Release: ???
Language: English(Patch)
Number of Players: Up to 5
Description
What it is: A simple Warcraft III Co-op Hero Defense map designed for avid touhou fans.

How it Works: Wave after wave of enemies will come and attempt to destroy the gate to Remilia's mansion. Your job, along with your friends, is to prevent them from succeeding by holding the line for two and a half hours.

Heroes/Girls: Very limited selection in this one. Understandable since there can only be up to five players in any one game (Not including the observers). Each girl has a specific and stereotypical purpose in any team combination.

Item/Recipes: The banners east of the central fountain holds the recipes for every craftable item. The merchants south west of the fountain and far south of the gate holds the purchasable items. (You can't buy items from banners, they only show the resulting items and their recipes)

Skills: There is a telepad close north of the fountain, use that to access the skill library. Skills are bouught and leveled with power. Power is obtained by leveling up or buying from the fountain.

Monster Waves: Becomes progressively harder as each one arrives. Do your best to prepare for each wave using items and your small arsenal of abilities.

Installation: This one's pretty simple. Just drop the file in the "Maps" subfolder located in your Warcraft III folder.(This is often located in 'C:\Program Files\[Name of folder]' unless installed or put elsewhere)


A Really Big Tip: It's practically impossible to win this game alone even with singleplayer cheats. You'd need at least one partner to tag along.

Description
The Last Comer is a standard Touhou game, featuring 6 bosses and an Extra. It also features cameos from a variety of sources and original characters. The music was composed by WanWan and is therefore awesome. The main plot point is Christianity. The rest is for you to discover while you play through.
Plot Point: A meteor has landed in Gensokyo, so girls go and investigate.
How It Works: This game is special because of its Grudge gauge. Stars fall from the sky gradually as you progress through a stage. When the gauge is full, you gain invincibility and deal massive damage + effects based on your player character. Reimu, Marisa, and Sakuya are playable.

  Clear Data (included in download)
This goes in your Sengoku Gensokyo -> Save folder. Also, it doesn't overwrite saved game data, it just flags the game as cleared, unlocking the extra stuff:
* National Mode
* Difficulty Select for Story Mode
* Extras Section   Description
Plot Point: Yukari has distributed a letter throughout all of Gensokyo, setting rules for a team-based wargame for those who are bored of nothing but typical spell card rules, promising to grant any one wish for the team who wins.  Those who are weak individually but strong in a group decide this provides an excellent opportunity; others simply want to prove their points; still others want the promised wish.  But, for only the second time in Touhou history (the first being "Labyrinth of Touhou"), the entire Touhou cast is involved...because now, Gensokyo is at WAR.
How It Works:  This is a point-and-click strategy game (left-click to confirm, right-click to cancel); in the main Story Mode, generally speaking, you play the role of the Hakurei Shrine faction, and declare war, battle against, and capture the other factions' territories until you win by having the entire map under your control.  For all the details you could possibly need, go grab the Instruction Pack from the Extras section on the left.  This game may look something like "Risk" at first glance, but trust me: 1) it plays nothing like it, and 2) it takes a lot longer (Story Mode does, anyway).
Want Extras?
Clear the game.  Simply clearing the main Story Mode game unlocks all of the following:
* National Mode.  A setup that emulates a multiplayer experience; all regions start off occupied, and factions are no longer concerned only with you; they'll attack each other now as well.  National Mode comes with the bonus characters on the left (and thus some bonus factions, as well), and lots of ways to tweak things; you can set how many and which factions will be present and change their starting memberlists, and you also get to play as any faction you'd like.  National Mode can use characters you've created yourself in the game's Extras section.  To get to it, click "Start" on the main menu, and it will now ask you which mode you'd like to play (Story Mode or National Mode).
* Difficulty Select for Story Mode.  Was the default setting of Normal too easy for you?  Now when you start a new Story Mode game, it will ask if you'd still like to play Normal, or if you'd prefer Hard or Lunatic.
* Extras Section.  Check out the CG art, videos, and character art; you've also earned the right to tweak the statistics of the characters you can hire in both Story and National Modes, and can also create new characters for use in National Mode.  (When you start a new game, regardless of mode, it will ask you whether you'd like to use the official default data, or the edited data you tweaked.)

Description
What it is: It's simply a "Defense of the Ancients" clone with some extra content which differentiate it from the original game.

How it works: It is based on DotA, thus it is played in a similar manner. The goal of both sides is to make it to the opposing team's shrine and utterly destroy it however way possible.

