This game is incredible. The story and atmosphere and so gripping. The graphics and music all fit so well. The story is so good and fits so well within the rest of the lore that I wish it were confirmed true. The cute portraits contrast well with the rest of the visuals.

Hijiri started protecting yokai for selfish reasons, but she ended up taking pity on them; which humans rejected, so she was sealed in Makai because of being "demon in human form". This game explains many things in a great way, such as: who Shinki is, who Yumeko is and why she looks like a maid, what happened to Byakuren while being sealed, why Byakuren's scroll is limitless and won't deteriorate over time, who pc98 Alice is and why she's a completely different person now.
I especially like how, after so much time being chained on the same place, we, the player, also enjoy anything special thrown at us, like the illusion of pandaemonium

I loved my time with the game. Beautiful ending. 10/10

I've never been credited as kikoro before, so that's new. (opening credits)

Anyway, I couldnt make it past the forgive/dont forgive screen. Shinki's theme failed to load and kept stopping gameplay to ask to attempt to reload it. Couldn't even see the fairy I worked on ;-;

    This VN-type game has an incredibly fascinating atmosphere! Byakuren's story in Makai seems to be a rarely explored concept, so it's very interesting to see how it's visualized this way.

    The gameplay bits proper are simple and do what they need to, despite the currently awkward dodging minigame. The biggest issue is the extremely low default sensitivity of the mouse, but the Q and E buttons make up for it.

    The visuals are presented excellently! The 3D models do what they need to and they do it well - as do the dialogue boxes and well-fitting music. You've found a really good formula with these!

    My favorite part of the visuals is the cute portraits and character art. （＾∇＾）

    The writing brings everything together as well. Every character has a lot of personally and is integrated well into a good image of what Makai is like over time. Overall, I can tell that a lot of care is being put into the story.

    The jam's theme is also implemented amazingly into the writing. Yumeko's part was of particular interest to me because it explores what seems to be a less common facet of the theme in a very natural way - especially when juxtaposed with others in the story.

    In any case, this is an excellent read so far, with numerous choices to go through! I'm looking forward to seeing how this develops!

The power of yuri can outshine hell.

This games story is great, the relationship byakuren and shinki have is griping and at the end I was genially invested. The thing that makes this relationship so great is that the game takes time to make both sides feel like real people with their own flaws and pros or at least what I felt while reading.

However.... I will say I do not like the 3d models and the demon dodging parts feel like filler, but the story more then makes up for it.

I was hooked from the very beginning and I can't wait to play the full release. The atmosphere and the 3D assets are somewhat dark and uncanny but they set the mood so well >.<!!!  The characters from Undefined Fantastic Object are among my favorites and seeing the story of Byakuren like this combined with Makai with so much fondness and uniqueness makes me very very happy.

My Favorite Part: How simple it is, yet... how captivating it is. I adore every second of it. I played on the browser so I got to make sure not lose my save states

What impressed me the most about this story was the grasp you had on writing Byakuren. Everything felt exactly right in how she carried herself and how she talked to other people. I got the sense that if she asked to be released early, Shinki wouldn't hesitate to do so. But, that's not who Byakuren is. She knows things happen for a reason, and is content waiting things out over centuries. I can't wait to play the full release.
