''the Embodiment of Scarlet Devil'' was first announced on ZUN's website on April 15, 2002, approximately three and a half years after the release of ''Mystic Square''. At this time, it was being developed under the name {{nihongo|"Eastern Scarlet Teahouse"|東方紅茶館|Touhou Kouchakan}}; it was changed to the current name afterwards. Beginning with an early trial version on June 10, 2002, the trial versions went through a number of revisions until the game's final release at [[:Category:Comiket 62|Comiket 62]] on August 11, 2002. Patches would be released up until late that November, ending on version 1.02h.

In addition to its normal release, ZUN also released an exclusive Extra stage demo to doujin shops such as Tora no Ana and Akibaoukoku. In this version, the last part of the boss is much harder.<ref name="bulletinboard"/>