Heroes/Girls: You are given a choice among 62 unique girls from the original game to represent the shrine you are assigned to. You directly control/command her, allowing you to utilize her abilities however way you wish.

Items: Weird. Just weird. These are used to help boost your  survivability in battle in a number of ways. Each Item is unique and it's important to note how some items are more compatible with your girl than others.

Neutral Monsters: Mostly fairies, really. You'll notice though that most of the regular neutral monsters you find are tributes to original Warcraft III characters, while others being iconic representations of fan culture and such.   Installation: This one's pretty simple. Just drop the file in the "Maps" subfolder located in your Warcraft III folder.(This is often located in 'C:\Program Files\[Name of folder]' unless installed or put elsewhere)

Plot Point: Patchouli gets tired of Marisa stealing her books, so she creates an army of sentient puppets based on the residents of Gensokyo to guard her library. Marisa steals the information needed to create her own army of the puppets, and in a fit, Patchouli destroys both armies and the knowledge of how to create them. The puppets recreate and fill Gensokyo, becoming akin to pets.
How It Works: Since these are a set of Pokemon clones, the gameplay should feel familiar. The player starts off with a puppet and gathers more along the way, fighting their way through a series of dungeons and gyms before reaching the Elite Four and becoming the Champion. The same types have been kept, since these are the 1.5x versions of Touhoumon. World Link corresponds to Emerald, Another World and Puppet Play to Fire Red, and Marisa's Magic World to Ruby.

F12: Shutdown Game Description
Plot Point: Everyone's favorite Ordinary Magician, Marisa Kirisame, decides to head to the Hakurei Shrine to pester Reimu. But when she arrives, everything is quiet and the shrine is locked down. Sensing an incident in the air, Marisa takes to the sky. 4 different scenarios await her as she fights to uncover those responsible for the incident and heads to an epic battle that will decide the fate of Gensokyo. The story is a well done and thought provoking masterpiece that challenges what we think and feel about the mythical land.
How It Works: Concealed the Conclusion is a 2D vertical shooting game. It plays much like Imperishable Night. Marisa is the only playable character but has four different shot types to choose from. Some fans would be pleased to know that Love Sign, Penetration Type is featured with everyone's favorite rainbow colored beam of destruction, Master Spark. Each shot type also determines which scenario is chosen. Just like the Official Touhou Games, there are six stages to fight through. An extremely important note concerns the player's hitbox. In this game, it is a lot smaller than the Official games. But, the hitboxes of almost everything else(bullets, knives, falling cats, lasers, Klondike bars) are bigger to balance it out.
Hakurei Orbs: This is one of the most important items in the game. Just like the time orbs in Imperishable Night, they are awarded for different tasks. Capturing Spell Cards, grazing bullets and destroying bullets all award these orbs. Last Spells also make an appearance, if enough orbs have been collected. But, the most important purpose of the Hakurei Orbs is that they decide how much time a player gets to fight the final boss.
((Thanks to Dratini Farmer for writing this!))   Hakurei Items
Hakurei items collected to increase spell card bonuses, gain extra points at the end of each stage, unlock Last Spells, and extend the time limit for the Stage 6 boss fight. They are gained by capturing Spell Cards, destroying bullets with the Hakurei orbs, and grazing. Unfocused grazing yields 1 Hakurei item, but when the Hakurei gauge is full, any grazing will give three. Bombing reduces the player's Hakurei by 3%, while dying will reduce it by 9%, or 18% if the Hakurei gauge was full.

The Hakurei Gauge appears around Marisa's sprite and will fill as you take ungrazed actions such as shooting or grazing. When the gauge is full, you can fire Hakurei orbs to turn bullets into Hakurei items. The first press releases the orb, while the second detonates it. Missing will result in an almost complete drain of the gauge. Launching the orb costs 1% of your gauge. Bombing puts a 20% penalty on the gauge. Dying, death-bombing, or failing a Last Spell will cause it to reset and disable it for 6 seconds after the invincibility period, rendering you unable to collect Hakurei items.

Plot Point: Utsuho has been spotted away from her post in the nuclear reactor.  This worries everyone's favorite engineer, who takes it upon herself to check up on the bird-brained girl.

