Get Touhou: Fading Illusion for PC

Touhou: Fading Illusion is a visual novel set in the Touhou Project universe. You follow Reimu as she investigates a threat to the Hakurei Barrier, meeting characters and visiting places across Gensokyo and beyond.

Story

After ages of human curiosity gave rise to youkai, humans and youkai found a way to coexist peacefully. In the Outside World, technology advances rapidly, while Gensokyo’s sages grow more confident in their power. They do not realize that something deep and dense may be beyond even their reach, and its emergence seems increasingly like a matter of time.

Reimu’s spring rest at her shrine is interrupted when Yukari appears with an urgent task: Reimu must follow Sumireko at the festival at Myouren Temple. The matter involves the Hakurei Barrier, so Reimu goes to the temple, hoping Yukari will explain what is happening that evening.

Choices and chapters

The plot is non-linear, with choices that can significantly change its course. The available story includes the Prologue, the first three days of the Destitute Chapter and the first day of the Underworld Chapter, for about 10–15 hours of reading.

The Touhou world

You travel through the Former Hell, the Netherworld, different parts of Gensokyo and the Outside World, encountering over 50 characters from the Touhou Project series. A brief introduction in the free Prologue and an in-game dictionary provide context for readers new to the series.
