + parody, I thought it was funny.
I could really feel the emotion that I felt from the thumbnail, and I thought that the parody was well incorporated into the game.
But as I progressed through the game, the parts that I thought were advantages began to turn out to be disadvantages.
The game was structured in such a way that almost every major scene was a twist or parody of a cliche, and the gaps between were filled with dad jokes, body jokes, and face jokes. (Even the trailer was a parody of the opening of the anime Blend S.)
In addition, the story/situation progressed according to the flow of consciousness characteristic of a sick game ... so it was structured in a way that you couldn't understand the story unless you knew what the parodies were in the game .

For example, there's an episode where they all go to an abandoned house after exams, and this episode is made up of [a Silent Hill parody (game) and a White Day parody (game), an Ao Oni parody (game), a The Last of Us? (game) parody, a Men in Black parody (movie), a Dotkoi parody (game), and a parody of Marine literature (a post from a specific community?)], and as I said above , if you don't know what a parody is, you'll feel bored and think, "What is this? What are they trying to say?"

In addition, the conversations that take place in the non-parody parts are made up of material that children would like (poop, farts, etc.), dad jokes, body jokes, and face jokes, so they are all things that I consider childish or dirty, so I ended up frowning rather than just being expressionless.
Also, the main character, and no one else, was the factor that disrupted the immersion of the game.
In this game, the main character (Joe Bob) is depicted as a character who doesn't understand the atmosphere or situation and who thinks (assuming) that the average person would know the so-called nerd terms that he knows, and because of this, he is portrayed as a character who ruins the atmosphere in many situations... The problem was so severe that it ruined the atmosphere not only for the characters in the game, but also for the users who were actually playing the game, and it interfered with the immersion in the game. (Not to mention the unfunny jokes about the main character's name.)

Fullmetal Alchemist Parody

Because of that, if you look at it as a kind of meme without looking at the context (dad jokes, physical jokes, etc.), it's fun (if it's a parody that I know), but it's a strange game that's not fun when you look at the game as a whole.

finish

Let me finish. Short story short story... If you only watch one or two lines, it's a good game. Because the illustrations are full of a crazy vibe and the game parodies many famous games (movies, animations, etc.).
But overall, it was a game that naturally made you frown, with childish and unfunny gags, a story that flowed along with the flow of consciousness, and excessive parodies and twists on clichés.
-addition-
To elaborate on the parody part, I could tell that the developer took the shortcomings mentioned above into account and tried to parody famous scenes as much as possible (Shinjuku the Movie, Ao Oni, etc.). However, because they did everything they could, there were a lot of parodies/lines (cliches) that only people in the know would know, and because of that, the story was hard to understand and hard to immerse yourself in.

I put a little more effort into it than usual

Next time I'll make Micana
