Touhou Project 16.5 「Secret Sealing Nightmare Diary ～ Violet Detector」
Popcioslav:
My accurate reaction to this whole announcement:
...and it's been like this for a day now.
So yeah, I imagine Sumireko starting off in a dream world must be related to her campaign in AoCF. I kind of suspect Doremy at least getting a stage of her own and I'm also curious if we're going to meet Sumireko's dream clone again. I mean ZUN wouldn't have to even make a new art for this, it kind of fits. The actual artwork for VD is pretty good, probably the best ZUN art since a long while imo.
Also I'm sorry for asking, but I haven't seen anyone actually tell me or translate what Sumi says to Reimu in the picture where they're in Dream World location, what does she say there?
I've seen someone say that ZUN mentioned this game's story despite the cheery and goofy theme might be a bit more on the tragic side... now I'm super curious.
Overall I'm pretty happy and still shocked about this announcement

I think something along the lines of "If you can't escape, just have fun, right?"
Anyone more skilled, feel free to pitch in.
"どうせ抜け出せないんなら楽しんでやろよ"
PK:
After ISC, another spinoff with no "Touhou" in the title. I wonder if there's any meaning behind it.
Drake:
Well there a bunch of those now, it isn't too surprising. Double Spoiler and Fairy Wars swap them to the secondary titles (both of which due to them being based on those namesake works), all of the music CDs don't have them, Grimoire of Marisa doesn't... if anything the main connection is that they're all kind of character-specific side works. There aren't really any hard rules with ZUN so it isn't like side stories would be expected to do it though.
Kanade:
Would've preferred if it was 17th installment but yeah, another photo shooting game is not bad I guess.
