Its defining mechanic is the communication-strength gauge: moving near the top of the screen or grazing bullets raises it, changing the value of collected score items.
What is Touhou Chireiden ~ Subterranean Animism.?
This vertical bullet-hell shooter follows humans investigating a geyser that has released subterranean spirits and creatures.
Move around the screen, fire at enemies, and avoid enemy shots, lasers, and collisions; a hit costs a life, and losing all lives ends the game. Slow movement changes option positioning and draws nearby items, while moving toward the top collects items on screen. The communication-strength gauge rises near the surface and when grazing enemy bullets, affecting the value of score items. Players can use remote spiritual attacks to clear bullets, with effects varying by character. Modes include the main game, an unlockable Extra stage, one-stage Practice runs, replays, player data, and a music room.
