Shrink Game Month - Size Matters

Next we have Size Matters, a Japanese game designed and drawn by Uru with translation by Alice-Magic. 

You play as a legendary hero in a fantasy land that is suddenly destroyed by the giantess Demon King. The hero then teams up with a goddess to go into the Demon World, a gigantic modern-day city where the two of them are like ants, to find a powerful artifact.

There are some light RPG elements reminiscent of Shrink High, but they're mostly there to convey how powerless you are against the girls of the Demon World. The core gameplay is based around exploration as you find yourself at a school for - you guessed it - giant demon schoolgirls. 

I shied away from it with the pictures here, but there is a lot of gore in the game - as you might expect from Uru. There is a preferences setting that lets you turn off the more extreme gore (as well as some futanari content), but if you aren't cool with death and blood, this one definitely ain't for you.

Shrink Game Month - Shrink High

Of course, Shrink High is considered a classic and for good reason. Developed by A.S. with great art from Manzi and Hakuto, this game basically invented the subgenre and was hugely influential on future games of its kind.

You play as Chijinda You, a high school detective who is investigating disappearances around a school. In the course of his investigation, he discovers a cabal of genius schoolgirls who have invented shrinking technology and are scheming to take over the world.

The first five or six hours have basically no giantess content, focusing much more on old-school RPG combat and finding key items. The enemies can also be brutally hard at times, meaning you'll need to grind quite a lot to progress. 

I found myself really getting into the gameplay after a while, but if you aren't a hardcore RPG fan, this section of the game will likely drag for you. Once you get past that, the protagonist gets shrunk and things get much more interesting. 

There are lots of cool little secrets and sidequests hidden throughout the game and it's sure to keep you busy for dozens of hours. 

Shrink Game Month - Little Snatcher

This month, I'm going to do a series on some shrink games that I've played through recently. First up is Little Snatcher, a fantastic game developed by Kanahebi. The English translation I used was created by Alice-Magic, another big name in the community.

You play as a human test subject whose mind is transferred into the body of a Tiny, bug-sized humanoids created in a lab and sold as pets. You then end up at a school full of giant girls - because of course you do.

The game is all about going from checkpoint to checkpoint while avoiding girls who try to catch and torment you. In order to outrun them, you'll need to use your limited stamina to sprint around the environment. Along the way, you'll also find items scattered around the environment that will improve your stamina and defense stats.

Between the stamina management and its focus on survival and exploration, you could say this is "the Dark Souls of giantess games." Terrible comparisons aside, the gameplay is genuinely a lot of fun.
