Under Heaven Or Hell [DEMO]
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
YOUR ARRIVAL IN HELL WAS NOT AN ACCIDENT. IT WAS THE BEGINNING OF EVERYTHING CHANGING.
You wake up in Hell with no memory of how you got there, and no clear way out.
To return home, you will have to survive the brutal politics of this realm and forge alliances with two dangerous devils and an enigmatic angel, each with their own secrets, and temptations that may pull you closer.
Will you escape with your soul intact, or will your path become forever tied to those who linger within the flames?
Your choices will shape your fate, and perhaps, the fate of Hell itself.
Characters

CAELUM ♱ THE GUARDIAN ANGEL
He fell from Heaven to follow you into the depths of Hell to rescue your soul from a place he believes you were never meant to be.
He has watched over you since your very first life, guiding your soul through countless rebirth cycles across the centuries.

AZARA ♱ THE CURIOUS TEMPTRESS
Azara is the first face to greet you in Hell, a devil wrapped in allure and secrets.
Her playful confidence hides a restless curiosity she should keep in check.
Born of privilege she no longer claims, she masks her true self behind teasing smiles and eyes that seem to know more than they reveal.

MALIK ♱ THE FOLLOWING SHADOW
Malik is a dangerous devil forged from shadows and scars, his inner wounds far deeper than the ones that mark his body.
Tasked with keeping you under the Council’s watch, he follows your every move, his presence as unsettling as it is protective.
In time, his darkness may feel less like a threat… and more like shelter.
Bonus Character

ZANE ♱ THE CHEEKY GUARD
Zane is a guard you’ll find patrolling the palace halls, though he’s far more interested in teasing than working.
Charming, reckless, and dangerously flirty.
He has a talent for finding trouble and dragging others right into it with him.
No one can tie him down… unless, of course, we’re talking about the kind of chains he enjoys.
Demo Features
The demo features Act 1 of Under Heaven Or Hell.
♱ CHOOSE YOUR MC ♱
In Under Heaven Or Hell you can choose the Main Character’s name and pick one of three skin tone options to best represent you.
The look you choose will be reflected in all the CGs, making every scene feel more personal and connected to you.
♱ CODEX SYSTEM ♱
The realm of Hell is filled with ancient secrets, buried truths, and forgotten stories. There’s always more to uncover, and even more to understand. Only through multiple playthroughs you will piece together the full Codex and unveil everything hidden within.
♱ INTERACTIVE MAP ♱
Different scenes take place in different locations, and you will not only have to choose what to say, but also where to go and who to seek. Opening one door closes another.
What will your path be?
♱ INTERACTIVE SCENES ♱
At times you will be able to interact with the world around you, either to learn more about it or to progress the story. Some of these interactions are subtle, while others may ask you to explore, observe, or engage with your surroundings in small but meaningful ways.
♱ GALLERY ♱
You will find many beautifully illustrated CGs that highlight the world of Under Heaven Or Hell and its characters, as well as 7 additional animated cutscenes that capture key moments of the story, immersing you fully in our world.
Unlocking every gallery image requires multiple playthroughs, revealing new moments and hidden details each time.
Full Game Features
♱ AFFINITY SYSTEM ♱
Your relationships matter. As your affinity rises, you’ll unlock new choices and scenes that reflect the depth of your connections, revealing sides of each character that they share only with those they truly trust.
♱ MULTIPLE ENDINGS ♱
Under Heaven Or Hell features multiple endings. Some lead to salvation and others to damnation, not only for you but also for those whose destinies intertwine with yours. Choose what you will become, but be aware: the schemes of Hell are intricate and may entangle you in a web of deceit!

