"Touhou Kikeijuu~ Wily Beast and Weakest Creature."

*This game contains scenes with extreme bullet hell.
Children and anyone allergic to bullet hell are advised to you know what.

[Overview]
Avoid enemy bullets, while trying to shoot them down.
By defeating the last boss of each stage, you complete that stage!
Use your technique and memory to your advantage and challenge with short-term battles.

[Story]
The river sticks.
A desolate place with different sized rocks scattered all over.
Here children who passed away young are cast with a job to pile rocks.
Not the most riveting place to be.

Reimu "I guess there's no avoiding passing through here to get to hell."

The beast spirit accompanying her doesn't say a word.

"Why don't you say something?"

Once the beast spirit possessed itself on to Reimu, it didn't speak at all.

Reimu "Fine. I guess I'll find everything out when I get there."

One after another, beast spirits were arriving from the depth of hell crossing the river sticks.
The beast spirits seem to be plotting on taking over Gensokyo with sheer power.
The beast spirit possessing Reimu originally is an animal spirit from Gensokyo and a traitor to animal spirits in hell. It intends to go back to hell with a human to stop the spirits from invading Gensokyo.

There's no telling if the beast spirit is lying or not. But the beast spirits coming to invade Gensokyo remains a fact.
Reimu decides to borrow the beast spirit's power to visit hell.