How It Works: Is it or is it not about time someone made a game starring Nitori where your solutions lie in expert gadget usage to solve puzzles?  That's exactly what this is, and if you hated the boring feel and isometric perspective of Maristice, exactly what you've been pining for - Nitori starts with 5 Life and some weapon energy (which recharges itself), and finds both expansions for these and a whole lot of Tools that give her an increasing amount of ability - not only do you get a way to stun enemies (the Stinky Ball), but you also get useful tools from a Drill and some Bombs for getting through pesky destructible blocks, to her famous Extending Arm for grappling, to seemingly game-breaking tools like the Wall-Walk Shoes (they do exactly what you think) and the Water Jet (which also does exactly what you think).  Even the boss fights are mostly puzzle-based, solutions lying in forcing bosses to fall into their own traps or otherwise damage themselves (only the world 4 & 5 bosses are actual damage-them-to-death fights). 

Please Note: Though you do get a ton of helpful tools, and there're save points and signs with hints or other info all over the place, remember that although the game has a light atmosphere and starts easy enough to get you accustomed, it actually quickly becomes difficult, none of the tools are optional and multi-room puzzles are commonplace even early on.  The endgame is constructed ingeniously to make you use every tool you own in order to earn the last one and get to the final boss.

World 5 is a Bonus: If you collect 15 UFOs for Nue, she'll unlock World 5, which is a lengthy, self-contained challenge world - upon entering, you lose all your tools and must re-collect them within that world as part of the challenge (although if you choose to leave World 5 and go somewhere else, you'll get your tools back until you return), and will face Kaizo Mario-level challenge as you're forced to push your tool usage ingenuity to the maximum!

(Cirno)

For you people who know the game "Intelligent Qube" and liked it. This game is for you.
Description
There are nine stages and completing them all will unlock "Extra" mode. In extra mode, everything is the same EXCEPT your camera will not be a bird's eye 3rd person view. It will be at eye level behind Cirno in 3rd person. This severely increases difficulty and inhibits your ability. The only way to see a top view of the blocks at this point is to speed up blocks.

As you play the game, you'll be rewarded with coins which can be spent on several things.

* 3 Coins: Pause (If you do not have enough coins, the screen will go opaque)
* 30 Coins: Continue
* 15 Coins: Enhanced Mine (Press and Hold Z then X to change your normal Mine into an Enhanced Mine. This will also reduce your I.⑨ by 1.)   Plot Point
In the wet and cold lands of Misty Lake.  There lives a ice fairy named Cirno.  On a whim, she decides to partake in a game where it will determine whether she is a cretin or an ingenious sprite.

How it Works The goal of the game is simple.
* Destroy all of the blocks aside from the black-colored Forbidden Blocks.

* Destroying a green cube will place an Enhanced Mine where the cube was destroyed.  It will then leave a marked green spot in which you can detonate for a 3x3 explosion with it at its center.

* You will be penalized for destroying Forbidden Cubes or allowing other cubes to pass you and fall off the edge of the stage.
        - For each Forbidden Cube you destroy, a row of the stage will crumble.
        - For each set number of other cubes you let pass you, a row of the stage will crumble.

* You will be granted an additional row onto the stage if you manage to clear a wave of cubes flawlessly (no Forbidden Cubes destroyed and all other cubes destroyed).

* Getting crushed by the cubes will cause them to speed towards the end of the stage, only stopping for when you set off a mine, ultimately causing you to lose your Perfect completion bonus as well as possible rows due to failing to capture the remaining cubes.

* Completing the round above the limited turns will not cause a negative affect on the game.  It will only reduce your end IQ score.

* Once you destroy a block, the limit turn will start ticking so this gives you time to plan your moves.

*  The game is over if you fall off the edge of the stage.

Description
閃光映夜祭 ～ Project Nite Festival is a Flash shmup that parodies two well known Touhou games, Imperishable Night and Mountain of Faith.
The game should be noted for being easier than the games it is based off of, yet still having the same controls, and, in the later levels, the same music.
Stages includes 6 normal play stages, an extra stage and a hidden phantasm stage.
One can also notice that the main characters that you use are named after various Animation Groups, like Clairvoyance, and, in the Extra Stage, Locker Room Productions.

Spellcard Collection (and its sequel) are games where you fight against spell cards of various Touhou bosses. These range from easy to absurdly difficult, and there is a wide variety of attacks and bosses to choose from.

This game is notable for being a case where a Japanese developer (Shijimi Nono) released his games directly to the Western Touhou Community (in this case, via Bulletforge).

