hopeless masquerade
A Touhou fighting game, officially designated as "Touhou 13.5" (as its events take place between Ten Desires and Double Dealing Character). A demo with three playable characters was released 30 December 2012 at Comiket 83; the full version followed 26 May 2013 during Reitaisai 10 (alongside the demo for Double Dealing Character).
The storyline centers on representatives of the three major faiths in Gensokyo -- Shinto, Buddhism, and Taoism -- battling it out in the wake of an overall crisis of faith in the Human Village.
