Most main games in the series revolve around an 'incident' that occurs, ranging from harmless curiosities like flying ships, to concerning events such as land-smothering mists, to threats to Gensokyo itself like otherworldly invasions. Although much of Gensokyo reflects an antiquated Japanese society, most games in the series take place in the real-life year of their release, with a steady continuity and the gradual introduction of more Outside World technology and concepts as the years go on. Created in response to the waning belief in such entities by modern humans and the advancement of technology, Gensokyo was (mostly) isolated from the outside world by a boundary of fantasy and common sense in the 1800s, creating a region where humans and youkai live in delicate balance to maintain co-existence. The basic story of the setting is set in the land of Gensokyo, a Fantastic Nature Reserve hidden in the mountains of Japan, and the various humans, youkai, gods, and other mythological creatures living there. Some fans call him Kannushi (Head Priest), though. It's also outstanding in that despite the name 'Team Shanghai Alice', the entirety of the main games, including the sprite graphics, 3D graphics, character portraits, dialogue, story, music composition, programming, bullet-patterns, and concept, are all done by one guy, known as 'ZUN.' note His real name is Jun'ya Ota. Little Miss Badass, Cute Monster Girl, or Cute Witch, and wears some degree of Lolita clothing.
