Touhou Hakujinki ~ White Names Spoiled Past (東方白塵記　～ White Names Spoiled Past, lit. "Eastern White Dust Record"

"White Names Spoiled Past" is a ''Franchise/TouhouProject'' fangame developed by several members and associates of the team behind previous fangames ''VideoGame/TheLastComer'' and ''VideoGame/MysticalPowerPlant''.

One day, Reimu, Marisa, and Sanae discover that the humans of Gensokyo have become unable to form memories. As they separately prepare to investigate the incident, they're each visited by someone claiming to have information on the culprit. One is a GadgeteerGenius who loves making shady experiments (Tokubi Shourokuzan), a familiar with [[WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway the ability of granting names]] and the power of RetGone (Shiragiku Kayano Linne), and an [[AmnesiacHero Amnesiac God]] who manipulates memories (Minayu Okuchiri). They each set off alongside their new companion, and quickly find that the situation is more complicated than it seems.

They each set off alongside their new companion, and quickly find that the situation is more complicated than it seems.

** ''Sanae and Minayu Lap 1'': Minayu suspects Tokubi of being the culprit because of her shady experiments. However, after defeating her nothing changes, so Sanae asks for more time to think about the real culprit.
** ''Reimu and Tokubi Lap 1'': Attacking her the other day, only aroused Tokubi's suspicions about Minayu being the culprit. Their fight is interrupted after Minayu recovers some of her memories. Tokubi realizes that she was framed by the actual culprit and the motivation is to gain credit to her master.

** ''Sanae and Minayu Lap 2'': [[spoiler: Minayu remembers her true name and identity as a season god who was defeated in the past by Shiragiku, who stole her faith and the legends about her were all weeded out by a centralized faith based around Kayano-hime. She and Sanae defeat her so Minayu could get her revenge. After her defeat, Shiragiku apologizes and claims that naming her as a god of forgetfulness had nothing to do with stealing her faith in the past.]]
** ''Reimu and Tokubi Extra'': [[spoiler:As they go to report to Atago, they run into Kayano-hime, who is pissed off that despite her side won this time, she lost many familiars in the process. She decides to take her anger on them, but she is defeated. Reimu finds out that Atago's body has already passed away and she's currently a bodiless divine spirit. The new leader is a slug youkai, Azuma, who fight them on a friendly duel. Azuma claims that is she retrieved the Sword of Kusanagi, she'll surely beat Kayano-hime next time. The sword is found shortly after the events of RiverbedSoulSaver.]]
** ''Sanae and Minayu Extra'': [[spoiler: They go to find more answers, but they run into Kayano-hime. Minayu tells her about the true culprit. After defeating her, they go to report on Atago, but they find Azuma instead. Azuma fights them, recognizing Sanae as a priestess of Kanako, Atago's old rival.]]
** ''Marisa and Shiragiku Extra'': [[spoiler: Now that everyone knows she is the real culprit, Shiragiku goes to find Kayano-hime before the news reaches her. On the way they found a weakened Azuma, after fighting the previous characters. In a desperate attempt to gain recognition, Shiragiku defeats her. Shortly after, Kayano-hime says that she already knows the true culprit, as Uka told her everything. She decides to punish Shiragiku in a danmaku fight. Then, Uka, Marisa, Kayano-hime and her other familiar Tenyuu sit around as they talk about Shiragiku's BatmanGambit. In the end Shiragiku is demoted.]]

* BatmanGambit: The BigBad has one. [[spoiler: Shiragiku provoked the incident and pinned the blame on Tokubi, a familiar of Atago, so she could take the credit for herself, dishonor Atago's forces and gain status and approval for her master Kayano-hime. Minayu was also blamed for the incident for being a memory god. Unfortunately, Minayu regains her lost memories and remembers that Shiragiku stole her faith in the past.]]
** Also, [[spoiler: Shiragiku defeated and stole Minayu's faith in the past for Kayano-hime's sake. When she meets an anmesic Minayu again, she advices her to become a god of forgetfulness, not recognizing her]]. As Uka finds out, it turns that it was quite intentional and [[spoiler: Shiragiku wanted to use Minayu as a scapegoat]].

