Ephemeral Unnatural Balance

August 16, 2019

Shooter Indie

About

The Touhou fangame where you return balance to the world by breaking the scale. Dodge storms of bullets as you work to discover the source of the abnormality. Tired of playing by the rules? Then change the game - up the risk and reward. Break the balance and embrace Discord.

Storyline

A mysterious spell has descended upon Gensokyo. The result is a devastating reversal of power between the strongest and weakest and everyone in between. Bedridden or otherwise incapacitated, the usual incident solvers are unavailable this time. Thus, they are forced to turn to a new set of heroines. Among these are the forgotten Kirin, Rin Satsuki and the wild hermit, Kasen Ibaraki.
