Evaluation
Akatori: Chapter One was a free prologue/demo for the full game Akatori, released on April 19, 2024. On July 30, 2024, the developer announced that the prologue would be closing on August 13, 2024, explaining that they were preparing to launch an updated demo on the main game's Steam page instead. The store listing now shows no purchase options available, confirming the game has been removed from the storefront and can no longer be acquired by new players. This was an intentional delisting — not a sign of development trouble — as the developer explicitly stated the closure was part of their transition to a new demo format tied to the main Akatori game page. Existing owners can still access it in their Steam library.

Akatori: Сhapter One is an intense metroidvania with action platformer elements and a compelling introduction to the grand adventure awaiting you in Akatori. Take on the role of the young monk, Mako, as you learn where the game’s story begins and encounter the inhabitants of the Land of the Emerald Peaks, inspired by the Industrial Revolution's East Asia. Join her on an ill-fated expedition to the divine realm of Kohakujō, setting the stage for the epic journey of Mako and her newfound red bird companion.
But the bird isn't just a bird, it's also a staff that can be thrown and used as a weapon or platforming tool. Get ready to fight, jump and thoroughly explore your surroundings to challenge a truly mighty opponent at the end!
