Dive headfirst into a whirlwind of action in SANAE’s Sylphid Breeze, a charming Touhou fan game brought to life with delightful pixel art. A dark cloud has cast its shadow over the Moriya Shrine. Lady Kanako, the shrine’s revered goddess, has been attacked under mysterious circumstances! Adding to the chaos, the sacred pillar known as Onbashira—the very symbol of the Moriya—has been stolen. Who could be behind these acts? Is it Marisa, the notorious black-and-white thief familiar to all? Or perhaps the Myouren Temple, a business rival harboring grudges? Or even the Celestial, whose fearless smile hides untold secrets...? You’ll take control of Sanae Kochiya, nimbly traversing the fantastical world of Gensokyo with fluid actions like dashing, jumping, and sliding. Challenging platforms or yawning abysses are no match for her miraculous wind powers, allowing her to levitate gracefully over obstacles. Her signature new ability, SPELL SPOILER, lets her inhale enemies on her path and mimic their powers. Every time Sanae absorbs a spell, she transforms into that enemy’s form, blending adorable pixel art charm with tactical gameplay. Beyond the main adventure, jump into the exhilarating mini-game TENGU RUMEI RACE, where Sanae and Marisa compete on rugged mountain trails. Master the rough terrain to impress the watching Tengu, who capture your best moments on camera. Prepare for aerial showdowns too, where Sanae takes to the skies to engage enemies in fierce shooting battles. She wields Ofuda in rapid succession and channels Kanako’s divine power for devastating blows. Together, these mechanics create a rich, engaging journey filled with dazzling action and strategy. Fully voiced dialogue breathes life into each character, delivering humor and charm that break free from convention. Meet a memorable cast including Sanae Kochiya (voiced by Saho Shirasu), Marisa Kirisame (Mai Kanazawa), Kanako Yasaka (Noriko Shibasaki), Suwako Moriya (Risa Sekiguch), Tenshi Hinanawi (Ayaka Murata), and Aya Syameimaru (Kanamai). Challenge yourself with spell card battles mirroring the original Touhou series, where bosses unleash intricate danmaku patterns. Use SPELL SPOILER wisely to turn their attacks against them and claim victory. If you’re new to the genre or need a helping hand, activate BREEZE Mode to reduce damage and gain health pickups. Note that BREEZE Mode cannot be switched on during boss fights, so toggle it before heading into the fray.
