▍About Touhou Shoujo Tale of Beautiful Memories
Set in the fictional land of Gensokyo, resident youkai exorcist and shrine maiden Reimu Hakurei sets off on an adventure to put a stop to a mysterious rampage of fairies terrorizing the realms. Joined by her friends(?), it’s up to them to get to the bottom of the cause.
The game incorporates an isometric look inspired by the SNES classic Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. Boasting an expansive world with plenty to see, Touhou Shoujo gives players a different, more isometric perspective of Gensokyo like no other fangame does. A definite recommendation for fans of the series, as the game is chock-full of references from the original Touhou Project titles!

Though the splash arts may be…distracting, the game is a neatly made turn-based RPG, incorporating mechanics such as dodging bullets and firing projectiles of your own into the puzzle and combat segments of the game. Like its inspiration, timing your every move is key as attacking and defending in fights require well-timed button inputs to get the best outcomes.
Choose between 6 beloved Touhou characters with different attributes and skills that require different button presses. The game boasts a massive cast of characters dotting the world as merchants to area bosses.
Dash and jump to avoid enemies, or shoot them down from far! Tackle unique puzzles and mini-games as you explore the world using platforming and skills to uncover hidden paths or get into humorous interactions with the other residents of the world.
