The game is being developed by the Japanese developer sorehodoh and is an expanded remake of a title that they originally distributed at Comiket85 in Japan back in 2013.
It sees players take control of Sanae Kochiya — one of the recurring characters from Touhou Project who made her first appearance as a boss in the tenth title Mountain of Faith — with the goal being to guide the priestess across a dangerous land filled with Yōkai.
Other features, meanwhile, will include a skill that lets players harness the power of the wind to levitate up to higher places and occasional aerial battles that resemble a sidescrolling shoot 'em up.
On the whole, it looks like a fascinating project, so we'll definitely be keeping an eye on it ahead of launch. If you're eager to support the devs, you can wishlist the game here. A brief demo of the game is currently available to download from the Japanese website Ci-en.
