Touhou Chouseisho(Tide Bible) ~ Sapphire Panlogism (東方潮聖書 ~ Sapphire Panlogism) is a fan-made Touhou Project game made using the Touhou Danmakufu ph3sx shooting game engine, created by Team Urban Magic. The game features a 6-stage story mode, along with an Extra Stage and an After-Extra "Carrefour" Stage.

Gameplay

The game's main mechanic is the Rainbowl system. Throughout the game, the player will encounter enemies with red or green auras surrounding them. This aura will turn blue after a while, making the enemy more vulnerable in return. Should you defeat that enemy, it will drop small, raindrop-shaped items that are colored red, green, or blue depending on the aura of the defeated enemy. Droplets collected by the player are added to the Rainbowl, which is shown on the right side of the screen.

During spell card attacks, bosses will have their own auras, which will cycle through the three colors. In addition to droplets of the aura's color at the time of clearing the spell card, the boss will also drop a life or spell piece.
(Note: Droplets will not be automatically collected when the player crosses the point of collection.)

Collecting 10 droplets of the same color will activate a Rain Border. The rewards are different depending on the border's color when it ends:

  • Red borders offer life pieces.
  • Green borders offer spell pieces.
  • Blue borders offer extra PIV (point item value) items.

If the player collects 10 droplets of another type while a border is active, the border will be refreshed and become a new color based on the combination of droplet types. The more colors comprising a border, the more score and resources the player will obtain. In other words, individual combined borders are more valuable than multiple single-color borders.

Releasing the Z key when a border is active will allow the player to automatically collect all on-screen items and award a corresponding score bonus, with a multiplier based on the amount of colors active.
The border will become inactive during boss dialogue scenes, and item collection will automatically activate once the battle is over.

Story

Gensokyo has been dealing with an unusual drizzle as of late. Somehow, saltwater is raining down from the sky in large quantities. Just what kind of person could be causing this, and for what reason...?

Music

Sapphire Panlogism features original music in the style of ZUN, composed predominantly by Frogmask, with some tracks by other composers such as Spectral Nexus, Naudiz, and KUROHA.
