The sixth presentation of the ZUN production Touhou project, presented at C62 in the summer of August 11, 2002.

1. Prologue

In the summer of the 118th season, there occurred an incident called the Scarlet Mist Incident (紅霧異変). Gensokyo was entirely covered in this mist, and since the sun was obstructed, it became a gloomy and chilly summer. Since this strange mist even reached the human village of Gensokyo, and since humans are not typically able to withstand 30 minutes of the strange mist, the humans of the village were not able to exit from their homes for several days until the incident was resolved. Reimu Hakurei, a shrine maiden working at the Hakurei Shrine, felt that it was her duty as a shrine maiden to find the cause of this unnatural weather. Marisa Kirisame, a black-clothed magician, hoped that the person responsible for the mist would have some interesting items to collect.

The heroines found their way to the Scarlet Devil Mansion (紅魔館) in the middle of Misty Lake (霧の湖), where its residents tried to stop the intruders from reaching the lord of the mansion. The source of the mist is revealed to be final boss Remilia Scarlet, a vampire. Remilia reveals that the scarlet mist was created to block out the sun so that she could feel comfortable during the day (because vampires are weak against the sun). After a fierce battle, Remilia is defeated and things return to relative normality in Gensokyo. The Scarlet Mist Incident is the first time the spell card rules were used, which popularized their use throughout Gensokyo, and battles from then on also used the spell card rules.

In the Extra Mode, the heroines returned to the Scarlet Devil Mansion during Remilia's absence and found the entire household in chaos. Remilia's younger sister, Flandre Scarlet, was on the loose, while Patchouli Knowledge, the library witch, was trying to keep her from escaping. Meeting the heroines after 495 years of being locked in the basement, Flandre asked that they would play with her, but the heroines defeated her.

2. Basic information

'The embodiment of Scarlet Devil' is the first Windows version game of the Touhou Project series, and it is the boundary between the old and the new.

It's a Touhou project, but a lot of enemies and western style in the background is a kind of gag intended by ZUN.

3. characteristic

As a subtitle of '20th Century Extended Shooting Game of the 21st Century, Th6 is in the most unique position in the previous series. Not only does it have the old pc-98 element, but also the game have the characteristic of the new series.

And if you play in Easy Mode, you won't be able to go to Stage 6. This situation is a big feature only in Touhou Koumakyou.

Also, this is the last series of the no boss's location and no hit box in low speed mode.

Before Touhou Chireiden ~ Subterranean Animism, it was one of the most difficult Touhou projects.

Unlike the later Touhou project, the boss battle has no pattern-based attacks. Therefore, best to follow the boss and attack.

This game is known as a remake of Touhou Gensoukyou ~ Lotus Land Story Because, Touhou has a player rank system. When a player does not take long- term damage or exceeds a set score, The difficulty will be very high. This is similar to Gensoukyou ~ Lotus Land Story

The music is relatively dark and the sound quality is poor. Because it is not organized compared to other series of WAV files

6. Fandom

One of the most popular series within the Touhou project

If Thos is a feature that distinguishes it from other works, the detailed backstory or setting of the characters is almost unknown.

So people make most of the configuration using an omeke file.

Accordingly, Cirno is made of a single spell card, and Hong Meiling is made of barrage.

In addition, 'the only Western style of the new works', 'it's easy to make a personality and position of the character because there are few original works themselves', 'appeals with settings like those commonly seen in other works', It is also popular for a variety of reasons.

In fact, in the THWiki Popularity Poll, both music and characters have the highest rankings.
