Taisei Project (泰西プロジェクト) is an open-source Touhou Project fangame. Its development was started in 2011 by Laochailan, under the tentative title "OpenTH". Akaricchi, another programmer, became involved with the project starting in 2012, and the game saw its full first release later that year.

After a five-year hiatus, development on Taisei resumed in 2017, during which the project received many more contributors. Since then, the story was rewritten and a full soundtrack was composed, and various other improvements have taken place.

Gameplay

The current build features three playable characters: Reimu Hakurei, Marisa Kirisame and Youmu Konpaku, each with two shots.

Name and Concept

The Japanese word taisei (泰西) literally means "the West" or "the Occident", in a similar vein to the Seihou Project. However, the two series are not related.

Story

v1.3

Another villain threatens to turn the land of dreams into a place of terror. The barrier is disrupted, and a strange tunnel that leads to an unknown land opens on Youkai Mountain. Gensokyo is thrown into chaos as humans and youkai alike flock to this rift, where they will discover forces both new and old that have changed beyond recognition.

v1.4 (alpha)

Many residents of Youkai Mountain become overwhelmed with maniacal feelings of intellectual superiority, seemingly without warning. Worse yet, it seems to slowly affect others who so much as get close to the Mountain itself. The protagonists are sent to investigate the source of this "madness," lest Gensokyo be thrown into intellectual chaos.

Music

Taisei Project features original music in the style of ZUN, composed by Tuck V and Jneen Collective.
