The time is the Taishou Era. The protagonist is a high class girl who stifles her true feelings for the sake of her family. By chance she became aware of the existence of "Oni" because of a series of strange murder incidents. One day she was attacked by a "Stray Oni" that had lost all reason and was saved by a man named Kusaka. There she became aware of the fact that she had the qualities of a "Master". From then on her life completely changed as she enrolled into Seiryouin, a school where Oni's and their Masters make contracts and learn together. While getting used to her new environment the protagonist learns that the strange murder incidents are the work of Stray Oni's and makes the decision to fight back together with her partner.

Play Taishou Kitan on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Taishou Kitan on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.

Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.

Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).
