She finds Reimu Hakurei had infiltrated the parallel universe as it is affecting the real Gensokyo. In the game's alternate ending, the real Nitori discovers that the world is collapsing and sends Sakuya to investigate. After Sakuya defeats Flandre, Remilia apologizes and undoes Luna Nights. Apparently, this is for Remilia's own amusement, but her younger sister Flandre Scarlet disguises herself as Nitori Kawashiro and hijacks the parallel universe in revenge for Remilia using her magical jewels to create Luna Nights without permission. Sakuya Izayoi, the head maid of Gensokyo's Scarlet Devil Mansion, is sent to a parallel universe that mysteriously resembles the mansion, by her mistress, Remilia Scarlet. Gold can be spent on upgrades to Sakuya's abilities, giving her new weapons and moves, and improve her maximum HP and MP. Like most Metroidvanias, the player can acquire gold (which is used as currency), and experience points by killing enemies. In order to replenish either one, the player must find one of the few vending machines scattered around the map, or graze enemy attacks (having enemy attacks reach the edge of Sakuya's hitbox will replenish HP and MP, a gameplay mechanic from the official Touhou games). Using Sakuya's powers drains the MP (magic) meter, which regenerates very slowly, and the HP (health) meter, which drops upon being hit, does not regenerate at all. The player controls Sakuya Izayoi, whose main abilities, hailing from her Touhou appearances, consist of being able to stop time, and throw knives. Touhou Luna Nights is an action-adventure game, in which the player must navigate around a large mansion, killing enemies and maneuvering through platforming sections, and occasionally encountering puzzles and boss fights.
