Gensokyo Night Festival, developed by WSS playground and tea_basira, is a 2D action-exploration game set in the Touhou Project universe. Released in Early Access on October 13, 2019, the game allows players to control Suika Ibuki, an oni with the power to manipulate density and sparseness, as she navigates through the world of Gensokyo during the Hakurei Shrine Festival. The game features a blend of combo-based combat, shooting, and counter-attacks, with mechanics centered around Suika's unique abilities. Players can utilize warp shots to move at high speeds and charge attacks that unleash powerful density and sparseness effects. Upon its release, Gensokyo Night Festival garnered attention for its vibrant pixel art style and dynamic gameplay mechanics. The game's visuals are reminiscent of classic 2D platformers, with detailed character sprites and fluid animations that capture the essence of the Touhou universe. The environments are richly designed, offering a variety of settings that enhance the game's immersive experience. The soundtrack complements the visuals, featuring energetic compositions that align with the game's fast-paced action. However, despite its promising start, the game has faced challenges in development. As of September 2025, the game has not received significant updates for several years, leading to concerns among the community about its future. The lack of communication from the developers has contributed to a decline in player confidence. While the game initially received a "Mostly Positive" rating on Steam, recent reviews have become more critical, with some players expressing disappointment over the lack of progress and updates. The game's Early Access status, combined with the absence of new content, has left many fans uncertain about its completion and long-term viability. In conclusion, Gensokyo Night Festival presents an intriguing concept with its unique gameplay mechanics and faithful representation of the Touhou universe. The initial release showcased the potential for a compelling action-exploration game. However, the prolonged period without updates and the lack of developer communication have hindered its development, leaving the community in a state of uncertainty. For players interested in the Touhou Project and 2D action games, Gensokyo Night Festival offers a glimpse into what could have been a standout title. Yet, the current state of the game serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by indie developers in maintaining momentum and delivering on early promises. Rating: 7/10

Good experience, especially if you can buy it on sale. Seems that it'll never be a complete game, but still a fun hour or so.
