Touhou Project is a bullet hell shoot ’em up game series created by the ZUN-led development circle Team Shanghai Alice.

■ Story Gensokyo—a remote land isolated from the outside world, where both humans and youkai exist.
One day, the Hakurei Shrine shrine maiden Reimu Hakurei notices “mysterious pillars” that have risen up over various parts of Gensokyo.
