Touhou Juuouen(Beast King Garden) ~ Unfinished Dream of All Living Ghost (東方獣王園 〜 Unfinished Dream of All Living Ghost) is the nineteenth official installment of the Touhou Project. The game was released on August 13, 2023 at Comiket 102.

Gameplay

Unfinished Dream of All Living Ghost is a split-screen vertical-scrolling danmaku shooting game where two characters must shoot and dodge bullet patterns while unleashing attacks and character-specific spell cards onto the other player. Similar gameplay is present in the earlier entries, Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream and Phantasmagoria of Flower View.

Concept

Unfinished Dream of All Living Ghost was designed to be a sequel to Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream and Phantasmagoria of Flower View in terms of gameplay, alongside Twinkle Star Sprites. Twinkle Star Sprites' gameplay, containing two players simultaneously engaging in shooter gameplay while attacking to their opponent was the main inspiration for Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream's gameplay.

It combines this style with Unconnected Marketeers' Ability Card mechanic, where each boss in the Story Mode rewards the player with a small buff based on the character beaten.

Story

Following the opening of the markets, Gensokyo's land has abruptly lost its ownership and an invasion from Hell's Animal Realm has begun. The game's cast all seek to either bring the invasion to a halt or take advantage of the ongoing situation.