To remove save data, remove all of the contents of the replay folder, and remove the SCC_package_ files from the data folder. This will remove all spell history and replays.

How it Works: The doll will move on its own from left to right. You must help it traverse gaps, spikes, and lasers using tetris-styled pieces and bombs to get the key to the door. Keep in mind that the doll can climb one block up, and there are enemies to watch out for. And take care not to squish the doll. It's sad. ;w;

Menu: Since the game is  mainly in Japanese, it can be difficult to find what's what. Your first selection will bring you to the different game modes. The second selection will bring you to free mode and a stage editor. The third selection brings you to the music room and gallery. The fourth selection is the options. The final selection will exit your game.

AKA Touhou Soujinengi Shuumatsu - The Genius of Sappheiros Weekend
Character Information
Playable Characters: 12
These characters are all unlocked during the story, but Byakuren & Mokou can be unlocked earlier, if certain conditions are fulfilled...
(Reimu, Sanae, Aya, Marisa, Patchouli, Sakuya, Nitori, Alice, Satori, Youmu, Byakuren, Mokou)

Expansion Characters
The following 5 characters can only be used after you unlock them in the Expansion-only content. "???" is a Genius of Sappheiros original character.
(Yuugi, Cirno, Reisen, Remilia, and ???)
 
Description
Plot Point: It's a normal day in Gensokyo when Reimu Hakurei notices a strange fog rolling in. All across Gensokyo, residents witness this fog weakening and killing a great many lesser youkai. At the behest of Yukari Yakumo, she joins forces with Marisa Kirisame, Sanae Kochiya, and Aya Shameimaru to investigate the fog's appearance... (from Touhou wiki)
How it Works: You choose a party of 5 characters, with a 6th character, the Commander, helping out via support abilities. You head though various dungeons (also called Stages) and fight enemies in turn-based RPG-style combat. As you win battles you gain experience and level up, sometimes learning abilities. However, you also earn "Power" as you level up, and these points can be put, and taken out of, into 14 different categories (4 personal, 4 weapon-types, and the 6 stat types) to increase your stats or learn other abilities.   Extra EXTRA notes

Unlocking Fujiwara no Mokou early: After visiting Akyuu for the first time, talk to her again. The Bamboo Forest maze will appear to the west; head there, and travel through the forest in accordance with the Konami Code (Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right) to find Mokou.
Unlocking Byakuren Hijiri early: Head to Myouren-Ji, the building in the southeast where Minamitsu Murasa is standing. Wait in this building for a full hour of real time and a cutscene will trigger in which Byakuren will join.

You do not need to visit the SDM, Stage 1, (or visit Akyuu for Byakuren) to unlock those characters. However, it must be noted that the player must visit Akyuu once more after getting the recipes in order to unlock Mokou. Also, they will automatically join your party right before stage 9 (Mokou) and 11 (Byakuren) respectively if you do not recruit them before then.

Description
Plot Point: Marisa has been caught in Patchouli's library yet again, and this time her response was of epic proportions: having evidently learned from the game "MegaMari" that merely turning the library into a castle isn't enough, she's decided to go all-out to eliminate our beloved book-borrower from her library once and for all - she's hired tons of high-tech help and enchanted the place so Marisa can't use her spell cards!  This forces Marisa to respond in kind by taking up arms and hiring her own small troop of fairy helpers.  With guns that have abilities linked to her friends, it's time to stop Pachouli's madness and make a safer future for books!
How It Works: Its a 3rd-person shooter, meaning you'll be looking at Marisa's back as well as the hordes of enemies that dare to stand against her, you are also given a small group of fairies to help you early on. The Mission objectives aren't disclosed, but range from "survive" to "kill all enemies."  The controls are like a Computer FPS; the A/S/D/W keys moves Marisa around, and you aim with the mouse.
Extra Notes: Put item acquisition on the top of your priority list: you need all the help you can get later on.   Hat: Little Marisa hats are dropped by killing the enemies around you.  These each permanently increase your Max HP by 1 point.     Gold Mushrooms: Gold Mushrooms are healing items (Who would have guessed that? I mean seriously, you only play as Marisa).     Blue Boxes: This is Important! Boxes contain new weapons, which you can use starting in the next stage.  Remember, the harder the Stage settings are, the better your weapons are, and Marisa likes very powerful weapons !  ^.^

When you right click them, you'll be asked if you want to set options (first choice) or close that pet (second choice).  In the configuration options are choices that are unique to each girl; you can set how fast they move, how fast they dizzy-spin, and if they have a special double-click option (like Youmu taking out/sheathing her swords or Nitori using her opti-camo), you can disable it, or in some cases set a special option for it (like how well Nitori's opti-camo works).