Will there be an option to buy this VN on Itch? it's just, I'm not sure I trust Steam and I would like to own a copy of this VN, rather than Steam dictating whether I can have it or not.
Absolutely! The game will be published on both platforms.
Thank you very much. I look forward to the full VN. :)
Thanks! 🫶
hi! is mc female or gender-neutral?
hiya! MC is a female protagonist
azara was my bisexual reawakening she is so fine oh my god
also, i just wanted to point out she looks very similar to vere from touchstarved and actually i think theyd get along really well too lols
They would be so chaotic omg
Glad we could be of service! 🫡
Take care of Caelum plz …
We will 🫶❤️
Just finished the demo and it left me in bittersweet. Love to see our beloved angel suffers while wishing he could be protected T T Absolutely dying from waiting for updates.
If I may ask is there going to be a feature for romancing more than one characters ? Find it hard to choose from Caelum and Azara (my girl!!)
I would also love to give this demo a Chinese translation with your permission, if you're open to the idea!
Unfortunately no, I'm afraid you will have to choose 😬
and a third love interest will come into the mix in the full game too ❤️🔥
Also, sorry I completely missed your Chinese translation offer in my first reply!
We will be looking into localising the game in the future when the game is complete, and we'll likely put out a call for translators/applications on our socials when the time comes, so please stay tuned!
Thank you so much for the offer! ❤️
That’s thrilling to hear! I’m so excited for the full game! I will definitely stay tuned and keep an eye out for updates. Wish you all the best with development! (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧ 🎉
Alguna vez estará para Android???
Hi!
We're not planning to port the game to mobile just yet, but it's something we will take into consideration for the future ☺️
I can't wait to buy! The art is absolutely beautiful. Seeing what happened to caelum at the end made my heart ache. ദ്ദി ༎ຶ‿༎ຶ ) 10/10!!
Thank you so much!
We're glad you liked the first episode ❤️ Don't worry, we're taking good care of Caelum ❤️
Can you only play as fem characters?
Hi, in this game yes. However, for future titles, we’re planning to include both feminine and masculine looks, along with selectable pronouns.
Seeing this made me very excited ^_^ I'm more ecstatic to play the game now!!
Hiya, I love the look of this game!! If you're looking for a composer, I'd love to be involved. My website is https://samanthabirdmusic.com which has some of my music and ways to get in touch if you want ☺️
You should post about the kickstarter on r/otomegames! :)
Thanks for the suggestion! ❤️
I would love to write the music for this game if the slot is open :) I have a lot of experience with many genres and AA Games ! @KashdanMusic is my Twitter
Hello, I apologize if this has been answered before but will the full release of the game have a price? :D Thanks! I look forward to future updates.
Hi! Yes, the full version of the game will be available for purchase both on Steam and here on itch.io! ☺️
I really love this game so far and the art style is GORGEOUS but oh my god when I saw what happened to Caelum I started bawling 💔 he's part of the reason I played the demo because he's so pretty
We're glad you loved the first act of the game! And we hope you'll play the full version too 💜 (You'll get a lot more of Caelum, pinky promise!)
Bro, let me tell you something, I CRIED.{Spoiler!} When I saw caelum lying there on a pool of blood, pouring from his wounded back. I freaking cried. my poor angel, anyways I LOVEEE the artstyle:3
We are very committed to bringing emotional damage 💀
He's ok(ish) though, don't worry ... or is he? 😈
Oh lord. PLEASE LET HIM HAVE A GOOD OR HAPPY ENDING.
That might depend on you 👀
Sorry for the question! Will it be possible to play as the MC in the full version without a specific appearance, as it is now in the demo version?
HI Alisa!
In the new demo and in the full version of the game the player will be picking the appearance of MC.
However MC's appearance will be reflected in the CGs only, and will not be seen throughout the game.
ahh!! This was really good and the art was beautiful ^^ I was wondering when the new LI would appear because i read you have a new ver of ep 1 coming out in January so i was js wondering cause his design has really caught my attention lolololol
Hi! Thank you so much ❤️ yes, we are dropping the updated demo also on Steam in early Jan! The third love interest though will appear in the full game, a bit later in the story! But we assure you he's worth the wait! 👀
I see devil wings in the silouhette and I immediately need to know more 😭 I can't wait to play the whole epppppp 😩💙 Keep 'em coming PLEASE
The new devil is going to be 🫦 just saying!
This is so exciting to play and I am so invested!! would love to see more. The visuals are bomb
Thank you so much ❤️🔥 and sorry for the late reply, but itch had hidden the comment for some reason 😭
Ahhh I am in love with the animations, it is so artistic and beautiful, even if the last one hurts so much...
The environment is really original! I never saw Hell depicted like that, it is pleasing to the eye, yet uncanny and eerie.
The sprites are gorgeous, especially my man Caelum, he is so sweet and devoted T_T
The lore and plot is intriguing and I thank you for the Codex, it helps a lot keep track of everything.
I can't wait for the rest ^^
Thank you so much!
We're so happy you enjoyed the demo! 💜
We're working on improving the Codex even further! If you have any feedback, please feel free to reach out!
P.S. Caelum is a good boy, he'll be fine... eventually... maybe 😈👀
Very impressive demo. I really enjoyed it.
Thank you so much 💜 We're very glad you did!
I love Caelum...i need to save him...
He must be protected 💙
Apologies for not writing my review here sooner and just spamming your Bluesky instead lol
I just wanted to say this game is great so far, from the story to the art and even the UI. I really enjoy the character interactions and personalities (especially Zane!) That cliffhanger in the demo was seriously cruel though… I NEED TO KNOW MORE!!
Thank you so much ❤️ dw you'll get more Zane 👀 ... and more cliffhangers too 😂
I am loving the game so far, and the writing is so engaging! I love the little jokes here and there.
I can't wait for the next chapter, it will be hard to choose who to romance! 😭
Thanks a lot ❤️ Azara is our sassy queen 💅
Please, let me romance Zane 😍 can't wait to play all the story!
Maybe he will be romanceable? No strings attached? Full romance? Who knows! 👀
вау, caelum шикарно выглядит
💙💙💙
Loving it so far! Caelum is my baby fr
Thank you so much 🫶 💙
love the game so far! IT SO GOOD but i do have a question will you guys ever consider a pronoun system in the game? totally understandable if not as this is more of a preference. Love my boi Caelum :3
Thank you so much! Caelum needs some love 😭💙 About the pronouns system, it's something that, unfortunately, we won't be adding to this game specifically, but we plan to add it in the future games 100% 💙
This is so good! Can't wait for more
Thank you so much! We're glad you enjoyed the demo! 🫶
