Eastern Otherworldly Gate is a fan project some friends and I are working on. Here are the details.
Story: Our story begins with a seemingly peaceful day. But not for long ,as strange gates start to appear in Gensokyo, bringing in hostile youkai with them. Reimu Hakurei, joined by the black-white witch, Marisa Kirisame, sets off to solve another incident and find the mastermind.
[Girls are investigating. Please wait calmly for the incident to be solved.]
Gameplay resembles Legend of Zelda and Boktai during overworld scenes. You take control of Reimu and Marisa as they investigate the Otherworldy Gates that have appeared through Gensokyo. When you travel to an area where a gate has been spotted you will partake in two shooter levels, one being the journey to the area itself (e.g. Forest of Magic) with the other being the world within the Gate. Beware! Dangerous youkai lurk in the Gate Worlds and bosses await you as well. Fight back with your danmaku and spell cards. You will receive experience (in the form of the P-cards) and money (in the form of the smaller blue cards) when you defeat enemies. Defeat the boss in a danmaku battle and the gate will be shut for good!
As for spellcards, there are three various kinds. Blue Cards will improve and power your shots. For example, the spellcard Fantasy Orb will change Reimu's shots into yin-yang orbs. Green Cards will restore your health. Red Cards are bombs that will cause fatal damage to enemies. When a spellcard is used, it will need some recovery time before it can be activated again. Blue Cards charge the fastest while Red Cards charge the slowest.
Patchouli will sell spellcards outside of the Scarlet Devil Mansion.
