Overview

Prepare to dive into the world of Gensokyo with Touhou Hareiden -Touhou Hareiden-, an upcoming JRPG fan game developed by Eidolon Cageling. Set during the late summer in Gensokyo, a period usually marked by peace and preparation for autumn, the story takes a dramatic turn when mischievous fairies suddenly gain immense power.

These empowered fairies can steal the 'traits' of others, leading to chaos and disruption. Even well-known figures like the magician Marisa Kirisame fall victim, losing her abilities and being driven from her home.

The escalating disturbances prompt the shrine maiden Reimu Hakurei to team up with Marisa, who seeks to reclaim her stolen powers, to resolve this unprecedented incident and restore tranquility to Gensokyo.
