My guess for the theme is Tarot Cards and fortune telling. Mainly because double dealing makes me think of cards and character could refer to the images on Tarot cards. They're also used for fortune telling. I think the last boss could be a 1000 year old fortune teller who has the power to control people's fate.

It also originated in europe, and Sakuya & the Scarlet Devil Mansion are involved here and they're very victorianesque like. Not only that, Remilia also can manipulate fate thus she could be sending Sakuya to deal with that character who can also control fate because she feels threatened by it.

I think double dealing could refer to the King and Queen decks in cartomancy. Not only that, the boss in a screenshot used what i think is heart shaped danmaku. I think the four characters will each represent each card suite. Coins/diamond, swords/spades, heart/cup, and Wands/clubs.

Reimu- coins
Marisa- wands
Sakuya- Swords

OP here. And new unknown character is a relative of Orin representing the Queen of Hearts. As her description on wikipedia says.

Queen of Hearts:A woman over 18, with sandy, dark blond, or light brown hair, with brown, blue or hazel eyes. Usually a family member or other loved one. Maternal and family-oriented.

Am i the only one noticing the character in the card and she being paper stripped. But anyways, I think the score gimmick has something to do with channeling power from the Tarot cards or spirits held within them. I think it could relate to what the fortune telling monster of the week did in Sailor Moon episode 2.

Double Dealing character. What if it's related to mirrors instead, because that looks more like Reimu's reflection. So mirror world gimmick then.

Mh, but for that the mirror seems to be too important, since mirrors can have really deep meanings? Your guess isn't bad, though. Maybe both play a role. It would even be possible, if ZUN had implemented alternative routes in this game like he had in HRtP or IN. After all ZUN had written that the characters could either, stick to their weapons or abandon them - Maybe it's presented in form of a path select choice after stage X and depending on which choice is being made, the mirror or the tarot cards get more meaningful in the later stages.

The mirror would probably be important when the character sticks to her own individual weapon and then has to face off the youkai that is possessing it. Abandoning the weapon would lead to an alternative path in which the player meets the fortune teller you mentioned - Probably telling the character that she will choose the other path (making it a bad and also silly ending which ZUN is known for implementing).

According to this page, http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yata_no_Kagami

Mirrors represented the truth and they merely shown a reflection. Th eight handed mirror is a symbol of wisdom and honesty. So maybe a character who can see the real truth in someone.
