Done from the perspective of a weak normal human, but one with a very useful superpower.
No forced wish fulfillment romances.
Somewhat lighthearted, but with genuine stakes.
Brutal and violent bad endings.
Personal story about discovering your new place in Gensokyo as a above average human.

So you want a Divi:dead-like touhou with a nice thick atmosphere? Well, that's cool, that kind of atmosphere is really nice, but visual novels are really at their best in the common route when everyone's just messing around, for some reason I'm really weak to comedy in visual novels and am extremely easy to amuse.

Yes. I mean, i don't think it should go full Nasuverse or anything. But i like the idea of having a main character that would probably be killed pretty easily if he went up against even a weak Youkai. And that somewhat being reflected in the general tone of the story.

I don't know what that is, honestly.

>but visual novels are really at their best in the common route when everyone's just messing around, for some reason I'm really weak to comedy in visual novels and am extremely easy to amuse.
I think a more comedic visual novel COULD work. But i also think you do need some kind of tension for the choices to matter. And that's hard to accomplish if you go slice of life, especially if you also don't have any romance.

Lots of action, tons of bad endings and a faceless protagonist who starts out weak but progressively becomes stronger until he can face off against the most powerful 2hus. Seija is one of the heroines, mainly because "flipping" things is an extremely cool ability to have in an over-the-top setting (and because I really like her).

Brutal bad endings are a must when we have characters like Sakuya. Of course all merged with the things that make touhou a light hearted series as well. No "character becomes stronger as he progresses" thing though. Either the MC is useless or his power is set already. Actual plot.

>>	Anonymous Mon Apr 9 15:32:49 2018 No.18791965 >>18791929 That doesn't have to mean the game has to be edgy or grimdark. Simply that the consequences for making a big mistake can be severe.

Lore Exploration with Myst/Uru style genre.

You play as a young Occult Investigator masquerading as Private Eye from Outside World named Asami Toshihiko (浅見智彦). He has the ability to locate anything, even things that are lost or hidden. The ability also allows him to See everything, even the things that do not want to be seen.

One day, he got hired by Lady in Purple/Yukari and invited to a mysterious Ryokan where he will lodge in for solving cases in Gensokyo. The Ryokan itself is connected to Gensokyo on the corner of the Boundaries, directly opposite of Hakurei Shrine.

Yukari says that he need to solve incidents that not require "shoot first ask question later" like the local incident resolvers, meaning this case will rely on intelligence and inference skills with some folklore knowledge or even sorcery/withcraft.

Example of first case : The Scarlet Mist emerges again, but strangely it only engulfs around the Scarlet Devil Mansion while the rest of Gensokyo is not affected. The owner of the mansion, Remilia, did not recall or need summoning the mist, as she can get out with ease with her anti-sun parasol. This where Toshihiko steps into the case by investigating the mansion and it's inhabitants. The background lore of each character will be explored to help him solve the incident. His ability also useful for locating the hidden truth on the environment, or even on the person.

Trivia : Asami Toshihiko (浅見智彦) is based on other fictional character named Asami Mitsuhiko (浅見光彦), a famous amateur sleuth and writer who solves crimes based on Japanese folklore or legend.

I'm not the only person to use the phrase "Oh shush", you know. And regardless, i'm free to post where and when i want. If you have a problem with me, then report me or something. Stop acting like a creepy stalker.

Also stop using the term "moralfag", you insane sociopath. If you want to argue that all human morality is meaningless. Then go live in Somalia, and see how well that goes.

Ideal Touhou Visual Novel/Dating Sim

Fully customizable main character appearance. (Gender, hair color, height, clothes etc)

Choices, many different big choices with big outcomes leading to different endings.

Custom routes, choose whoever you want to date. (And ofcourse have the ability to date another girl and go down her route like huniepop.)

Choosing your powers, Your MC shouldn't be just a normal ordinary weak human, he/she should have the ability to have magical powers like all 2hu's, and you should be able to choose whatever powers you want your character to have. (What spell card and projectiles etc.)

Have the story not just focused on dating the girls, while the game should be a Dating Sim, it shouldn't just be dating the girls, but also having many different adventures in Gensokyo.

Speaking of, the game should also be an RPG, so basically a Touhou Dating Sim Visual Novel/RPG where you can not only talk to the 2hu girls in gensokyo but have many adventures and have danmaku battles with 2hu girls. (Kinda like Undertale how it's both an RPG but also has Danmaku-like battles).

And basically everything here: >>18790458

Dating sim, but also has mystery and bad ends. But the bad ends shouldn't just be jerking off how stronk the youkai are and how easily they can kill the player character, there should be crazy shit like a culprit finishing her plan with disasterous results, or something spooky causing the PC to undergo a metamorphosis into a monster and eating everyone, and so on.

I admit my perception of "a Touhou VN" is influenced by those old cyoa stories from here.

It would be nice to have Nasu-Esque bad endings, rather than just "You go out at night and a Youkai eats you". But if this thread is any indication. Most people would scream "GRIMDARK!" if anything more serious than "Cute girls engaging in bland slice of life material" or "Wish fulfillment self insert fantasies" happen.

It's the closest you'll get though.
Both games allow you to make up your own lore and TohoK definitely has the requested customization options.
TW is... well... it's basically just a nukige. There's LiG (Live in Gensokyo) but I don't know if it's actually still developed. I'd basically want LiG but with more gameplay.
