LionWing will run the crowdfunding campaign on BackerKit starting November 3. Two of the three rulebook editions are hardcover and sold only during the ordering window, one of them with painted edges; the third is a softcover intended for retail.
The game is built for up to four players and one game master, and LionWing describes it as mixing cozy slice-of-life storytelling with Danmaku Duels drawn from the series' bullet-hell confrontations. Kadokawa published the Japanese edition in 2023. The 100-page replay session included in the book features ZUN, the Touhou Project creator.
