The Disappearing Of Gensokyo is the first Touhou fangame on Steam

永远消失的幻想乡 ~ The Disappearing of Gensokyo

"The Disappearing of Gensokyo" is a Touhou Project doujin game from MyACG Studio, a Chinese doujin game fan circle. We have re-imagined Touhou as an ARPG, creating this "Danmaku-Shooting-ARPG". We hope this game will be a good experience for those who are both new and knowledgeable of Touhou!

The Japanese mega-franchise that is Touhou has had a good time on Steam lately, with the latest main game in the series debuting to massive sales and user-reviews to match, and the most recent spinoff fighting game making a splash despite its Japanese-language-only release.

What I wasn’t expecting was for commercial Touhou fangames to make their presence known so soon. Available now on Steam from Chinese indie team MyACG Studio is The Disappearing Of Gensokyo, an action-RPG/twin-stick shooter hybrid starring the iconic cast of the shmup series. And it’s in (patchy) English, too.
