01 / THE GUIDE
Input Controls
Keyboard mapping uses Arrow keys for movement, Z to fire, X for a bomb (spell card), Shift for low‑speed mode, and Esc to pause. Gamepad mapping follows Xbox/PlayStation layouts: left stick or D‑pad moves, A/× fires, RB/R1 triggers a bomb, LB/L1 toggles low‑speed, and B/START pauses.
If screen tearing or abnormal speed occurs, the description advises switching to full‑screen or toggling vertical sync at a 60 Hz refresh rate. Controller settings can be altered through Steam Controller Configuration.
- Try full‑screen mode first when performance feels uneven.
- Adjust button assignments via Steam Controller Configuration if needed.

Background Story
Night falls over Gensokyo, and a sudden strange aura shrouds the land. The Hakurei Shrine miko, a forest magician, and the Moriya Shrine miko each sense the disturbance and set out to investigate.

- Notice how each character’s reaction ties to the central mystery.
- Use the story’s pacing to decide when to pause and absorb plot details.
