HYPER REAL, the game label operated by Sankei Digital Co., Ltd. (CEO: Tatsushi Doi), will release the Nintendo Switch version of the adventure game “SAEKO: Giantess Dating Sim,” developed by SAFE HAVN STUDIO, on Thursday, June 25, 2026. Pre-orders for the packaged edition start today, February 26, along with details of a limited edition with special bonuses.
“SAEKO: Giantess Dating Sim” (hereafter “SAEKO”), which was released for PC (Steam, DLsite, Stove) at the end of May 2025, is an adventure game set in Japan in the 2000s, depicting the daily life of a mysterious girl, Saeko, and a group of thumb-sized tiny people. The player takes the role of Rin, a new tiny person rescued by Saeko, and lives with the others inside her desk drawer while fulfilling Saeko’s wishes, talking with her, and more. However, a single wrong answer can lead to the worst possible outcome.
