About Marisa of Liartop Mountain
Marisa of Liartop Mountain is a single‑player adventure RPG that mimics tabletop gamebooks. Players guide Reimu through a branching narrative inside a mysterious book, using dice rolls and choice‑driven dialogue to shape the story. Four Touhou heroines—Remilia, Flandre, Sakuya, and Patchouli—offer advice that can affect dice acquisition and outcomes.
The game features a dice inventory with varied dice types, a CP‑based reroll system, and a soundtrack by RD‑Sounds. It supports full controllers, Steam achievements, cloud saves, and family sharing on Windows.
01 / THE GUIDE
Story and Branching Paths
Reimu searches for her missing friend Marisa after finding a strange book that transports her into Liartop Mountain. The narrative splits at many decision points, leading to multiple possible endings. Though there is a single main storyline, player choices and dice outcomes cause the plot to diverge before converging on a final conclusion.
The four Touhou characters provide selectable advice that can influence the direction of the story. Their input may be helpful, neutral, or detrimental, adding another layer of variability to each playthrough.
- Consider each character’s advice carefully; it can unlock powerful dice later.
- Experiment with different choice combinations to discover alternate endings.
02 / THE GUIDE
Dice Inventory System
The game replaces a single six‑sided die with a collection of special dice that have unique properties, such as high values, low values, or identical faces. Players acquire new dice as they progress, allowing strategic combinations that affect story events and combat.
Dice are central to both narrative twists and combat resolution, making the selection and use of dice a core strategic element.
- Mix dice with different face values to balance risk and reward.
- Track which dice you have to plan effective combinations for key moments.

Reroll Mechanics and CP
Players can spend CP to reroll dice and potentially overturn unlucky results. CP is earned by leveling up, though increasing CP makes raising other stats more difficult. This creates a trade‑off between relying on luck and developing other abilities.
Choosing when to spend CP versus improving other stats adds a strategic layer to character growth and risk management.
- Save CP for critical moments where a reroll could change the outcome.
- Balance CP investment with other stat upgrades to avoid weakening overall growth.

Touhou Character Advice
Remilia, Flandre, Sakuya, and Patchouli each offer selectable dialogue options that can affect dice acquisition and story direction. Their advice may be beneficial, irrelevant, or even harmful, encouraging players to weigh each suggestion.
Embracing certain characters’ guidance can unlock powerful dice, influencing later challenges and narrative branches.
- Listen to each character’s advice at least once to gauge its impact.
- Prioritize advice that leads to acquiring new dice for tougher sections.
