TOKYO – August 7, 2023.
The Tokyo-based (Japan) indie games publisher Alliance Arts and indie games developer Unknown X, today announced with great thrill and delight that they are going to release two brand-new “Touhou” game titles (“Touhou Danmaku Kagura Phantasia Lost” and “Touhou Dungeon Maker: The labyrinth of heart“) in 2024 (as revealed at the 2023 edition of the Touhou Matsuri event).

Tap to the tunes of Touhou Project melodies in Touhou Danmaku Kagura Phantasia Lost, the fan-favorite mobile rhythm game coming to Steam for PC on Wednesday, February 7th, 2024, featuring a special collaboration with Toby Fox and currently in development for Nintendo Switch, and fight waves of phantoms in Touhou Dungeon Maker – The Labyrinth of Heart -, a roguelike tower defense dungeon management RPG coming to Steam in 2024.

Touhou Danmaku Kagura Phantasia Lost
Relive the hit mobile rhythm game rebuilt for PC and optimized for keyboard and controller support, and tap to the beat to more than 160 Touhou musical arrangements across four difficulty levels. Embark on a brand new storyline distinct from the mobile release, and restore Phantasia to its former glory while gathering lost memory fragments to unveil the mysterious cause behind its destruction.

Hit notes across six lanes in perfect harmony with favorite tracks in “Kagura Stage” mode, and blast bosses on beat in the all-new “Danmaku Stage” mode adding rhythm and timing to Danmaku shoot ‘em up dynamics. Enjoy free DLC music “U.N. Owen Was Hero?” by famed composer Toby Fox (Undertale, composer) in collaboration with Touhou creator ZUN, and keep fresh Touhou rhythms in rotation with additional songs available via DLC song packs.

Touhou Dungeon Maker – The Labyrinth of Heart –
Mysterious dungeons filled with phantoms have appeared all across Gensokyo, slowly consuming the surface world. Fend off 100 waves of apparitions with six Touhou heroines including Reisen Udongein Inaba, Satori Komeiji, and Hatano Kokoro. Craft the perfect dungeon to guide enemy ghosts into the line of fire. Earn XP and upgrade friendly female warriors’ strength after each day survived. Scavenge the depths for clue-yielding mementos to unveil the secret behind Gensokyo’s haunting.

“It is an honor to introduce a pair of Touhou titles to the world,” says Unknown X. “We are very happy to show the results of Touhou Danmaku Kagura Phantasia Lost’s crowdfunding campaign, and we look forward to sharing more information on both games in the near future.”
