✱ Prologue:
	Gensokyo – as always, a quite different place, and also filled with wonderful magic, many other illusions and mischief. A place for the youkai, and partially for the humans as well.
	However, on the verge of spring, this incredible paradise wasn’t in the best of it’s shape. Something was not right regarding the common day and night cycle. It appeared that also heavy storms would randomly occur. Days were shorter, nights longer.
	Many people wondered what was the cause, and set out to discover what was going on…

✱ Mechanics:
As said in the PowerPoint slides, the game works virtually in the same way as Phantasmagoria of Flower View works (except with the removal of spirits). In it's place, it was added the sun, moon and storms system.

✱ Sun & Moon
Throught the gameplay, the day and night cycle will occur at random. Certain characters have bonuses when at day or night, usually regarding their shot power.
Whenever a character has a different effect regarding the day and night cycle, that’ll be described in the “Special Ability” section.

✱ Storms
Storms can occur randomly after two minutes have passed in gameplay. However, they can also be activated if too many boss cancels occur during a small time frame. When this happens, players cannot use LV4 attacks for a short amount of time.
Storms also cause attacks to become stronger (adds more temporary rank points), and if Lily White is on screen while this happens, she will use a spell card instead of her normal attack (unless a boss is present).

✱ Story:
	As the heroines battle agaisnt themselves, trying to understand why this incident is occurring, the sun and the moon approaches one of them. The Sun, comes pleading for help trying to find someone with power worthy enough to help them defeat a potential giant threat, while The Moon comes politely begging for one of them to come with them to try to manipulate the culprit into giving up. These two deities are furiously enraged with the doings of the culprit, and know very well that with the help of someone strong and with a true soul, they can defeat this culprit. With the power of luminosity provided by the sun, or the power of the darkness provided from the moon, one of our heroines will have the duty of once and for all defeating the causer of all the chaos and havoc...

✱ Profiles: Already shown in the PowerPoint slides

✱ Boss Profiles:
Name: Taiyou no Kami
Species: Sun Embodiment Deity

Taiyou is a sweet but also a cunning person. She is the embodiment of the sun, so her duty is to keep the sun on it's shape, at all times. She has been doing this for eternities, but has become used to it. Her sister, Mochi, used to be very friendly with her, but the two got into an argument, and Taiyou separated from her, and eventually started also going away from the sun. On one hand, she finally had a time of relief, not having to take care of the sun and rest for a while, a thing she has almost never done in her history, but in the other hand, the sun wouldn't have her presence to maintain normal. After a while, the sun started showing abnormal behavior, and Taiyou noticed this. However, she thought that wouldn't be too big of a problem. Although, her sister eventually reached out to her, explaining how things had de-railed over the past days, and she and Mochi went out to Earth to understand what was going on.

Name: Mochi no Kami
Species: Moon Embodiment Deity

Mochi is a serene and deceiving person. As with her sister, she is the embodiment of the moon, and has to keep it on it's place. She has a harder job than Taiyou because there are living beings in the moon, so she has to be extra careful regarding her duty. However, after her fight with her sister, she also got a bit distanced from her work, and the moon inhabitants started to eventually gradually take more control of it. Mochi tried to interfere, but noticed that somewhere else something worse was happening. She looked onto Earth and noticed strange occurrences where happening, and saw that their missed duties were causing a big havoc on the land. She reached to her sister, and both went to Earth to understand what was happening. What they didn't know, was that they were going to be surprised when discovering who was the true culprit of this story...

Name: Arashi no Kami
Species: Storm Embodiment Deity

Arashi was a silent and pretty person, however, once she noticed that her two sisters had departed, she took advantage of it and went all out on her powers on Gensokyo. She harvested everything she had kept dormant, due to the strict guides she had to follow made by her sisters, and caused massive chaos on the land. Deep in, she knew that at some point her sisters would come back to fight agaisnt her, but she didn't care.
Arashi eventually got confronted by them, and together with them, one of our heroines came to try and destroy Arashi, so that they could give a lesson to her. They fought and fought, until Arashi had no power left, and fell down to defeat.
