❤ Dungeon Exploration

You take on the role of Sumireko Usami, a high-schooler who can visit the fantasy land of Gensokyo in her dreams. The game features a first-person, tile-based dungeon crawling system reminiscent of classic Shin Megami Tensei (SMT) titles. As you navigate the intricate mazes, you must map out the layout, overcoming each dungeon's unique gimmicks and challenges.

❤ Combat and Recruitment

Battles unfold in a turn-based format, but the game introduces a distinctive "Hijack" mechanic. To recruit enemy "Sleepers" (clones of Touhou characters) to your party, you must engage in a bullet-hell style minigame. Successfully hijacking a Sleeper allows you to add them to your team or convert them into useful items.

❤ Party Building and Customization

Character customization and party building are core gameplay elements. You can fuse Sleepers together to create new, more powerful party members, and transfer skills between them, offering a high degree of flexibility in building your ideal team.

❤ Quality of Life Features

The experience incorporates quality of life improvements compared to classic SMT titles. These include the ability to directly fuse Sleepers from the compendium, and an item that instantly maps the current dungeon floor, streamlining repetitive tasks.

❤ Difficulty and Challenge

Reviewers praise the game's well-balanced difficulty curve, drawing comparisons to the challenging but fair nature of older SMT entries. The combat requires strategic planning and effective use of buffs/debuffs to overcome tough encounters and bosses, providing a satisfying and rewarding experience.
