全てが見当付かないまま、巫女は調査に出る。

プレイヤー（自機）紹介

○楽園の素敵な巫女
　博麗　霊夢（はくれい　れいむ）
　Hakurei Reimu
　種族：人間
　能力：主に空を飛ぶ程度の能力

毎度お馴染みの巫女さん。博麗神社の巫女さん。
ちまたに不思議なカードが流通していた。
そのカードには人間、妖怪達の秘密が込められている様に感じ、調査に行くしかないと思った。
取り敢えずはカードの売人を手当たり次第探してカードを根こそぎ簒奪する目論見だった。

○普通の魔法使い
　霧雨　魔理沙（きりさめ　まりさ）
　Kirisame Marisa
　種族：人間
　能力：魔法を使う程度の能力

幻想郷に住む、普通な魔法使い。蒐集癖を持つ。
カードには多種多様の魔力が込められていた。
知っている人間、妖怪の魔力ばかりである。
こんなに面白いカードは他の人よりも早く集めなければいけないと思った。
きっと皆そうするに違いない。そうなったら、値段が上がる一方だからだ。

○瀟洒なメイド
　十六夜咲夜（いざよい　さくや）
　Izayoi Sakuya
　種族：人間
　能力：時間を止める程度の能力

紅魔館でメイド長をしている。すましているので分かりにくいが、実は少し天然。
ちまたに不思議なカードが流通していた。
そのカードにパチュリー様が非常に興味を持たれ、全てを回収するように命じられた。
確かに興味深いカードだった。中にはお嬢様の魔力が込められたカードもあるという。
しかし、お嬢様はピンピンしている。これは一体何を意味しているのか……。

○奇跡の現人神
　東風谷早苗（こちや　さなえ）
　Kochiya Sanae
　種族：人間
　能力：奇跡を起こす程度の能力

カードの売人は妖怪の山を中心に活動していた。
推測するにカードの生産元も近くにあるのではないか。
山にある守矢神社はそれを看過できなかった。
放って置けば、また博麗神社に持って行かれてしまうのではないか、と。",[791],{"_16":226,"_227":792,"_242":797,"_244":236,"_27":236,"_245":138,"_246":247,"_248":249},[793],{"_230":742,"_231":794,"_233":72,"_234":138,"_235":236,"_237":78,"_238":795,"_240":796},"Touhou Kouryudou ~ Unconnected Marketeers. - 12,49€"," ",1249,"Buy Touhou Kouryudou ~ Unconnected Marketeers.",{"_252":796,"_253":796,"_255":799,"_257":800,"_259":138,"_261":236},"EUR","12,49€","https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/1566410/capsule_184x69.jpg?t=1621839528",{"_267":803},"Minimum:

ストーリー

秘封俱楽部初代会長　宇佐見菫子。
彼女は夢を見ている時だけ幻想郷を訪れることが出来る。

しかしある日曜日、不思議な夢を見た。
博麗霊夢が、理由も無く攻撃を仕掛けてきたのだ。

しかも、いつまで経っても夢から覚めることは無く、延々と霊夢に攻撃されたのである。

途方に暮れた彼女は、記録にとって楽しもうと考えた。
弾幕を写真に収めた途端、夢から目覚めたのだが……。

それから何故か現実の記憶も曖昧になり、悪夢に悩まされる日々が続いた。

はてさて、彼女の運命は如何に……。

ゲームの進め方

攻略したい曜日を左右で選び、それから弾幕夢を選ぶと
短いステージが開始します。

相手の体力を０にすれば、そのシーンはクリアです。
しかし敵弾に当たってしまったら、もう一度やり直しです。

＊ただし敵を撃破しても、写真を一枚も撮っていない場合はクリアになりません。

＊ストーリーを見るのにすべての弾幕夢をクリアする必要はありません。
　クリア出来そうなシーンだけクリアして、先に進みましょう。

操作説明

・上下左右　自機の操作
・SHOTキー（Zキー）　ショット
・PHOTOキー（Xキー）　写真撮影
・SLOWキー（Shiftキー）　低速移動
・PAUSEキー（ESCキー）　ポーズ

＊特殊な操作
・SLOW + PHOTO　撮影ゲージ高速チャージ
・SLOW二度押し　テレポーテーション（超能力Lv2以上）

写真撮影

写真ゲージが100%時に、PHOTOボタンを押すと撮影することが出来ます。
写真に収めた弾幕は消す事が出来ます。
避けられない弾幕を攻略するのに必須です。

また、ボスを撮影すると高いダメージを与えることが出来ます。
（写真中央に近ければ近いほど高ダメージです）

・ファインダーモード
　PHOTOボタンを押しっぱなしにすると、一定時間フォーカスフレームを動かすことが出来ます。
　但し、写真が小さくなってしまうので、慣れてきたら出来るだけボスに接近して撮影しましょう。

写真ゲージ

プレイヤーの近くにあるパーセント表示は、写真ゲージです。
100%の時だけ撮影できます。

ゲージは自動的に増加します。
ショットをボスに当てると僅かに早く回復します。

更に、SLOW と PHOTO ボタンを押しっぱなしにするとショットが撃てなくなる代わりに「高速チャージ」ができます。

写真評価点

写真を撮影すると、それぞれに推定評価点がつきます。
評価点は
　・撮影した弾の多さ
　・ボスを写真に収めている
　・自分が写っている
等により総合的に評価されます。

撮影した写真の中で最高得点の物だけが記録になります。
つまり何枚撮っても点数は最高点の写真一枚だけとなります。","https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/924650/page_bg_raw.jpg?t=1667286247",[1197],{"_16":226,"_227":1198,"_242":1202,"_244":236,"_27":236,"_245":138,"_246":247,"_248":249},[1199],{"_230":1159,"_231":1200,"_233":72,"_234":138,"_235":236,"_237":78,"_238":795,"_240":1201},"秘封ナイトメアダイアリー～ Violet Detector. - 8,99€",899,"Buy Hifuu Nightmare Diary ~ Violet Detector.
