Oh wait I've seen something just like that in a previous Jam. That's a sequel isn't it!

And sure enough, I like this VN as much as the first game - what that was there I find it here. Cozily sitting at the bar, casually speaking of people and the world. And yet again, there's natural and smooth world-building through the topics. I love it. Especially how there's canon Touhou lore mixed with plenty of this fangame lore, into a coherent headcanon of sorts. In other words, majestic Touhou derivative story.

So yet again, awesome work. The writing, the art, the musical arranges (hot damn I wasn't ready for the credits song) got me fully immersed for 40 minutes.

Thank you, Thank you! I'm glad you liked it.

I put a lot of effort into trying to make this vision of a modern day Gensokyo feel real through the dialogue. I'm a big fan of diagetic dialogue, so I tried to make everything as diagetic as possible. I'm glad it paid off.

If this sort of writing style interests you, we are working on a Cyberpunk Visual Novel called Code.Breaker(), which I am the main writer for. A lot of what I have learned from Houou ga Gotoku went into that game as well. It also features chill hang-out scenes where you get to talk to the characters about them, others and the world. It's still in development, but maybe worth a look if you like what we did here? The artist for Tsuki ga Gotoku also works with me on Code.Breaker().
