Publisher Refint/Games and developer Bar Holographic Otaku have announced that the dungeon RPG Touhou Artificial Dream in Arcadia will launch for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and Switch on July 3 for $14.99.
Here’s a description:
Explore Gensokyo from an outsider’s perspective in this old-school Touhou DRPG!
Sumireko Usami is no ordinary student. She’s so abnormal that even the fantastical land of Gensokyo considers her an anomaly. The truth is, she can visit Gensokyo in her dreams!
A new incident has occurred, and Gensokyo has a clone problem.
Artificial Dream in Arcadia is a first-person dungeon crawler where you, as Sumireko, must navigate complex labyrinths and capture an army of Touhou’s strongest characters to aid you in turn-based battles. Journey across Gensokyo and beyond to solve an incident that seems suspiciously convenient for Sumireko—especially since she’s the only person in Gensokyo wielding a tool to control this clone infestation: her brand-new smartphone.
A massive roster of your favorite Touhou characters. Clones are roaming the lands! Dubbed “Sleepers,” they take the form of iconic Touhou characters, meaning nearly every Touhou figure is represented and playable. Sumireko’s phone features a special app that lets her capture Sleepers by defeating them in Danmaku bullet-hell duels.
Victory lets you recruit them to your party or transform them into powerful items! You can even fuse multiple Sleepers to create entirely new beings. Fielding Sleepers drains your battery. If your phone dies, you lose access to both your Sleepers and Map—so stay prepared!
