Evaluation
The Reject Demon: Toko Chapter 0 — Prelude launched on May 8, 2015 as the first installment of a planned 4-chapter visual novel series. The store description explicitly states the full story will be told "over the course of 4 Chapters," meaning this release was always intended as a prologue, not a complete product.
Over the years, Lupiesoft shipped meaningful updates to Chapter 0 itself: a major "Remix" overhaul on December 11, 2017 with new art, music, writing, and Japanese localization, plus a voice acting DLC the same day. However, Chapters 1 through 3 — the continuation of the story — have never been released.
Developer posts from February 2016 and November 2016 outlined plans for the remaining chapters. In February 2018, a studio post stated that after completing Dizzy Hearts, they would "go full speed ahead on The Reject Demon: Toko ch1." Then on June 28, 2019, the developer posted directly about this game, confirming "the project is very much alive" and promising to reveal details about the story's continuation "this summer." That post is the last known official communication from Lupiesoft about Toko. No summer 2019 reveal ever came, no Chapter 1 has been released, and there have been no further developer updates of any kind since June 28, 2019 — nearly seven years of silence.
The promised continuation of a multi-chapter story remains undelivered, and the developer has gone silent well beyond any reasonable expectation of continued communication. Anyone playing Chapter 0 today should be aware that the story has no confirmed path to completion.

About this game
When a human is destined to die, the demons ferry their souls to the afterlife. ‘The Reject Demon: Toko’ is the story of Toko herself, a demon who has been kicked out of hell. Toko cannot ferry human souls to the underworld, and every day she stays on earth has her becoming increasingly human. Her troubles, however, are only just beginning.
Toko, after being taken in by the jubilant human Nadia, is being hunted by her past alongside her own internal challenges. The Reject Demon: Toko is about comedy, action, romance, and Hell’s sacred art of Rock n’ Roll!
Originally conceived during a game jam in early 2014, ‘The Reject Demon: Toko’ has since exploded, and there’s so much more of this universe to show you. Now we are planning to release the full story of the Toko Kinetic Visual Novel, over the course of 4 Chapters, starting with Chapter 0; it features much improved art, a much bigger cast, new scenes, and a whole new conclusion that doubles the length of the original story!
