Cute little Rumia on her way to save all yokai, with a bunch of humans as collateral damage.

SO this game.... It is a fairly good game for when. We play this game with friend. And yes. What a journey. Dark shikagamgi. Light shikagommoga... It was a great experiences. The exorcists were very interesting enemy and we had a lot of fun trying to get around shikagami. Thanks you. Special shouts out into pear potion for making this possible. We love you. Don't not maybe not yes not buy this. Buy Pear Potion and have a drinks.

WELL THEN
Yet another super-cheap Touhou fangame from Dark Sky Empire. Loooovely.
But seriously though. This game is a small adventure-stealth-action game which will caress your brain slightly in some places, but isn't really hard. Also, you should clear it in a few hours. Although the English in this game is admittedly spotty, the (dark) humour of the game still kinda works, even if it isn't really comedy gold. Just a tip: do be thorough with doing and checking everything you can before proceeding to next screens. Basically, eat all humans you can (although there will be some humans visible on screens which won't be reachable whatever you do)
The cons for me is the possibility of getting into an unwinnable situation (that's because you can't ever go back to previous screens), which will happen if you won't eat all humans you can, and the last sections of the game, which are just avoid-fests, which can be somewhat frustrating, considering that fully powered-up Rumia is quite fast, and the game, being based on RPG Maker, has tile-based movement, so you WILL, quite a few times, fumble into death.
also, the royalty-free music assets, while their use is understandable, is still a bit underwhelming for a Touhou game.
Definitely had more fun with it than with the Marisa Adventure.

It is basically a puzzle game. It's not bad if you like that. There are many ninja who can see you and if you enter their vision it will be a game over. You clear each screen which is a part of the city, and the screens get harder.
I thought it was going to have more humor and more story, so it's not my favorite for that. But if you like puzzles it's pretty fun to get to the end.
If I only had $1 to spend, and I could get an iPhone game about tapping black and white boxes really fast OR this, I'd probably get this.
Have some video I made of the intro. I don't know what the developer uses for video capture but their frame rate is horrible. This is better. Sorry if I read some text too fast.

"Is that so?"
"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
I'd have preferred more of that and less of action/adventure game mechanics. That scene made me laugh.

The game is suppose to be good, but the section where all the Shikigami is has a massive problem.
I do not know if it's because of a bug or if I'm stupid, but it's impossible to kill every ninja (assuming yokai exterminators) because one of them is behind one of the shikigami that you cannot kill.
The basic premise of this game is that it's a reverse horror puzzle game. If you miss one step in a level and go to the next level and find out you must of missed something, you either load up a save fail to where you were before the mess up or start all over.
You play as Rumia, the yokai of darkness from the Touhou Project series. This character devours humans, that's her schtick.
Eat humans, get upgrades for doing so, don't get caught, as this game is also a stealth game.
Back to the level with the Shikigami.
Once you devour each human that is possible, your are able to enter this level. You find out that they have already summoned Shikigamis. They work as a moving wall that kills you, interacting with them kills you too.
Your lucky to get the ability to be invisible to everyone and the game (Rumia) claims that you either avoid the Shikigami entirely or kill the summoner. Killing the summoner seems impossible as they are on a platform that you cannot reach and the platform is Shikigami infested.
So going with the option of just avoiding the Shikigami seems like the only option..... but you read the beginning of this review.
The is a one tile wide and about 8 tiles long pathway. You enter from the right, this pathway is at the top left of the level.
Both a ninja and a Shikigami patrol it, however the shikigami is blocking the ninja.... making it the only mob left and unable to be killed....
Other than the Shikigami, there is nothing I was able to interact with. The barricade? Nah, doesn't work. Find a way to get to the summoner? You'll need luck for that, and you would have to annoyingly go through the start of the level each time you fail.
I do not know what is wrong here nor do I know what is the solution, the game was good until that point in where it's unsolvable. I'll keep looking to find the answer but unless someone can tell me or I accidentally figure it out, I will not recommend this game.
