Entergram has announced that a remake of NEC Interchannel’s dating simulator game, Sentimental Graffiti, is in development. The release date for the project is currently unknown.
The remake will improve the original’s graphics, mechanics, and other elements to bring it up to modern game standards. As a result, the story will also be “adjusted to fit the modern times” while still keeping the character designs and other elements basically unchanged. Further, the remake will feature a new cast. Much like the original game’s casting, the new game’s staff is holding open auditions for six of the heroines. The remake’s website is accepting applicants until July 31, and no experience is required.
NEC Interchannel released the original Sentimental Graffiti game on the Sega Saturn console in Japan in 1998. Later, it ported the dating simulator to Windows and PlayStation. The game inspired the 12-episode Sentimental Journey television series from Sunrise and director Kazuyoshi Katayama. Media Blasters released the series on DVD in 2004.
Those looking for their dating sim fix can play SAEKO: Giantess Dating Sim, available today on Nintendo Switch. It released on May 29, 2025 for PC via DLsite, Steam, and Stove. The game features English, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese language options. Lastly, here’s an overview of the game via the official Steam page:
