The premise, in the publisher's words
A dark reimagining of the Touhou universe as a corporate dystopia, shamelessly ripping off inspired by games like Hotline Miami and Cruelty Squad. A "Cleaner" at Sanzu Corporation, Reimu finds herself trapped in a whirlwind of fairy drug trade, corporate-sanctioned mass murder and nonsensical architecture as she tries to find out who sends her cryptic phonecalls and find a way to either death or a better-paying job. In a world where Styx, Sanzu and every other river separating life and death has been privatized, dying is a privilege for only the richest and mortal office workers are stuck in an endless cycle of pain and overtime.
