Makai (魔界, or Demon World) is a world that exists in essentially an alternate dimension to Gensokyo. Not to be confused with Hell as referenced in Highly Responsive to Prayers and Phantasmagoria of Flower View, or Former Hell, from Subterranean Animism.
General Information
Geography and People
The entrance to Makai is located in a cave in the mountains near the Hakurei Shrine. Makai itself is a land with a harsh and unearthly nature that makes it difficult to survive in, but youkai and some humans live and/or train their powers here regardless. It is filled with a toxic miasma which is physically harmful, but strengthens magical spells and seals, and can also make learning magic easier for a human.[Ref. Needed]
Much of Makai's terrain is a deep red color, but there are also extensive fields of crystalline forests and frozen fields.
Story
Most of the events of Highly Responsive to Prayers occurred in Makai when Reimu Hakurei discovered a portal that had opened in her shrine. Almost the entirety of Mystic Square happened in Makai, as well, and in the last two stages of Undefined Fantastic Object, the heroine travels to Hokkai via the Palanquin Ship captained by Minamitsu Murasa. It's unknown if the last two stages of Story of Eastern Wonderland take place in Makai.
Sub-Locations
There's a number of settelments within Makai.
Ruins of Vina
- The Ruins of Vina is only seen in Makai route stages 10~15 of Highly Responsive to Prayers. Reimu encounters Elis here on the fifteenth stage. Nothing else is known about this place other than its name, which is listed in the results screen after beating the game.
Pandæmonium
- Pandæmonium is the fortress of Shinki, the creator of Makai, named in Mystic Square's manual. It seems to be constructed from a sort of crystalline material. The player visits the fortress in the final stage of the game.
Wonderland
- During the Extra Stage of Mystic Square, the heroines enter into a kind of wonderland, presumably created by Alice Margatroid. It is implied that it exists within Makai.
Hokkai
- Not much is actually known about Hokkai (法界). The heroine travels there in Stage 6 of Undefined Fantastic Object. The entire region appears to have been sealed, along with the monk Byakuren Hijiri. Minamitsu Murasa describes it as tucked away in "a corner of Makai".
Additional Information
Trivia
- Makai made its first post-PC-98-era appearance in Undefined Fantastic Object, but none of its known residents were seen during the game.
- Makai was once again referred to in Symposium of Post-mysticism.
