Touhou FDF Part III Demo Stage 2 Theme - Bloody River
25Stage 2 Theme of the February 2025 Demo of FDF3
Name: Bloody River
Composer's Comment:
And just like that, we welcome a new original composition, describing the horrifying scenes along the Road of Reconsideration and Higan.
All around are abhorrent youkai; Gensokyo isn't a place any random human could live in, after all.
At the climax we meat an unfamiliar face as the style of the track begins to shift, and the Eastern and Western elements collide and develop as one.
Uploader's Comment:
The characters on screen mean "this bank" (contrast with "Higan", "the far bank"). A symbolic word meaning "this mortal world".
I tend to be ambivalent about the more atmospheric music this team has started doing since FDF2, but this track was a HUGE atmospheric subversion; I was not expecting this at all. Please go play the game and experience this for yourself. Fangames have tried the edgy route in the past and this one hits the best among them.
