Now for the fun part.
Hello. I'm VYCM from Analogue Reverie, which you may or may not know as the team currently bringing you
東方封魔再録 ~ The Return of Eastern Wonderland, headed by WishMakers.
東方実在相 ~ Dream Logical World is a project of my own that other members of AR have also graciously contributed their talent to. It's a mostly-standard Touhou STG, but we've added some new elements we hope will make for a unique experience.
StoryOne day, the denizens of Gensokyo realize their reality is different. Trees have diamonds on them. Dirt paths are now made of fancy glass. The distances between landmarks have changed. The Hakurei Shrine, instead of being desolate, is now regularly visited by worshipers. And perhaps most disturbing of all, even people's personalities seem to have changed. What's more, it seems that reality has been this way for quite a while and no one noticed it. Everyone's minds simply accepted that this was now reality - as if they were dreaming and their minds convinced them that what was happening in the dream was real. Only remembering the past and finding points of contradiction where things don't make sense allows them to determine what reality "should" look like. In this urgent situation, a large cast of playable characters and quite a few unlikely partnerships assemble to uncover the truth...
GameplayIn DLW, you'll control a pair of characters IN-style on your journey to solve the mystery of the dream logic. Shown in the trailer/screenshots are Reimu and Kasen, along with Marisa (whose partner wasn't shown, but it's Yuuka). There are more playables that will kept a secret until the trial release.
This time around, the girls have taken advantage of the unstable nature of reality and crafted special spell cards called "Aspect Shifts", which you'll use as your bombs. Rather than directly damaging enemies, these spell cards break reality to give you special effects you can use to your advantage. Temporary invincibility, a shot range covering half the screen, auto-collecting items, a gradual increase in your shot strength, you name it. Grazing and collecting items will extend the duration of Aspect Shifts, and you'll get bonuses by keeping them active as long as possible.
Additional notes?The full game will contain 6 stages + Extra, with the first three stages releasing in the trial version on Sunday, July 14, 2019.
?The game is just in English for now, but a Japanese translation will be added at some point after the initial release.
