This is not actually a real game (or at least not a notable one), but an elaborate fake trying to pass itself off as an official game in the Touhou Project series, or else other people on the net are trying to pass it off as an official Touhou game. There is no mention of this game on the official website of the Touhou Project's creator ZUN, seen here, and as such this article should be deleted. 十八 03:42, 17 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - hoax, no RS. Nifboy (talk) 03:53, 17 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's not a fake; there is an official web page that I have provided a link to as a source. Blogs are usually not acceptable sources as per WP:RS. Wikipedian06 (talk) 04:04, 17 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

And that very website says:

※これはネタ動画の為の、ネタページです！※　東方海神宮
"*This is a joke page for a joke movie!* Touhou Kaizinguu"
Ｑ、インストールできません。
Ａ、ゲームじゃないんです。
"Q. It won't install."
"A. It's not a game."

Not to mention that the video starts with "13th Imitation Shrine Maiden", and the ending scene has the characters talking about how it's unofficial. --TheSinnerChrono (talk) 04:20, 17 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Also, ZUN's blog would be an acceptable source for a TH13 announcement per WP:SELFPUB. The site you provided, which is also self-published, fails #4: "there is no reasonable doubt as to its authenticity". Nifboy (talk) 06:15, 17 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
