The two silhouettes might be the same character, that can form a team by herself, and in versus mode, you may be able to chose between her two " forms " to chose which one to use as a partner, maybe.
Like I said, a character with split personality fits this bill well.

Am I the only one that find the orange shadow strongly looks similar to Suika ? It reminds me of her horn(with her ribbon on it) and her bottle.

I immediatly thought about Suika too.
Probably just a coincidence, I guess.

Has there been a word lost about further Steam Integration?

As in, does it use Steam's "Join game/Invite to game" function ranging from trading cards. I recall ZUN saying that Tasofro is a wildcard when it comes to that, afterall.

Those silhouette... their colors... I can't believe Shingyoku is coming back before Mima does!
Jokes aside, it will surely just be new characters, so there's nothing but wait left to know how are they like...

Steam version will be released on January 5th.

Comiket version and Steam version can cross-play with each other

Now THAT's what I'm talkin' about.
That doesn't leave too much to support the improved netcode possibility, but it's definitely promising.

Nice!  I have a gift card that I got for Christmas (I always buy myself a present from my cats to me so I know what it is) and that'll cover more than half the cost of both games.  So January 5th is perfect timing for this!

There's a dragon on the cover.
ULiL's cover had outside world on it, and we ended visiting it :V
I take this back. Apparently it's actually a baku (saw it retweeted by drake), which would refer to Doremy.

It is just speculation based on the silhouette pattern and context of the game (being related to dream souls, Doremy being included, etc), but I think it's a pretty reasonable guess to think baku will be important. It isn't necessarily that the baku would have to be just Doremy, though!

EDIT: reworded, was confusing

I don't see how it resembles a baku.  Looks like two characters to me.

We aren't talking about the silhouettes but the thing overlayed on them, right? Because yes, thats totally a painting of a Baku. Most of them don't have these japanese-dragon-like antlers, but some paintings sure do.

Yes, talking about the white lineart mostly visible on the left character. See here:

Not seeing resemblances to a baku.

Not the silhouette itself. The pattern on top.

If this isn't a baku I don't know what it is

You can clearly see its face

Poison Cat

The blue silhouette can be a tengu. It seems to have a hat like Aya and Momiji.

But anyways, it might be something else. If it were a tengu, it wouldn't match the story pretty much.

That's some guy's short story that won a contest, it isn't folklore.

While that makes its relevance less likely, I wouldn't discount it entirely. Given The Monkey's Paw appearing in ULiL.
Write or fight, same thing. You might as well come out swinging either way.<3 Just not too hard, as that's no fun.

No I mean it's literally some reader-submitted thing. It says right at the start of the article, and that blurb is the whole story. It's basically Shinto fanfiction. The Monkey's Paw is a century old and is famous.

Wasn't Ichirin's Hasshaku-sama also a relatively recent Japanese creepypasta?

Was looking through AoCF's Steam page, and got curious about something...



"Online Multi-Player"
Does this imply using Steam's netcode and/or inviting friends to a game as an option, or is it just a general marker?
Want to be sure so I don't set my expectations for improved netcode too high.

Probably no, as it has been stated that the steam and comiket versions will be interplayable.
Je pense, donc je suis.

That's why I thought it could be one of several options to connect to a game, but maybe not.  Oh well.

A popular and widespread creepypasta, on par with Slenderman overseas, something ZUN would know about. But the Twin Baku story, which is a single story written by a westerner with very little popularity, is highly unlikely to be something he would enough to base the fucking final bosses on.
My old avatars: Old ass turtle, Unzan - Second and Current Avatar by the talented Aoshi-shi

Also it's only involving the dream part of the incident, not the soul part or possession part. Beside, the story itself doesn't look like it would jive with either the urban legend aspect, or even Touhou aspect, as it's a morality tale, IMO.

What are the odds Junko decides to come to Gensokyo and engage in fights with its residents-

oh wait the LoLK Extra ending hinted that

she came to gensokyo in one of the mangas, so... ;)

ugh, imagine if hecatia was also playable and they'll pair up together, just like they did in LoLK. what a missed opportunity...

if doremy is actually gonna be the only LoLK character in the game, i'll be pissed. LoLK has by far the best cast of characters, why not fuckin' use them?
