As a Touhou doujin STG game, the fact that your character cannot shoot bullets might feel unusual at first. Please follow the game's guidance to familiarize yourself with its controls and rules, and gradually develop your own scoring route. I hope you discover the fun of this game while planning your moves.

【Game Content and Features】

Fulfill your duty as a gatekeeper by repelling enemies trying to enter the Scarlet Devil Mansion amidst bullet hell, and be careful not to anger your boss.

Compared to the classic STG's three-life system, this game features a less punishing hit mechanic: when your character is hit, they will only be temporarily immobilized, with no life limit. If you prefer, you can enable "Invulnerability" in the [Options] -> [Others] menu to permanently remove the threat of bullets.

The default controls use WSAD and JKL keys, but you can easily switch to the traditional Touhou control scheme (arrow keys and ZXC) in the settings.

You can adjust your character's movement speed to your preference.
