Development for SAEKO: Giantess Dating Sim is going smoothly, with a satisfying ending for both Saeko and her shrunken captives already written. SAFE HAVN STUDIO will make a follow-up announcement on Steam and its social media accounts once a concrete release date has been finalized.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SAEKO: Giantess Dating Sim follows the story of Rin, a person who has been shrunken down to a few inches in height and has no recollection of past events. As Saeko\u2019s newest addition to her desk drawer, you must interact with the other shrunken people and Saeko herself to survive and possibly find a way back to normalcy.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/20241211-41190-001.jpeg\" alt=\"Saeko Giantess Dating Sim dialogue\" class=\"wp-image-41194\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/20241211-41190-001.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/20241211-41190-001-380x214.jpeg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/20241211-41190-001-768x432.jpeg 768w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>During the day, you act as a sort of \u201csupervisor\u201d for the people in the drawer. These tiny humans have Health and Appeal stats which determine their condition and overall fate. Performing certain actions like giving them food or reacting positively will keep them healthy and happy, while denying them basic needs and responding negatively will make them sad.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/20241211-41190-002.jpeg\" alt=\"Saeko Giantess Dating Sim choices\" class=\"wp-image-41193\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/20241211-41190-002.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/20241211-41190-002-380x214.jpeg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/20241211-41190-002-768x432.jpeg 768w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When night comes, you hop out of the drawer and become Saeko\u2019s confidant. By answering her queries with \u201cyes\u201d or \u201cno,\u201d you will influence Saeko\u2019s disposition and learn more about her. Choose the wrong answer or go against Saeko too many times though and you might end up becoming a thumb-sized blood spatter. Saeko has some weird hobbies aside from being able to shrink people, and the game can get pretty dark sometimes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the interactions with shrunken people feeling not unlike a point-and-click adventure game and the Saeko conversations taking inspiration from visual novels, SAEKO: Giantess Dating Sim is shaping up to be one of 2025\u2019s more interesting games.
