Our take on Marisa of Liartop Mountain
Rather than following a fixed RPG route, the game makes dice results and forked decisions central to progression. Its narrative branches according to those outcomes, while later paths converge, creating a tabletop-style structure instead of a single predetermined sequence.
What is Marisa of Liartop Mountain?
Play as Reimu while exploring Liartop Mountain, a dungeon inside a mysterious book, in search of the missing Marisa.
The RPG uses tabletop-inspired rules: decisions and dice results alter story events, combat outcomes, and the route through a branching narrative with multiple endings. Special dice can be collected, including dice with high values, low values, or identical faces, and combined for different effects. Remilia, Flandre, Sakuya, and Patchouli offer selectable advice that can influence events and provide access to dice. CP allows rerolls, while investing in CP can limit growth in other statistics. The story follows one main narrative that branches and later converges.
