Welcome to Touhou community on lemmy.world.

Touhou Project is a series of shoot 'em up games created by ZUN. This game series has fostered a vibrant and imaginative fandom, giving rise to numerous fan-made creations such as music arrangements, illustrations, manga, anime, and conventions.

The Touhou universe primarily revolves around Gensokyo. Within Gensokyo, the canon games feature recurring main characters who resolve various incidents. These characters include Reimu Hakurei, a powerful miko, and Marisa Kirisame, a human magician.

Touhou characters are predominantly female and encompass a wide array of folkloric Japanese monsters coexisting within Gensokyo.

I remember playing on PC. It feels so weird but also good to see Touhou fan games exploding to the point you can sell them in the West and they are popular enough to make it to a physical GameStop.

This is really cool. In Japan, you can more easily see Touhou ads for mobile games on regular tv (well, on otaku channels) and iirc they had made a short survey at school and some kids (7-10y) could recognize cirno or flandre, via meme, music video and mobile games.

But to see it physical is nice (I recall seeing some second hand ps4 touhou discs in thrift store some years ago)
