Description
The real moon has been replaced with a fake the night before the Harvest Moon Festival! The girls know the gravity of this situation - the moon carries more importance than simply being the subject of the festival. However, they've only got a single night to resolve the issue, so they've created teams in an attempt to expedite the investigation as much as possible. Our girls hurry, knowing time is of the essence, but can they resolve this incident in time?
 
Unique Gameplay Mechanics
Time
* This game's story is time-intensive; the game begins at 11 PM, and if it becomes 5 AM at any point, the game is immediately over, even if you had additional lives left over after having successfully cleared a stage. Thus, you don't want to run out of time to investigate the incident.
* Continues cost half an hour each.
* Time generally advances 1 hour at the conclusion of each stage. However, if you meet the Time Point quota for the stage by collecting Time Orbs, which you normally earn by killing enemies, then time only advances half an hour at the end of that stage, which frees up enough time for one additional Continue. Although killing enemies is the default way to earn orbs, it isn't the only possible way; you can earn more ways to get orbs - see below.
* If you never meet any quotas, you have enough time for exactly one Continue.
 
Human/Youkai (H/Y) Teams
* Unfocused fire comes from the team's human, and focused fire comes from the team's youkai.
* The H/Y Gauge at the bottom-left of the playfield tracks your recent firing trends, and awards you a bonus if you've mostly been firing as one type recently; thus, you can work toward one bonus or the other to suit the situation you're in.
-> 80% Human or More: You start earning Time Orbs just for hitting enemies; you start earning orbs gradually the entire time you're causing damage to enemies or bosses.
-> 80% Youkai or More: You start earning Time Orbs for grazing; all grazes become worth saved time.
* The H/Y Gauge is also pushed toward Human or Youkai by which character collects the Time Orbs.
* Some enemies can summon spirits to assist them. Humans can shoot and defeat spirits, but Youkai shots go right through them. Spirits are worth massive Time Orb bonuses.
 
Last Spell Cards
* All main bosses of each stage have a Last Spell, but they don't normally use it. If you meet the Time Point quota by the end of the fight, then they'll use it against you. If you earn the right to face off against a Last Spell, while fighting it, you will be unable to Bomb, but getting hit won't result in loss of life or time (although it will cost you the spell card; you won't capture it). If you beat it, you get more Time Orbs and a boost to your score.
* The player also has Last Spells! This game lets you deathbomb more easily than other games in the series, but this comes at a cost of an extra bomb (2 instead of 1). When this happens, the character's teammate jumps in and uses a stronger version of their normal Spell Card.
 
Scorefile
* This scorefile was originally acquired from an unknown source. It was then improved upon by Dark Kijin, and the spell card collection completion was brought to 100% by Drizzle.
* It has 100% Extra availability, and more notably, 100% spell card availability in Spell Card Practice.
* [Difficulty-Character clearance is under review, but is not 100%.]
-> You can help get this scorefile to 100%! If you have a scorefile which improves upon the progress in this existing file, please submit it us!

extract the file WITH winrar... wdym

so now I've got the hang of winrar now, but that's not the problem, when I try opening the game a thing pops up and says "The code execution cannot proceed because d3dx9_43.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem"

Ahh! Sorry once again for the late response, some laptops or computers don't have this dll for some reason. You can get it online at places like: https://www.dll-files.com/d3dx9_43.dll.html
There are other sites, but I've found that this one works the most. After downloading the file for your computer (If it's for the 64/32 version or whatever you'd like it to be if it supports both), just insert the dll file into where the game location is. image.thumb.png.f8f0d1f01d4c0d12d8134809cd72531d.png
As you can see (although this is a different game) I've added it directly into the area in which the game calls for the file. You may have multiple dll files that you need to add, but I doubt it. After running the game again, it should work (but you might have to reinstall because you might've crashed your game when you ran it last time. Try not reinstalling and just playing the game first though!) 

BIG NOTE TO YOU
If you couldn't understand this post, or it was too confusing for you **LET ME KNOW** so that I can fix it, or walk you through where you get stuck. Once again, sorry for the late reply.

I should be sorry for replying to you a couple weeks later. 

So I'm using touhou 6 now to make it easier to connect with you & I got the link and downloaded the thing. But now I don't know how to insert it into the file. I've tried extracting it but it didn't work1994280977_Annotation2020-09-03091616.thumb.png.c73c3de1d9e9a79b8356a4d0e5d24974.png

Howdy! Glad you got some of that sorted out, I'm not entirely sure why you couldn't extract it (did you try both winrar and file explorer?) but since that didn't work, I would make a copy of the d3dx9_31 and put it's contents into the file that the game is in  (by literally opening it and putting it in). Of course, extracting it directly into the file would be much better, but it doesn't seem to work for you. If this still doesn't work for you, try redownloading the files (try both the dll and the game files one of them might be glitched). You can add me at rorogogo#8021 if you still need more intensive help (I could screen share or type to you in a more direct manner if you would like). If you don't want to do this, you can still msg me through Moriya, but I know you probably don't check this website all that often... Also, see if it's the right dll file you need, you might've needed a different one, but it was just one number off and you didn't notice it.

If you have been on this site for even a day, you can read what others say, or look at the virus scans of all of the games listed. If you for some reason still think it's too much, just don't do it -_-

Where is the spell practice? I had this game on my previous computer, before the update, and practice start would let me practice boss spells. Why was it taken away?

 

edit: You see, I am a dumb little stupid head, and failed to realize I have to unlock spell practice. I don't remember having to unlock it, but it's whatever, I've got it now.

I'm scared. Does this have any virus whatsoever? I love the Touhou series, but I just want to make sure. 

No, it's just a false positive (it detects a virus when it's not)

From what I know, the "th08" executable is the one in Japanese, while the "Touhou08" one is with the patch. If the patch doesn't work, try going to the "thcrap" folder and then click "thcrap_configure.exe", which will configure your translation patch. I tried this on the newer Touhou games that didn't work with the English patch and it fixed the problem for me, but it could be another issue for you. Hope I helped.

Wait, so if you have full Time Points, there's a rare chance that enemies use last spells? By the 1st time I played it, Wriggle started to use it and I didn't know how to make them do it again after that. I thought you need too press on something on the keyboard to activate Last Spell for enemies..

How can I resize the window in windowed mode? The window is super tiny and it basically makes the game unplayable, this is the only game this has happened to :(

 

Update: I solved my own problem looking at the notes included. I'm super happy to be able to play this game again! :)

Right click on the zip file you downloaded, (Touhou 8 - Imperishable Night.zip in this case.) and click "Extract to Touhou 8 - Imperishable Night\". Done!

I have a question regarding initial starting lives. In the options menu, it shows me that I can choose up to 5 starting lives, however I have seen people start with 7 lives. Apparently, you have to get bad endings to unlock more starting lives. I have gotten 5 bad endings, and still can only choose up to a max of 5 starting lives. Does anyone know the exact criteria to unlock 7 starting lives? Thanks!
