Hifuu Nightmare Diary: Violet Detector. follows Sumireko Usami, the first president of the Secret Sealing Club. She can visit Gensokyo only in her dreams. One Sunday, Reimu Hakurei attacks her for no apparent reason, and Sumireko cannot wake up as the attacks continue. She decides to record the danmaku, but taking a photo wakes her. Afterward, her memories of reality become hazy and she is troubled by recurring nightmares.

Danmaku dreams

Choose a weekday, then a danmaku dream, to start a short stage. Reduce the opponent’s health to zero to clear the scene, but getting hit by an enemy bullet makes you restart it. You must take at least one photo in a scene to clear it, even if you defeat the enemy. You do not need to clear every danmaku dream to see the story; you can move on after clearing only the scenes you can manage.

Taking photos

The photo gauge fills automatically, and you can take a photo when it reaches 100%. Photos erase the bullets they capture, making them essential for dealing with attacks you cannot dodge. Photographing a boss also deals high damage, with more damage when the boss is near the center of the frame.

Hold the photo button to move the focus frame for a limited time. This makes the photo smaller, so getting close to the boss can help you capture it. Hitting a boss with shots makes the gauge recharge slightly faster. Holding slow and photo together charges it faster, but prevents you from firing.

Photo scores

Each photo receives an estimated score based on factors including how many bullets it captures, whether it includes the boss and whether it includes you. Only the highest-scoring photo is recorded, so taking more photos does not add their scores together.
