Lotus Land Story (Japanese name: 東方幻想郷, Touhou Gensoukyou) is the 4th main series Touhou Project game, developed by Amusement Makers in 1998 for the NEC PC-9800 series of computers. It was the first game with several mechanics most associate with Touhou, such as focus and graze, and in many ways can be considered the first modern Touhou game.

Difficulty Modes
Lotus Land Story has 4 difficulty modes. The higher difficulties are, of course, harder, and also have higher scoring potential. The difficulty modes are:
- Easy
- Normal
- Hard
- Lunatic
The game also has an Extra stage, which is treated as its own difficulty. Extra must be unlocked by getting a 1cc on Normal Mode or higher. This is one stage, and has 2 boss fights (although many people consider Mugetsu to just be a midboss), and the difficulty of clearing it is somewhere between a Normal and Hard 1cc.
