About

The Switch and Steam versions contain a number of enhanced features compared to the original, such as HD remastered graphics, newly added dialogues, and English language support. Fans of the original game and Touhou Project can’t also miss full Japanese voice over that will be added in the new versions.
Gensokyo faces sudden disturbance as the “Scarlet Mist” spreads once again.
To Reimu Hakurei, this peculiar phenomenon resembled something familiar.
“Is this that vampire’s doing?” she thought to herself.
There was only one choice: head to the Scarlet Devil Mansion, and find out the true cause of the disturbance.
…but this time, the way to the mansion was a little different from usual.
Key Features
