In the game, Sakuya Izayoi takes the center stage, set to the story of her having to head to the Scarlet Devil Castle that was certainly gone before. There, she hopes to find Remilia and her other Scarlet Devil Mansion companions who have all gone missing, alongside hints to the whereabouts of the spring that won’t come.

This new version of Koumajou Remilia Ⅱ: Stranger’s Requiem, a gothic horror Touhou action game, for the Nintendo Switch™ boasts remastered HD graphics, fully-voiced lines by professional voice actresses, and even more content for the game.

In addition, it features an epilogue that unlocks after clearing the main story. As an upgrade to the original version, this version features a boss rush mode, Reimu Hakurei, protagonist of the previous game, as a playable character, and more.
