Second part of the ''Third era'' of Touhou Project, this time Reimu and Marisa have to investigate incidents regarding spirits coming out of a geyser by going to the depths of the very hell itself.

This is my favorite Touhou Project game not counting spin-offs or fangames, gameplay is derivated from Mountain of Faith with 3 shots among the 2 playable characters but with the twist that we are gonna be having an specific partner which changes dialogues against bosses, endings and also changes the patterns against the Stage 4 boss.

Music is so on point, I could say this is my second favorite music in the entire series (Barely beaten by Imperishable Night) Stages 2 and 4 soundtrack are so good.

This is also my favorite cast in the entire series, from Yamame to Okuu and Orin, some youkais have actually really interesting backstory, specially Parsee and Satori.

Oh yeah, and this game is actually a sequel to Mountain of Faith, in the EXTRA stage you get more details on this :)

Tho, this game is also one of the most punishing and hardest in the entire series, I think it took me at least 20 game overs to get that sweet 1cc on Normal, feel no remorse to play this game on Easy.
