("Eastern Lands of the Scarlet Devil")

Sixth game of the Touhou series and the first for the Windows generation, released August 11th, 2002 after a 4-year hiatus. A remake, Embodiment of Scarlet Devil New Classic, was released in September 2026 with redrawn artwork and sprites in the style of the original.

One summer day Gensokyo was suddenly enveloped in a scarlet mist, blotting out the sun and turning the land into a cold wasteland. Miko Hakurei Reimu and witch Kirisame Marisa investigate the cause - a mysterious entity known as the "Scarlet Devil".
