This setup includes no gender or pronoun customization, no body-type options, and no romance system whatsoever. Supporting characters such as Yuko Takao, Chiaki Hayasaka, and Isamu Nitta function strictly as vehicles for the story's alignment choices in the Vortex World, without any identity politics or social justice framing layered onto their roles or backstories. The game's philosophical core draws from traditional alignments and Nietzschean concepts rather than contemporary activism, as players navigate the Reasons of Shijima's stillness, Yosuga's strength-based hierarchy, or Musubi's enforced isolation, or pursue demon paths and freedom instead.

Released in 2004, the title predates DEI consulting and activist localization practices, with no developer statements promoting inclusion mandates. This results in a pure focus on mythological survival and moral philosophy that avoids any modern political overlay.
