东方龙华传 - The Gatekeeper of Scarlet's Mansion

In this Touhou doujin STG, you don't attack enemies by shooting bullets. Instead, use punches, fairy maids, and Spell Cards to fulfill gatekeeper's duty. On top of that, learn how to build combos, win a lot of blue points, and experience the exhilarating feeling when they fill the entire screen!

About the Game

  • A Touhou doujin STG game where you play as Hong Meiling, the gatekeeper of the Scarlet Devil Mansion.

  • This game might feel different from other STG games you've played as you can't shoot bullets. Instead, rely on your fists, fairy maids, and powerful Spell Cards to fight.

  • Given this unique mechanic, it's recommended to follow the in-game full tutorial to master the controls, the scoring techniques, and other details (a brief tutorial is also available for players who prefer shorter ones).

  • No life stock limit. As long as the head maid's mood doesn't hit zero, you can't Game Over no matter how many times you get hit.

  • Featuring 40+2 waves of meticulously designed enemies. Each session lasts about 38 minutes.

  • In your first session, get familiar with the game. Second session, unleash your creativity and design a high-scoring route. Third session and beyond, keep refining your strategies. Perfect for players who enjoy planning their own route!

  • If you prefer, you can enable bullet invulnerability in the settings—then no need to overthink, just charge in and attack!
