* DoubleMeaningTitle: There are multiple Undefined Fantastic Objects in the game: the various [=UFOs=] that provide most of the item drops, the Palanquin Ship the plot is centered around, and the mysterious ball of light that serves as the Stage 4 and 6 midboss, in actuality the source of the [=UFOs=] whose true form is fought as the Extra Stage boss.

Added DiffLines:

* ArtEvolution: The game is notably where ZUN debuted his now modern artstyle, as it was the first game where he properly did outlines for the character sprites. The result is far more consistent anatomy and cleaner art overall.


Added DiffLines:

* ExcusePlot: By the admission of WordOfGod, the game's story is ultimately more a reason to introducing the Myouren Temple CastHerd than creating a coherent narrative.

Minor edit, but since the Touhou games are in the Franchise namespace and they are so popular, may as well say it's a franchise instead of just a series.

''Touhou Seirensen ~ Undefined Fantastic Object'' is a video game created by Team Shanghai Alice for Windows computers in 2009. It's the twelfth installment in the ''Franchise/{{Touhou}}'' series.

Reimu Hakurei, Marisa Kirisame and Sanae Kochiya are investgating a strange flying object in the sky.

The game features the colored UFO mechanic. By collecting saucers of a different color, the player can get more life pieces, bombs, or point bonuses.

The game's official website can be found [[http://www16.big.or.jp/~zun/html/th12top.html here]] (in Japanese).

!!This game provides examples of:
* BreakingTheFourthWall:
** Kogasa appears on the disc in an attempt to surprise you.
** In Sanae's scenario, she mistakes the Power items for secret treasures.
* FlyingSaucer: Part of the system involves collecting small [=UFOs=] from certain enemies that carry them. Upon collecting a red, blue and green one or three of the same color, a large UFO appears, abducts all items onscreen, and tries to fly offscreen. The saucer drops rewards upon defeat - the loot varies depending on the UFO's color and how much it absorbed.
* GameBreakingBug: Reaching 1 billion points would up and crash the game. A patch was released to fix this 12 days after release.
* HeartbeatSoundtrack: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FrIbeivp_fs Stage 6 theme]] has this. Probably counts as a MythologyGag to the PC-98 games, since ZUN wanted to do the ''Mystic Square'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lt3xlTwT3U stage 6 theme]] with [[http://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Mystic_Square:_Music heartbeat sounds.]]
* RecurringRiff: Stage 6 theme ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FrIbeivp_fs Fires of Hokkai]]'' is based on ''Mystic Square'' Stage 6 theme ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lt3xlTwT3U World's End]]''.