Stage 4 Boss
- Green and blue outlined bullets flicker in and out as they move.
- During the 1st and 2nd spellcards, she attacks with familiars shaped as the 2 characters you aren’t playing as and in the last spellcard she attacks with your doppelganger. Stage 5 Boss
- Uses bubbles during her spellcards as her gimmick which serve a important purpose to your survival and her defeat. Stage 6 Boss
- Spawns fairies during her spellcards to attack you.
- In her final spell, she uses fairies and bubbles in conjunction. Extra Stage Boss
- The extra boss possesses a handful of weird gimmicks. First one is the use of bubbles. How original.
- Second, her nonspells have train-like wheels of bullets spinning across the screen.
- Third gimmick is that during one of her survival spells, she moves around, clips off existing bullets around her, and spawns them elsewhere.
- Fourth appears in her other survival spell. The bullets possess the same color as the background. (Reimu-Black, Marisa-White, Sanae-Rainbow) They won’t appear until they are within close proximity.
- Her final gimmick possesses an interesting twist that should only be learnt by yourself... Description
Plot Point: Suddenly, a small lake in Gensokyo turns into a decently-sized salty sea. Reimu, Marisa, and Sanae plunge into the depths to explore and find out what is causing the sea's expansion.
How it Works: Marine Benefit is a spinoff shooter game and so plays as any Touhou games, except for the addition of special new mechanics.

Unique Gameplay Mechanics
Hydrogen and Oxygen System: The Hydrogen and Oxygen System is your way of earning bombs and extra lives in this game. The Hydrogen (Blue) bar is your way of getting bombs and is increased by small and large H items. The Oxygen (Orange) bar is your way of getting lives and is increased by small and large O items. Both are also increased by grazing bullets. The latter method can be abused in a few stages to gain tons of resources and make this game ridiculously easy, even though it is a somewhat a difficult game. The Hydrogen bar is also your POC in this game, and it moves up and down, so adjust your strategy accordingly.

Description
Plot Point: Remilia gets bored, so she decides to hold an "event" for more or less, Reimu & Marisa. Whomever can reach Remilia first, by walking through the EoSD stages, gets a prize. Reimu and Aya team up, while Marisa takes Alice with her.
How it Works:This game is a visual novel, so their isn't actually much gameplay. You read text/listen to the voices, and choose one out of two options every now and then. One choice will always give you a "Bad Ending" while the other let's you continue on in the story (besides when you select Reimu or Marisa).
Extra Notes: To Save anywhere in the game, hold the "Shift" key, and press any of "F1-F12". To Load these files just press the "F1-F12" without holding Shift.   EoSD for the Busy Extra
Plot Point: Like the first game, but with noticeably more Flandre. That is all. It's a completely different game, by the way. Not an expansion or whatever.
Extra Notes: You can still save and load in the same manner as the first game. You can enable "Fast Voices" by entering in the Konami Code when you first start up the game, during the Kasugasoft logo. If you do it right you'll hear a tone.(Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A)

*My New Manual is included, but is seperatedly downloadable here too in case you're considering getting it but want all the details before downloading. It's far more helpful than the old English-translated manual and offering it seperately here sees to it that I can keep the detaied stuff off this page.
*CharaGraphs: Included in the game download is not one but all seven CharaGraph packs I previously offered separately (in the Spare CharaGraphs folder), and my own ModPack with names and tags is already inn the main CharaGraph folder as the default set.   Description
Plot Point:  A strange dimensional pocket has appeared above the Scarlet Devil Mansion.  Its appearance is very menacing, and it feels like it's bad news.  Our girls go inside to investigate why it's there and who's behind it.
How It Works:  It's a classic dungeon-crawling game in the style of "Dragon Warrior."  You prepare in Gensokyo, then head down into the dungeon to explore, battle, and find treasure until you're unable to continue further and decide to warp back to town.  Relay Points allow you to start from further in.
Extra Notes:  There are two font files included in the download, which you need to install to your Windows -> Fonts folder; also, this game will run without AppLocale, but if you want the fun Kakupoptai font seen in the screenshots to display properly, you must bother to run it through AppLocale.

