About
Touhou: Fading Illusion is a visual novel set in Touhou Project universe that comprehensively describes Gensokyo and its inhabitants. Get ready to meet many of the series' iconic characters and travel to various locations in the Underworld, Gensokyo, Heaven, and even Outside World!
Throughout the ages, excessive curiosity has had a cruel cost. Once, the urge for the unknown made humans superior to animals, but the fear caused by this urge gave birth to the youkai, creatures that rose above mankind itself. Although both species have managed to find a way to coexist peacefully, even today modesty is still not in high favour. While technology is advancing at a rapid pace in the Outside World, the Gensokyo sages are falling deeper and deeper into the illusion of their own power, not realising that there may be something very different, deep, and extremely dense that even they should not touch. With each passing day, the prospect of its coming to light is gradually becoming a question of time.
Reimu is enjoying a warm spring day at her shrine, but her rest is interrupted by Yukari, who, in her manner, shows up unexpectedly and gives the shrine maiden an urgent task: Yukari wants Reimu to follow Sumireko at the festival at the Myouren Temple. The matter concerns the Hakurei Barrier, so Reimu has no choice but to go to the base of her rivals and hope that in the evening, Yukari deigns to explain everything that is happening.
Suitable for people unfamiliar with Touhou Project! A brief introduction to the universe in the free Prologue and an extensive in-game dictionary will keep newcomers from getting lost.

[h1] 免费白嫖的东方小精品,要啥自行车♥ [/h1] 半小时推完,确实短,两小时不到就能通。剧情说不上多惊艳,但悬疑感和伏笔埋得还行,结局收得稍微急了点。汉化里蹦出几句网络热梗确实有点出戏,像正喝着一碗热汤突然咬到颗沙子。 不过想想这是免费的东方同人视觉小说,立绘精致到能当壁纸,配乐氛围也在线,全程没有牛鬼蛇神的氪金入口——这年头这样的免费游戏真不多了。有老玩家说隔壁某大厂视觉小说卖几十块剧情还没这个走心,这么一想瞬间释然。 流程短是真的,但免费也是真的。适合东方粉丝当电子瓜子磕,或者午休摸鱼随便点点。给好评不是因为它完美,而是因为它把免费同人这个定位做明白了。 [h1] 鼓行天海外,转战蛮夷中。 -- 李云南征蛮诗 高适♥ [/h1]
Игра 'Touhou: Fading Illusion' — это восхитительное погружение в мир danmaku, где уклонение от потоков пуль становится искусством. Разработчики сумели сохранить дух серии, добавив свежие идеи, которые освежают геймплей. Визуальный стиль игры очаровывает своей детализацией и яркими красками, а саундтрек, как всегда, на высоте, погружая в атмосферу волшебства и напряжения. Сюжет, хоть и не претендует на лавры блокбастера, интригует и держит в напряжении до самого конца. Персонажи прописаны с любовью, каждый обладает уникальной историей и мотивацией. Уровни продуманы до мелочей, предлагают разнообразные испытания и заставляют применять разные тактики. Игра точно понравится всем поклонникам жанра, а новички найдут в ней отличный способ познакомиться с миром Touhou. Это действительно качественный и запоминающийся проект.

Because Touhou intellectual property is being used without any permission from the copyright holder, this is an attempt to profit from stealing the intellectual property of others and scam you out of YOUR money. This is not only unethical, but in many places around the world, it's a breach of criminal law. One DMCA takedown and this game is absolutely gone from Steam... so if you buy products from unethical developers, you're putting your money at risk.[/quote] "Touhou: Fading Illusion" isn't a game. It's an e-book dumped on Steam masquerading as a game. As a visual novel/e-book/fan-fiction, this has no notable gameplay. It's just clicking through badly written dialogue that would never be accepted in print by an actual professional publisher. How did something this badly written end up on Steam? When someone can't get published in print, they spend $100 and dump their high school fan-fiction onto Steam Direct under the guise of a game. This is possibly the cringiest Touhou fan-fiction ever written, a garbage train wreck about the author and his fantasy of dating Touhou girl characters as his imaginary anime girlfriends. It's cringe enough to make you throw up. Because this was put together with the Ren'Py e-book construction kit, it didn't require any actual coding or development. It's a tool for failed authors to push their garbage high school anime club dropout fanfictions as games. Just like there's no professional writing here, there isn't any professional software development either. Visual novels are tedious at best. Imagine the best novel you ever read, be that Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy or Twilight (kidding), but translate it to a format where you've to click your mouse for every single sentence instead of just turning pages. You'd think it was garbage. Now take that annoying clicking and add utterly cringey high-school anime club dropout writing to it. Real authors are published in print and found in Barnes & Noble. This garbage only ended up on Steam because they paid $100 to self-publish, because let's face it, professional publishers would not only reject this garbage they saw it, they'd take out restraining orders. E-books are just a collection of cringe writing and badly generated character imagery (usually done with a construction kit/image generator). So it might as well be a web page. We don't spend thousands on gaming rigs just to use them for what might as well be reading a website. A peak of 14 concurrent readers for a free visual novel/e-book is a disaster. Out of 130 million potential gamers, almost nobody was interested. That level of rejection speaks for how badly written this is. To put this into perspective, to satisfy the global demand for this book, you'd only ever need to print 14 copies. That's what failure looks like. To make matters worse, "Touhou: Fading Illusion" is still in Early Access, the developer has no time to finish it (untouched for 9 months!!!), but look, there's content (such as it is) locked behind paid DLC. Why? The answer is obvious: money. This isn't accidental. Games don't "Accidentally" get published as Early Access when they're complete. The developer knew what they were doing when they published an incomplete e-book, and instead of finishing it, went on to make paygated content. This is abuse of Steam Early Access and highly unethical. Worse, this is on a copyrighted product with permission only for non-commercial use. Genuinely professionally written novels and comics can be found at a public library or through websites like Project Gutenberg. Your PC isn't a Kindle, and I can't recommend non-game e-book visual novels to people looking for PC games.
