Touhou Chouhatsuyou ~ Burgeoning Tresses of Longevity

A mysterious scent has caused everyone’s hair to grow haywire…

An experiment in Gensokyo went disastrously wrong for a few individuals. A mysterious scent has caused every woman’s hair to grow to the height of their body. Some of the victims who are fine with their old hair now look unpleasant to themselves.

Based on an original screenplay and featuring an original score written by Susumu Takajima, you take control of one of the victims out of a selection of four to find the person who conducted the experiment. You will have to take your super long hair across six stages to find the scent’s origin so you can restore it to normal. You can tackle it alone or with a friend.* The weight of your hair will make it challenging to defeat your enemies’ danmaku and their spell cards.

*Additional accessories may be required for local multiplayer modes.

Features:

  • Four playable characters spanning different backgrounds
  • Four difficulty modes with different spell cards
  • A six-stage main game plus a post-game extra stage
  • A series of original characters created by Susumu Takajima to fight against
  • 1990s-style musical score by Susumu Takajima
  • Controller support
