This is how it felt for me with Udongein X (although it was known to be a quality title before its Steam port). Many circles make one game and then disappear, yet here we are with a big upcoming project made by Bar Holographic Otaku who has proven they know rewarding game design. Touhou Artificial Dream in Arcadia mixes a lot of elements from known RPGs. The basic rules and dungeon-crawling of Shin Megami Tensei, the capturing of party members from Pokémon, and the sudden change to a danmaku shooter from Undertale during these captures. The result of this mixing has the potential to feel absolutely unique. The end product may also turn out to have a daunting size, but for now, here's a peek at the demo's boss, Utsuho Reiuji! yt:video:Nezau6XlsVY Nezau6XlsVY UCo-FZiX2l8I7yemVe8xSDXw Gesh86 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCo-FZiX2l8I7yemVe8xSDXw 2022-10-02T11:16:04+00:00 2023-06-15T00:02:07+00:00 Let's Take a Look at Touhou Blooming Chaos 2 Steam storepage: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1260810/2__Touhou_Blooming_Chaos_2/ Something seems to be pulling fangame creators to the roguelite subgenre. The first Touhou Blooming Chaos was a top-down action game and its sequel is enriching this approach with procedural and random elements. I was at first a little untrusting to its developer, but I've quickly caught on that they're serious about their projects. Plus, this game in particular features a lass that is likely to draw me to anything, just as she draws people's woes and curses to herself... yt:video:6rbHyzGifBI 6rbHyzGifBI UCo-FZiX2l8I7yemVe8xSDXw Gesh86 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCo-FZiX2l8I7yemVe8xSDXw 2022-08-29T16:17:29+00:00 2023-06-07T22:30:17+00:00 Let's Take a Look at Touhou Endless Dream - 2 / 2 Steam storepage: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1245540/Touhou_Endless_Dream/ It's been a really long time since I've mentioned MyACG studio, even though they've been busy with several new releases. Originally an Early Access title, Endless Dream is a much more humble game by them and a10a010 that seems to take on the "EX Rumia" fan myth and fleshes it out.

We haven't seen ladies this sultry since Touhou Shoujo Tale of Beautiful Memories. Hecataker was made by Warugaki (悪餓鬼) in 2021 and the name gives it all away: It's Helltaker meets Touhou.

Touhou 17.5 was released by Twilight Frontier (Tasofro) and Team Shanghai Alice in October 2021. It had its fair share of delays, making it actually younger than Touhou 18. This title is especially different from previous fighting games in that it concentrates fully on its story modes. Flandre Scarlet usually doesn't have much of a reason to leave her basement. Yet fate has it that she should play a big role in the incident surrounding the beast realm's matriarch and the underground petroleum.

Steam storepage: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1914970/_/ Help Me Remember, Satori-sama is a puzzle/quiz/thinking game released by ISY in March 2022. Satori must help her dear pet Utsuho remember a variety of items. The player's job is to guess the answer before Satori clocks out from over-exertion. It's the kind of game that reminds us we like to tell ourselves that we're smarter than we actually are. Such a reality check can be frustrating, but somehow, I want exactly that from time to time. Let's explore together how this title fares! yt:video:awt0Q5YtO0k awt0Q5YtO0k UCo-FZiX2l8I7yemVe8xSDXw Gesh86 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCo-FZiX2l8I7yemVe8xSDXw 2022-05-14T13:21:49+00:00 2022-05-21T09:26:41+00:00 Let's Rank the 17 Mysteries of World of Horror, Worst to Best! Steam storepage: https://store.steampowered.com/app/913740/WORLD_OF_HORROR/ It has come that time when I felt like I needed to make something unusual, even off-brand for you. World of Horror has been developed as Early Access in 2019 by indie-developer Panstasz and published by Ysbryd Games to overall very positive buzz. Said tag of unfinishedness is generally used quite sensibly here, as what we currently have is already very satisfying, yet justifies some rough edges. This title is an RPG borrowing elements from the western Lovecraftian mythology as well as the eastern equivalent of Junji Ito, and in the end fusing the two to throw you into an intimidating Japan facing the wrathful arbitration of Elder Gods. One could say that "Worst to Best" lists are plentiful on Youtube and therefore not inherently original. But I think this format is a great opportunity to condense the experience of dozens of hours of playtime into a video of digestible length. 00:00 Intro 02:04 Tranquilizing Tale of the Twilight TV Terror 04:09 Chilling Chronicle of a Crimson Cape 06:19 Freaky Feature of Found Footage 08:18 Sorrowful Saga of the Moonlight Sailors 10:04 Worrying Write-Up of a Wordless Ward 12:21 Bizarre Bruit of the Blood-Curdling Botanist 14:25 Horrible History of Household Hell 16:47 Far-Out Fable of a Fear Festival 19:21 Rotten Report of a Rancid Ramen 20:58 Curious Case of a Contagious Coma 22:42 Spine-Chilling Story of School Scissors 25:07 Alarming Account of Abnormal Arms 27:40 Bloody Brief of a Beckoning Bulletin 29:36 Perilous Parable of the Peculiar Painting 32:07 Eerie Episode of Evolving Eels 33:59 Macabre Memoir of Morbid Mermaids 36:23 Vicious Verses of a Violent Vigil 39:32 Outro yt:video:rnwVQR33w3o rnwVQR33w3o UCo-FZiX2l8I7yemVe8xSDXw Gesh86 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCo-FZiX2l8I7yemVe8xSDXw 2022-04-01T09:18:27+00:00 2023-06-09T14:13:34+00:00 Let's Take a Look at Touhou Fan of Destiny (April Fools Special) Here's a Touhou game that absolutely no one is talking about anymore.

