Youmuinthe Nightmaretaker Akuma Ni Tsukareta 2021 -

Developed by Abdallah Abdallah, this title is a doujin RPG Maker game that blends traditional turn-based combat with darker erotic themes. It serves as a side-story or "what-if" scenario set in the Touhou Project universe, specifically focusing on Youmu Konpaku.

It reminds the reader that beneath the Roukanken and Hakurouken blades, Youmu is a young woman prone to fear and exhaustion.
