Labyrinth of Touhou

About

Labyrinth of Touhou is a dungeon-crawling RPG built around top-down exploration and turn-based combat. You lead a roster of familiar Touhou characters like Reimu Hakurei and Remilia Scarlet through procedurally generated levels filled with traps, enemies, and loot. Progress depends on managing party members’ abilities and equipping gear found in each floor. The game leans into classic dungeon-crawler mechanics like mapping and resource management while weaving in humor and lore from the Touhou Project series. The game stands out for its dense integration of series-specific jokes and cameos, alongside nods to other RPGs and bullet-hell shooters. Though released over a decade ago, it remains a niche favorite among fans for its depth and reverence for source material. A sequel followed shortly after, but the original still holds a steady place in community discussions for its challenging gameplay and dedication to the franchise.

Storyline

After an extended stay at the Scarlet Devil Mansion, Reimu Hakurei has failed to notice that the boundary between Gensokyo and the outside world has begun to fall apart, and only realizes it when a huge rift in space opens above them. Accompanied by Marisa Kirisame, Remilia Scarlet, Sakuya Izayoi and Patchouli Knowledge, she begrudgingly goes to explore the mysterious dimensional rift so that she may continue lazing around without distractions.
