Sentimental Graffiti

A late-90s Saturn dating sim with iconic Inomata character designs, fondly remembered by import fans.
Released1998
Sega Saturn

Sentimental Graffiti is a dating simulation game originally released for the Sega Saturn in 1998. Developed and published by NEC Interchannel, the game follows a protagonist returning to his hometown and reconnecting with twelve heroines across Japan, blending visual novel storytelling with relationship management mechanics. The title was notable for its striking character designs by Mutsumi Inomata, known for her work on the Tales series, and for its ambitious cross-media promotion, which included drama CDs, a radio show, and an anime OVA.

Set against a contemporary Japanese backdrop, the game's structure involved traveling to different cities, managing a limited time frame, and navigating branching dialogue paths to build affection with each character. While it never received an official English release, Sentimental Graffiti developed a cult following among import enthusiasts and Saturn collectors for its polished presentation and memorable soundtrack.

In June 2026, Entergram announced Sentimental Graffiti Re, a full remake of the game. The project's initial cast reveal and audition notice confirmed that the game is in active production. Platforms and a release window were not disclosed.
