Unique Gameplay Mechanics
This game has got a TON of unique features. Read this carefully.

Chapters
* Every stage in this game, including cards in each boss fight, is split up into segments called Chapters, and at the conclusion of each, the game judges how well you performed in that segment, rewarding good play with Life Pieces or Bomb Pieces, depending which mode you're playing.

Game Modes
* LoLK asks a rather unique question first thing when you start a new game - this is the first, and currently the only, game in the series that asks you to pick a game mode. Here's the differences between the two:

Legacy Mode
* You get several lives, and you respawn when you die, with a limited number of credits to utilize. Pretty standard fare.
* This mode is heavy on Life Pieces; in exchange, you'll have difficulty earning large amounts of Bombs. On one hand, you only earn one Bomb per midboss after stage 2, so if you're used to more liberal Bomb earnings, you might be a bit uncomfortable with how stingy Legacy Mode is with handing them out. On the other hand, a skilled player will end up racking up tons of Extends rather quickly, making having tons of Bombs less necessary.
* Those seeking to play LoLK the way they're used to playing other Touhou games should pick this mode.

PointDevice Mode
* This mode makes it so the game auto-saves your progress after each Chapter, acting like auto-save checkpoints you'd see in other modern games. The catch? You only get one life - your Life counter is totally disabled; you cannot earn more extra lives and you'll never see Life Pieces.
* This means that when you die, there's no recourse but to start from your last save.
* However, one of the nice things about PD mode is that your Bomb count is also saved, so the game state is exactly what it was when you got there.
* So essentially, what you're doing is attempting a no-miss run with occasional checkpoints in the event that you screw up and die. Since the game saves, instead of utilizing a Credits system, this means you get to retry from your last save as many times as you need to until you finally clear that troublesome spell card.
* It's important to note that saves made in PD Mode stick around for subsequent play sessions - the game remembers one save state per character. If you reload the game and pick the same character, you'll be asked if you want to Resume, or trash the save and Restart. (Yes, Resume is the red option for some weird reason.)
* This mode is very heavy on Bombs because it lacks extra lives entirely.
If you're looking to improve your general or death-bombing skills, PD Mode can be a great choice.
* Those seeking to play LoLK in a more challenging and more modern way will want to pick this mode.

Earning Life/Bomb Pieces
* This also differs depending upon the mode you're playing.

Life Pieces
* Legacy: You get Life Pieces at the end of each Chapter, appropriate for how well you performed, but to get anything, the Chapter score must be 1 million or higher.
* PointDevice:
Since you can't earn extra lives in PD Mode, you get Bomb Pieces instead, using the methodology noted above for earning Life Pieces.

Bomb Pieces
* Legacy: You'll receive a full Bomb for each midboss you defeat in stage 2 and onward. You'll also get a Bomb Piece for acquiring another Life Piece when you're already maxed out on lives.
* PointDevice:
You receive Bomb Pieces instead of Life Pieces at the end of each Chapter using the above methodology for determining Life Piece gain in Legacy Mode (since you can't earn extra lives in PD Mode).

Advanced Grazing System
* The grazing system is no longer only worth points - in this game, grazing becomes an outright requirement if you want more lives or bombs.
-> The Chapter score assessment methodology takes grazing into account, and that's the only way you're going to earn Life Pieces in Legacy Mode or Bombs in PointDevice Mode.
-> To encourage grazing, LoLK allows you to graze the same bullet multiple times, as if they were lasers. (A single bullet can yield up to 11 GP - 1 point for the initial graze, up to 5 more for staying close to it, and 5 more for picking up the point item generated for a 1-second graze.) The drawback is that grazing normal bullets in this way is slower than just grazing an actual laser instead, so lasers are always preferable if there are any around.
* As long as you're grazing bullets, items fall more slowly, similar to Sakuya's ability in IN.

