The best translation I can find right now is this DeepL machine translation.


Initial thoughts:
- This will be the first main series game with both playable Sakuya and Sanae.
- Cards seem to be a major theme. There are several cards featured throughout the screenshots, including the Miracle Mallet, Cirno, and some kind of purple potion (perhaps the Ultramarine Orb Elixir from LoLK?). There seem to be 3 card equipment slots on the right side of the gameplay screenshots; each of those 3 cards occupies a distinct slot.
- Only power items and some kind of gold item are visible in the gameplay screenshots, no point items. The translation mentions buying upgrades during the game (the cards?); I wonder if those gold items replace point items? There's also no visible graze counter or point item value at all this time...?
- Sakuya's shot seems aimed diagonally to one side, reminiscent of PCB SakuyaB?

Much Much Much Thanks for the current heads-up and the future ones!
So...! Touhou 18 Unconnected Marketeers=(T)UM, with hints it is going to be "especially intertwined" with Double Dealing->Impossible Spell Card(->Amanojaku's Gold Rush) ?

If that’s the case, then would she be an actual bakeneko, or a tsukomogami of a maneki neko?

Major edit: A rumor on YouTube has put the cat character’s gender into question! Ladies and gentlemen we may or may not have a cat boy as a new character! The “proof” of said rumor is in maneki neko lore and in the picture itself: left hand means girl, right hand means boy.

Any thoughts?

I thought the lore was that the left hand raised meant more customers and right was more money. As much as I'd like to see ZUN introduce a new male character, this one can't be since there's a noticeable chest. That and the fandom would go insane.
Suspicious person:
Demo set to hit steam on 23 march

So proud to see our boy ZUN getting on with the times
