I Love the creepy representations of 2hus.
They are youkai, after all.

A supernatural mansion over an Ainu burial ground

The large amount of NEET energy building up inside from the residents would cause some sort of strange distortion where time never seems to pass and every day feels the same as the last. There would be all sorts of booby traps and secret passages and interesting tenants that range from a tad aloof to completely insane. Supernatural phenomena like feces trickling up walls and strange odors that seem to come from nowhere would be common.

Normals wouldn't be able to see the mansion and it would always be shrouded in mist. They would tell stories about how when the moon is full at 2am you can hear the chuckles of ghostly neckbeards echoing through the countryside.

I like her sister better. I don't think it's right to hate her because of her fanbase though.

Nitro+ and 07th Expansion

A cruel and merciless story about how the supposed 'dream world' Gensokyo is actually a harsh dystopia. Kinetic novel, no character routes, bad ends only.

An amnesiac youkai wakes up in the human world and hears about the wonderful world Gensokyo from shrine maiden Reimu Hakurei. Soon after, they enter Gensokyo to find out who the protagonist really is. However, Gensokyo seems completely different from what Reimu is used to, but Reimu still treats it as if it were a wonderland. The protagonist soon finds out that Reimu suffers from severe depression and is abusing drugs to see the world in a much brighter light. The protagonist tries to help Reimu quit drugs, but when she finally makes some progress, Reimu is brutally murdered by a youkai looking for an after-lunch snack. Although the protagonist manages to escape from the murderer, she is now alone in a world where nobody cares for each other, where she can't trust anyone, and where she is constantly fleeing from danger. In the end of the story, it is revealed that she was in the human world because she managed to escape the horrible world of Gensokyo, and she lost her memories in that jump. It is no longer possible for her to ever escape from Gensokyo anymore, and for the rest of her life she is stuck in this cruel world, forever struggling just to survive.

Anyone choosing 'yes' will have their lifespan reduced according to the following formula:
R = T - (C + S)
Where R is the reduction (in seconds), T is your total lifespan (in seconds), C is your current age (in seconds), and S is a random value between 60 and 300.

Touhou is pretty unique in that it's actually big news when characters are assigned some personality traits. Touhou characters are empty shells of character design that anybody just assigns their personal favorite personality to.

It's interesting how anime and VN protagonists are often panned for not having any personality, yet the Touhou franchise is hugely popular mainly for their personality-less characters.

well, probably you're right.

Grimdark thread?
Grimdark thread.

Just love BA's art.

When people make threads about "What kind of Gensokyo do you like best?" I always see some say Grimdark, and so I suddenly became curious what do you exactly mean with grimdark (grim and dark dohoho). Please elaborate.

What are some good dark, psychological visual novels?