Description
With the Urban Legend incident still ongoing, a new urban legend comes into play; Perfect Possession. This phenomenon allows one person to take control over another person’s body. And of course, there exists those who seek to use this phenomenon for their own benefit…
Unique Gameplay Mechanics
Occult System
Returning from Urban Legend in Limbo is the occult system. By pressing the Melee and Weak Attack buttons together, each character can unless their unique occult attacks. You can only do this while your occult meter (in the upper left/right of the screen) is active however. Last Words return as well, being activated by pressing the Strong Attack and Switch buttons together, with a full spellcard bar and a full occult bar. Pulling this off successfully deals massive damage, but using it makes it impossible to use Occult attacks or your Slave for the rest of the round.
Master and Slave System
By pressing the Switch button, you can tag out with your Slave character, or summon them to do an assist. Like the occult attacks, this can only be done while the occult meter is active, and also drains the occult meter while the Slave is active. While the Slave character is active, occult attacks cannot be used, but your health regenerates until there’s no white part of your health bar left. Slave characters can also add their own spellcards after a Master’s spellcard, by holding forward and pressing the Switch button during it while you have a full spellcard bar.

Description
Despite it being midsummer, the seasons in various locations are completely out of whack. The Hakurei Shrine is showered in cherry petals, Youkai Mountain is basking in the middle of autumn, and the Forest of Magic is blanketed in snow... and thanks to some strange force, Gensokyo's fairies are running rampant with unfathomable strength. In the midst of this undeniable incident, the girls set out to investigate and find the perpetrator behind it.
 
Unique Gameplay Mechanics
Seasons
Since the whole game is based around seasons, it'd make sense for the seasons to come into play when you pick your player. As such, along with your main shot, you get to pick a season specific sub shot. Each sub shot is essentially a weaker version of the matching main shot (so Sub Spring is homing, just like Reimu's Main Shot). Your sub shot also changes what Releaseyou have. The Extra Stage has its own unique sub shot that can only be used during it (and is the only sub shot that can be picked there).

Season Items and Options
When you get into the game, you'll notice a bar on the bottom left. This is the release bar. When you collect season items, it fills up, and when it's full, you gain one sub shot option. The bar can be filled up to 6 times, giving a total of 6 options.
But how do you get season items you ask? Simple my good sir! Season items are generated by:
* Killing enemies
* Grazing bullets
* Erasing bullets

Releases
At this point, you may be wondering what a Release is. A Release is a circular field that spawns when you press the C button, as long as you have at least one charge on your Release Bar. Using a release uses up all of your Release Bar, and grows stronger the more charges are used up. As well, erasing bullets with a Release is the only way to increase point item value. As mentioned earlier, the season sub shot changes what the properties of your Release does.
* Spring - Spring's Release has the shortest duration of the Releases, but has the largest range out of all of them, with a 6 charge Release clearing practically the entire screen. Additionally, this release temporarily makes you invincible.
* Summer - Summer's Release is the second shortest Release, but has the unique property of only using up one charge per use instead of every charge.
* Autumn - Autumn's Release creates a circle around you that follows you as you move, with the size of the circle decreasing over time. The more charges used slows down the size decrease. Along with this, for the duration of the Release, your movement speed is increased.
* Winter - Winter's Release is the longest of the four seasonal Releases, creating a circle at the spot where you used the release. The more charges used up, the longer the Release lasts. As well, for the duration of the Release, the amount of damage you deal is increased.
* Dog-Days/Border - The unique Release for the EX Stage. The shot itself fires backwards, and the Release combines aspects of the other Releases. Like Summer, Void only uses up one charge instead of all of them, creating a circle that quickly decreases in size like Autumn, and drifts backwards.

Description
As the sole playable character, Sumeriko is trapped within a nightmare where Gensokyo residents consistently try to attack her with a variety of spellcards where she can only defend herself from them using her phone to take photos and post on social media.
Gameplay
With similar gameplay to past Danmaku photography games like Shoot the Bullet you control your character to take photos of bosses and their danmaku with the addition of being able to shoot other than just taking photos to defend yourself. However Sumeriko also has the ability to use powers like teleportation to aid in her photography. Featuring nearly every Windows Era character up to Hidden Star In Four Seasons with multiple spellcards each (some from previous games.) this means some cards feature two bosses together combining their attacks. In order to unlock new bosses you have to fill the Nightmare Diary to progress further.