While not every action-platformer with a ranged weapon as standard is automatically a copy of the Blue Bomber, many are wearing their influences unsubtly or even proudly. MegaMari, Rock Maiden, Bakartet X, Touhou Koukayaku The Game, Ghost Hunter Reimu, Sanae Toumaden X...that's a long list. Younger than most of these titles is Bar Holographic Otaku's Udongein X (Cross). I heard this one originally came out on itch.io. After you've consumed many or all of the above games, is there still a reason to try this one? Let's find out! yt:video:McpduD4sEGg McpduD4sEGg UCo-FZiX2l8I7yemVe8xSDXw Gesh86 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCo-FZiX2l8I7yemVe8xSDXw 2022-01-19T21:22:44+00:00 2023-06-08T11:55:49+00:00 Let's Take a Look at Kubinashi Recollection Steam storepage: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1635980/Kubinashi_Recollection/ Nintendo storepage: https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/kubinashi-recollection-switch/ Kubinashi Recollection is a Touhou fangame developed by Paradot ( 給食頭蛮) and published by Phoenixx Inc. in 2021, and was brought over to Steam on PC and Nintendo Switch later that year. The footage shown is from the Steam version. At first, this title might look very plain. It also uses very few buttons. But the amount of gimmicks introduced throughout Sekibanki's journey throughout the Dream World makes it a very challenging puzzle-platformer in the end. But does that mean only masochists and absolute brainiacs will enjoy it? We'll find out over the course of the video! yt:video:D3XnBb6Akus D3XnBb6Akus UCo-FZiX2l8I7yemVe8xSDXw Gesh86 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCo-FZiX2l8I7yemVe8xSDXw 2021-12-11T19:53:42+00:00 2023-06-12T15:58:27+00:00 Let's Take a Look at Touhou Genso Wanderer - Lotus Labyrinth R Steam storepage: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1005120/Touhou_Genso_Wanderer_Lotus_Labyrinth_R/ A few years ago, Touhou Genso Wanderer was one of the pioneers of Touhou fangames getting official localizations as well as making it onto consoles. Its definitive edition (Reloaded) followed with additional content. With Lotus Labyrinth R coming to Steam (May), PS4 and Switch (both September) in 2021, we've finally received a sequel. Except I believe it's chronologically set before Genso Wanderer, making it a prequel. Also, it's actually a remake of an even older game by Aquastyle, so I think I'll slice off a piece from Borderlands and call it a pre-sequel. yt:video:_jZlwkQvnFY _jZlwkQvnFY UCo-FZiX2l8I7yemVe8xSDXw Gesh86 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCo-FZiX2l8I7yemVe8xSDXw 2021-12-03T12:41:24+00:00 2023-06-11T14:01:58+00:00 Tenshi Hinanawi Successfully Bags an Easy Iku Nagae in Lotus Labyrinth R Wording?

Among them all, this pixel RPG starring the Three Fairies of Light developed by yomogi_soft and published by Phoenix Inc. seems to be the most overlooked. Perhaps that was justified? Or are we unearthing a gem here?
