Evaluation

Touhou Makuka Sai ~ Fantastic Danmaku Festival Part III launched on September 24, 2025. The developer was active in the months following release, shipping a significant content update on November 24, 2025 that added LSC (Extra Spell Cards) and Last Word Spell Cards for all stage bosses. A feature patch followed on December 19, 2025. The developer has clearly communicated that the game is not finished. On September 26, 2025 (just two days after launch), the team confirmed: "the story is not yet finished, and we will continue developing the upcoming chapters." An update plan posted on October 24, 2025 announced a Phantasm difficulty mode with new playable characters as a future milestone, though no release date was given. However, the most recent developer post — dated January 23, 2026 — included an important caveat: because most of the team members are not full-time, the next major update is expected to take a significant amount of time. Since that post, there have been no further developer communications as of today, June 14, 2026 — nearly five months of silence. The promised Phantasm difficulty and additional story content have not yet been delivered, and there is no update on when to expect them. This combination of outstanding commitments and extended developer silence introduces uncertainty about the timeline, even if the team has not suggested the project is cancelled.

Evidence

Developer releases FPS optimization patch and states the next major update may take 'quite some time' due to team members being part-time. This is the last developer communication on record.

★ The story

Under the influence of the second spring snow "incident", Gensokyo passed a brief summer and welcomed the autumn wind. The annual Mid-Autumn Festival event - the Lunar Capital Exhibition - was held as scheduled, but this year seemed livelier than usual. As the full moon, emitting strange moonlight, rose, a huge curtain that spanned Gensokyo had quietly fallen. Before everyone could react, the night sky of Gensokyo had completely paused, and many youkai that were usually only heard in rumors had appeared. And tonight's Lunar Capital Exhibition banquet was attracting batches of nearby youkai to come...

★ About Fujiwara no Mokou

For her, countless deadly battles took place in the bamboo forest every day, and sudden large-scale conflicts like this were nothing out of the ordinary. However, as she watched the youkai uprising gradually escalate to a point where both Keine and Mokou were struggling to cope, and even Keine began to act strangely, she finally decided not to stay out of it any longer.

"Gensokyo may have already been enveloped in the chamber created by Eientei, it seems that individual intends to expand this grand event to the entire place."