* BitchInSheepsClothing: [[spoiler: Shiragiku looks like the most level-headed and mature of the suspects. Then she is revealed to be the culprit, her plan goes to Hell and is revealed to be a power-hungry bastard who cares about nobody but herself.]]
-->[[spoiler: ''Now, upon closer inspection, it seems she's (Azuma) rather exhausted from her loss...Let's chase her down here and get tons of credit for it!'']]
* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:Minayu recovers her memories as Minayumi no Kokoro no Kami and gets her revenge by defeating Shiragiku, the one responsible for erasing her identity as a season god in the first place. However, the damage is done and she has to live with this new identity]]
** The conclusion of the Extra Stage has a more positive ending, as [[spoiler:Uka tells Kayano-hime about Shiragiku's actions and gets humilliated and stripped of her rank.]]

* ConsummateLiar: [[spoiler: Shiragiku]] spouts nothing but lies though the game. Very convincing ones.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Minayu [[spoiler: (real name Minayumi no Kokoro no Kami) used to be a season god, but was defeated by Shiragiku, who used her name-granting powers to stole Minayu’s faith. Minayu loses her identity and memories and was a wandering god until she met Shiragiku, who gave her a new name and powers as a memory god.]]
** Also, Shiragiku. [[spoiler:In order to become one of Kayano-hime’s favorites, she used her name-granting powers to stole the faith of minor gods and give it to Kayano-hime. Without faith, said gods disappeared from existence.]]

* [[spoiler: TheDogWasTheMastermind: Even when the real culprit was Shiragiku, she is really nothing more than a familiar.]]

* EverythingsBetterWithRainbows: A plot point, at least in relation to figuring out the timeline. [[spoiler: Minayu's true last spell card, during Marisa's Lap 2, creates a rainstorm that leaves behind a rainbow (as shown in the background after she's defeated), which is visible during the start of Reimu's Stage 3 on Lap 2. The denouement at the end of Marisa's Extra Stage specifically states that Reimu's Lap 2 comes directly after Marisa's.]]
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Minayu uses season-based spellcards, for a supposedly memory god. [[spoiler:This hints her true identity as a season god.]]
** Also, the rolling credits show a white background with letters around it. Guess who [[spoiler:has a name with the kanji for white and has letter based spellcards. This hints at Shiragiku being the true culprit.]]

* GoldenEnding: [[spoiler: Marisa's Extra Stage. Not only does Shiragiku get exactly what she had coming, but Marisa and Kayano's entourage have a large discussion over how Shiragiku's doings affected all of the main game routes.]]

* ItsAllAboutMe: [[spoiler: Shiragiku claims to resolve the incident for Kayano-hime's sake and she might even believe it, but even if it was true at one point, by the final stage her one and only concern is power and achieving high ranks even if she has to defeat weakened gods or people she hurt in the past to achieve it. Marisa even calls her out on it.]]
* {{Irony}}: At one point, Minayu accuses Tokubi of causing the incident in order to pin the blame on Lady Kayano-hime's forces and dirty their name and by putting pressure on the enemy's sphere of influence, she'd be respected by Lady Atago, too. [[spoiler: Turns out that's actually Shiragiku's motivation.]]
** In a different way; [[spoiler: You would assume Reimu, being Touhou's main heroine, to be the one who fully resolves the incident. It turns out that not only Marisa (who was working with the true culprit Shiragiku) is much more important to the whole plot, it's ''Sanae'' who finally resolves the incident.]]
* KickTheSonOfABitch: [[spoiler: Kayano-hime to Shiragiku in the Extra Stage. She finally punishes and strips Shiragiku from her rank, after the latter betrayed the faction for her own selfish goals.]]

* SpannerInTheWorks: [[spoiler: Minayu and Uka ruined Shiragiku's BatmanGambit. Shiragiku pitted Minayu and Tokubi against each other in hopes that Minayu would lose, Shiragiku would step in and "save the tragic amnesiac god from the rival Tokubi". She never expected that Minayu would win. While Uka spied on Shiragiku and found out what she was doing, telling everything to Kayano-hime.]]
* TheDogBitesBack: After being continually defeated and pushed around, [[spoiler:Uka goes to Kayano-hime and tells her all about Shiragiku’s actions.]]
* TrueFinalBoss: [[spoiler: Marisa and Sanae's [[FinalBoss final bosses]] on Lap 2, Minayu and Shiragiku respectfully, both have bonus spellcards at the end of their fights which are very revealing in terms of the plot.]]

* ChewToy: Uka.

* UnknownRival: The Okami sisters view Tokubi, who received a high position despite having no interest in promotion, as their rival and only participate in the incident to establish their superiority. Needless to say, they fail.

* EverythingsBetterWithRainbows: A plot point, at least in relation to figuring out the timeline.
