東方輝針城 ([i]Touhou Kishinjou[/i] - lit. "Eastern Castle of Shining Needles")

The fourteenth cardinal [[Touhou]] game, announced by [[ZUN]] on 11 May 2013.

It features the return of [[Izayoi Sakuya]] as a playable character, joining the usual protagonists [[Hakurei Reimu]] and [[Kirisame Marisa]].  The plot involves the three girls' trademark weapons all behaving oddly, as if they have minds of their own.  The game is, in ZUN's own words, "Neither novel or retro, an ageless neo-retro [[danmaku]] shooter."  

The three-level demo was released 26 May 2013 during [[Reitaisai]] 10.
Full version was released on 12 August 2013 during [[Comiket]] 84.
