My apologies to any inconvenience. Rushing things won't do any good lol.
But since the threads are getting oversaturated by fairies when it comes to presentation. I thought I could do justice as well. Btw, Fossilized Wonders was fun, check it out!

>What is Touhou?
Touhou Project is a video game series created by Team Shanghai Alice. ZUN, the founder and only member of the group, is the sole mind behind the games, from the code to the graphics to the music and everything in between. The first game was released in 1997. Most of the games are part of the bullet hell shoot-'em-up genre, where the player dodges waves of beautiful and destructive curtains of bullets called danmaku. ZUN is a staunch supporter of doujin developers and has encouraged others to create fanworks based on Touhou Project. This has lead to Touhou becoming a cornerstone of internet culture for over two decades through memes, music remixes, artwork, and fan animations.
>Where can I buy Touhou games?
The easiest way is through Steam, which has most titles from the series.

You can also purchase physical CD copies of the games online.
>What Touhou game do I start with?
It depends. While the games are numbered, starting at Touhou 1 and going through the series numerically may not make for the best experience. Feel free to ask in the thread and an anon will give you some advice.
