I am seiga kaku uses her amazing taoist arts and gives you a life lesson

I have converted to Taoism, I am happy :3

This game has truly set me on the path of Taoism. 10/10

there is a cute little girl in my computer that explains taoist principles and makes me feel happy :D

Unironically a really really good introduction to Taoism, and what i feel is a fairly accurate depiction of Seiga, i'm very happy with what i've seen.

I was going to leave a review when I felt I was finished reading the book, but I realise that I might never fully finish reading it at any point in my life. So, here is my review right now: this game is perfect and absurdly cheap. I don't remember if I picked up a second annotated copy before or after playing this (that copy being A Minimalist Translation By Bruce R. Linnell), but not only has the book itself been very helpful (if not already reflecting a lot of the philosophies I already held), but learning about the translation of the ancient book and the different ways people can read it is fantastic. The parts of Touhou inspired by a lot of ancient history and mysticism are one of the best parts of the series as a whole, and this game provides a thorough take on a singular part of that- only to demonstrate that there are a lot of factors at play and a lot to learn. This game is outstanding from the persepctive of an oridnary consumer, and it is even better from the perspective of an upcoming or returning Touhou fan. Back to reading (but only when I feel like it~).

I used to want to study the Daodejing and Daoism after playing Shinreibyou, but could never really sink my teeth into it... that is, until it was presented to me in a VN format by one of my favourite 2hus. This game really helped me start to understand the Dao, and ponder things like individual nature, virtue and harmony. It's an amazing, easily-accessible springboard into Eastern philosophy. Being priced at 0.99c gives it the impression of being just some throwaway gag, but this is a [b]whole, aptly annotated copy[/b] of the Daodejing with comprehensible and entertaining commentary / explanations. TL;DR: trusting The Evil Blue Lady Who Uses The Souls Of Miscarried Fetuses As Part Of Her Spellcards to give me a life lesson was one of the better decision I've made in a while.

I keep coming back to what changed my life forever...
