Earn XP and upgrade friendly female warriors' strength after each day survived. Scavenge the depths for clue-yielding mementos to unveil the secret behind Gensokyo's haunting.
The updated version will include songs from the original and Mitama Cards, which unlock characters featuring illustrations by creators like Jin Fujisawa and Wakano Takeda of Story Note Co. There will be a new control scheme designed for controllers or keyboard/mouse.