Z Slow character
X Bomb

Description
Plot Point: The exact same as the original game.
How it Works: Once you pick your character and shot type, you'll be taken to the first stage(again, just like the original). Your character will move forward  and fire on their own, so instead of moving forward and backward, you will move up and down. Just like in the original, easy mode has five stages while the rest of the difficulties have six.

The game was released on January 9, 2012 and comes with more significant features. The developer has adjusted the difficulties and bullet barrages. Now the bosses will be much more difficult to overcome and sometimes need more bomb than ever before. No more continues in EX Mode, additional BGM's and text for each stages. The biggest upgrade is visual effects where full 3D shaded has been applied and replacing cell shaded. Player can also switch between 3rd or 1st person view. For maximum effects the game also has FSAA option, but this will require high end graphic cards.

Sakuya, Koakuma, Patchouli, Remilia, Meiling, Alice, Flandre, and Komachi.

*Please Note: This game can be played with a Playstation controller.   Description
Plot Point: This game retells Embodiment of Scarlet Devil with the trademark red mist acting in the beginning as the catalyst for plot development; however, there are surprisingly many plot twists, character developments and cameo guest appearances from other games as well as portraying a prologue to Mountain of Faith's story. Altogether, the storyline is beautiful and much more rich in drama compared to the original Embodiment of Scarlet Devil.

How It Works:  This is a fantastic little SRPG done in the style of the "Super Robot Taisen" series.  It works like you would expect a traditional SRPG to, except with expected Touhou elements; for example, if an enemy puts up a danmaku field, your girls will take penalties if they wander in without Focusing first, which negates said penalties.  (Your girls can move much further per turn when Unfocused, of course.)  For each exchange you get into, you can also freely enable or disable the nicely-animated scenes (which take a while to load, but are well-done; I usually enable them for exchanges with bosses).  Super Robot Taisen's "Wife" System also makes an appearance in this game, enabling your girls to learn special abilities beyond normal skills.  Also available are things like upgrading your girls' stats and skills, and four difficulties to choose from (you can also pick Reimu or Marisa as the protagonist).  If you clear the game, it is planned to allow your game-clear save to be able to carry over to the game's future sequel.

Type: Vertical Bullet Hell Shooter
Developer: Studio Ramble & D.N.A. Softwares

Arrow Keys: Movement
Z: Fire / Select
X: Bomb
Shift: Focus Movement
Description
Moedan is a training game for newcomers to Touhou. You play as Flandre Scarlet and are given two spellcard options: Wide Shot and Linear Shot. Bombs clear bullets but do no damage. Alice Margatroid appears as a boss. The game is based on the player trying to clear spell cards, where each Spell Card have different patterns and provide players the opportunity to practice dealing with it. In each stage the player can earn silver medal by shooting down enough enemies/the boss within the time limit, or earn gold medal by surviving until the time runs out.
Story Mode
Story mode functions the same as the "Imperishable Night" Practice section. Flandre must clear 50 spellcards, but don't worry. There isn't a set order in which you must clear one, so you can always skip one you are having trouble with and go back to it later. If you time a spell card out, you get a gold medal instead of a silver one.

Freeplay Mode
Freeplay mode allows you to play the same spellcards from Story Mode, but you may add a few more options. You may increase the number of lives and bombs you start with, and you may choose as to whether or not to double the spellcard.

Language: English-Patched
Description
Shin Gyakuten Touhou, literally translated as True Turnabout in the Eastern, is a visual novel legal thriller adventure developed by すいかやさん featuring the cast of Touhou Project. The player assumes the role of Aya Shameimaru as a defense attorney to prove their clients not guilty using investigation, evidence, and cross-examination. Courtroom sessions are generally made up of testimonies consisting of statements by witnesses and Aya may cross-examine the witness to locate a contradiction by showing a piece of evidence. Shin Gyakuten Touhou is the completion of the original game (Comiket 74, 2008) with three primary cases and an extra trial where Aya faces overwhelming evidence as an unpopular celestial Tenshi is accused of stealing.

How it Works: If you've ever played the Pheonix Wright: Ace Attorney series then you'll be right at home here. If not, then know that it is a Text-based game. Text, as in, a lot of the game is reading, so yeah. This is the basic order of events; Crime is commited. Girl is arrested. Girl gets Aya to help prove that they're innocent. Aya goes around collecting evidence, and talking to witnesses. You go to court and listen to witness testimony. You try and use evidence to prove that they're lying/made a mistake. Rinse & Repeat, hope that truth prevails.
