Touhou Douyouon ~ SiIver Sonata.[note 1] (東方動揺音 ~ SiIver Sonata., lit. "Disturbing Eastern Sound") is a high quality Touhou Project fangame released on April 1, 2017, and later became a part of The SiIvaGunner CCC ARG. It is a Touhou Danmakufu ph3 script developed by Kirbio.
Overview[]
SiIver Sonata is a vertical scrolling shoot 'em up much like previous Touhou Project games. The player takes on the role of Reimu Hakurei, who encounters opponents and enemies on her way to the lighthouse. SiIver Sonata is relatively short in comparison to the standard Touhou Project game, consisting of only one stage and one difficulty level (Stage S - Nice).
The plot of the game is heavily insprired by The SilvaGunner Christmas Comeback Crisis and Kirby Planet Robobot, while the gameplay is reminiscent of one from Touhou: Book of Star Mythology. The in-game incident appears to happen after the event of Touhou 14.5: Urban Legend in Limbo.
Characters[]
SiIver Sonata consists of seven characters. They mostly originated from the Touhou Project series, with the exception of 🅱lukari 🅱lakumo, who is a recolor of an existing character; and Fuma Mishandra, who is a character from Touhou: Book of Star Mythology.

Figment familiars[]
Figment familiars are the spell circles that appear during the Last Spell. Each spell circle represents a figment, which in turn represents a channel meme (or human imagination, as explained in-universe). The following is a list of all 36 figment familiars' appearances in reverse chronological order:
-
- Grand Dad
- Smol Nozomi
- Loud Nigra
- Homer Simpson
- Peter Griffin
- Haruka Amami
Story[]
Melodies of the Broken Dreams | |
---|---|
Vast Gensokyo Field | |
BGM: Voyage 1969 | |
Reimu | I don't understand this at all... What's going on? What are these strange melodies I hear? My ears are starting to hurt... |
??? | Hi~ |
Koishi Komeiji ENTERS | |
Still your best friend Koishi Komeiji | |
Koishi | We meet again, folks~ |
Reimu | What |
Koishi | Oh you know, it's Kirbio's hijinks #3412, who did you expect as a boss of the script anyways? |
Reimu | ... Oh. Ugh. I knew it! I found myself in yet another crappy fanfiction by one of those pesky Danmakufu scripters. At least I'm not coloured Purple this time... |
Koishi | Hey, we shouldn't talk about those dark days, you know~ |
??? | Ahuhu~ This seems interesting... Can I join? |
🅱lukari 🅱lakumo ENTERS | |
Overpowered Youkai 🅱lukari 🅱lakumo | |
🅱lukari | Hello! I'm not Yukari! I'm my OC, Blukari! Donot steel plz |
Reimu | What. Have. I. Gotten. Myself. Into. |
Koishi | But this script has me as a boss! |
🅱lukari | Oh shut up, This is SiIver Sonata, not Koishi Land, Heaven or whatever You can guess from the script title |
Koishi | It's not yours either... But then who is the boss of this script? |
Koishi Komeiji and 🅱lukari 🅱lakumo DISAPPEARED | |
??? | Apologies... |
Reimu | Ok. What's going on?. |
Fuma Mishandra ENTERS | |
The Voice of Transcended Imagination Fuma Mishandra | |
Fuma | Fuma knows that it is not great to break the fourth wall But they should not be in the script like this. |
Reimu | ... |
Fuma | This tower... this sacred melody It's the power of the dream that the people of the outside world abandoned. |
Reimu | Ok, I'll just ask you straight What are you planning to do with this power? |
Fuma | That, Fuma doesn't know. Fuma is only here to complete the ritual Fuma needs to do from ancient times. To bring the lost Figments back to life in the sacred land of Gensokyo. |
Reimu | You cannot simply fuel any imaginations to life. Having the Urban Legend Incident here is enough to deal with. |
BGM: Higan Retour ~ Riverside View | |
Fuma | You can not tell Fuma what to do. Fuma knows this is her duty. Fuma has to revive the dream of the SiIver melody. |
Reimu | I simply cannot let that happen! |
Fuma Mishandra DEFEATED | |
BGM: ZTF1Ul9relF5Vlk= 64 | |
Fuma Mishandra REVIVES | |
Fuma | The imagination that transcends reality... The melody that resonates within the heart. If the ideas of the figments still exist, they will still live on By the name of the one who channels the power of abandoned dreams. Please allow me to borrow the power of all the figments existing beyond reality! |
