Imperishable Night

Imperishable Night (東方永夜抄 Tōhō Eiyashō) is the eighth Touhou game. It was released at the Comiket 66 Convention in August 2004. The Touhou Project is a one-man project by a Japanese amateur game maker, ZUN (pseudonym), who did all the graphics, music, and programming alone.

This story's focus is on a rather more insidious evil than past games. Gensokyo's yearly event, the Moonviewing Feast, is only one dawn away... but someone seems to have replaced the moon with a fake that will not grow full. A team of human and phantom set out to remedy this before the night is over - the story says that the team the player selects is the only team heading out to investigate. This is true for most of the Touhou games; the only character heading for the final boss is the player-chosen one - exceptions to this are Phantasmagoria of Dim. Dream and Phantasmagoria of Flower View.

Each of the usual playable characters gets a teammate from the non-human side of Gensokyo; in this entry. Reimu Hakurei allies with Yukari Yakumo, Youkai of the Boundary; Marisa Kirisame with Alice Margatroid, Seven-Colored Puppeteer; and Sakuya brings her mistress, Remilia Scarlet. The new team is half-ghost Youmu Konpaku and full-ghost Yuyuko Saigyouji, end-bosses of Perfect Cherry Blossom. All the other characters (except Remilia) appeared in Perfect Cherry Blossom as well.
