Our take on Nyanco Card
The defining structure is a card hunt woven into an open-world Gensokyo adventure: Nyanco must gather scattered spell cards, turn them into decks, and use them to pursue a route home.
What is Nyanco Card?
Nyanco Card is a fan-made adventure built around the Touhou Project setting.
Nyanco arrives in Gensokyo with a sword-spirit companion and learns that scattered spell cards are needed to open a gate back to her original world. The cards have become part of a local game, so progression centers on finding cards, assembling custom Touhou decks, and taking part in card battles. An open-world Gensokyo map provides the setting for exploration, while encounters introduce characters from the Touhou universe. The game also includes a character encyclopedia for recording those encounters. Its presentation uses Touhou fan art and themes, and its story follows Nyanco as she pursues the cards required for her return journey.
