Gensokyo Odyssey
7/21 Update
This week's update is meant to make some of the game's hardest fights (barring the secret boss) easier.
- In Yukari's second phase, Healing is doubled to 20 HP
- Hisoutensoku's damage is decreased
- In Kakkoi's first fight, the chances for her to steal MP is decreased
- Fixed a few text errors
Last time I spoke to you, I mentioned hypothetical major Kakkoi-related content in the future. In that time, I've heard from a few people directly that they would love to see more of her. However, I'm not sure if that sentiment is shared by the majority of players, and I don't want to oversaturate or force Kakkoi onto those who aren't interested. I think it's important to show restraint and not overwhelm the community with too much Kakkoi content. I also have plans to translate the game for Spanish, Portuguese, and Russian speakers, and I would like to focus on that before delving into major new content.
That being said, if the demand is there and enough players are interested, I will definitely consider creating more content featuring Kakkoi in the game. I may start a poll on the game's Twitter Account regarding this in the near future, so please keep an eye out and let us know your thoughts.
In the meantime, please share the game with your friends. Your enthusiasm and feedback means a lot to me and helps me make each update better and more enjoyable for everyone. Thank you all once again for your continued support and stay tuned for more updates in the coming days.
7/13 Update
This is one of a stream of small updates that will be released throughout the coming days.
- Tutorial boss fight fix
- More character voice blips
- Bug fixes in fights
- Secret way to skip a certain boss
There may be major Kakkoi-related content in the future, but that depends on if people are interested in seeing it. I don't have a census of how many players like Kakkoi and want to see more of her, so please let us know however you'd like.
In the meantime, expect a couple more small updates to the game.
6/15 Patch Update

Kakkoi Update!
Hey guys, how ya doin? It's ya favorite mafia gal Kakkoi WHO 100% PAYS TAXES I DO NOT HATE THE IRS
Now I gotta tell yous all bout the new big update for the game, lotsa shit added. Lets start with the big sutff.
MP got a little rework, you find yourself saving up to use specials all the time? Now the cost's been lowered by a lot! Fights are more fun now, but what's the catch? Ya gotta complete a little minigame to deal that extra damage, each boss with a different unique special
Most bosses got their own special minigames, have a sneakpeak at a few in these tiny ass pictures
Whole lotta new stuff added to post-game blackjack, got a lot more shit to talk about now. And if yous lookin to make some good money flippin cards, I straight up told the casino to hand out decks with easier hands and they said sure LMAO idk how that worked I guess they're fuckin magicians or something. But yeah whole lotta new shit after you beat the game
In the normal story, some dialogue's been added too idk what Kron was thinkin cause the game's long enough as is, bro me and Okuu were up all night beatin the final boss halfway through Okuu says "hey that looks like me" and I tell her to drink seltzer water
So maybe even with new dialogue yadda yadda yous replaying the game, and ya tryna skip through the text by slappin your keyboard like a fuckin maniac, right? Not anymore! Now ya can hold "X" to skip all that text I mean you already beat the game not like you need to see that shit twice
Volume slider's been changed to be a lil bit more balanced so nothing can ever blast your eardrums
Some of those cutscenes that everyone loves got some new stuff in em, for example, a voice cameo by Drewski on Youtube love that guy and notably some special shit in the final cutscene, but I can't spoil that at all yous gotta see it for yourself
Now we gotta talk about the secret boss, we made is so that now all ya gotta do is--
WAIT WHAT. FUCK YOU MEAN MOKOU DIDN'T PAY HER GODDAMN 200 BUCKS SHE OWES US
Alright mfs me and okuu gotta fuck some bitches up see ya LETS GO

OST on Spotify + Game on Linux!
I'm working on a very major update of the game
This update will include:
- Adding unique special minigames for most bosses
- Greatly expanding and refining post-game Blackjack
- Refining and adding to some cutscenes (including a cameo from a certain Walfas lover)
- Balancing some fights
- Adding more dialogue
- A reworking of the MP system
- Reworked volume slider
- Many bug fixes
- More leniency towards requirements for the Secret Boss route
- Making the game more speedrun/replay-friendly
- Post-game art gallery
- Much more!
This update will go live on Friday, June 7th at 2pm EST. If you are planning on playing or replaying the game, I suggest you do it then.
The 64 song, 3 hour long soundtrack is now availably on Spotify and other streaming services!
It is also available on iTunes, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Pandora, and many more.
If you don't have any of these services, it's also available on my channel for free.
The overwhelming majority of Touhou games (and fangames) are only available on Windows. But, of course, not everyone uses Windows. All three operating systems have their advantages and disadvantages, and people choose them accordingly by preference. I don't see it fit to punish people for their preferences by gatekeeping this game for Window users only. I think that anyone who wants to play this game on Steam has every right to do so, regardless of operating system. This is why I've released a Linux port of the game. Gensokyo Odyssey is now available on all three possible OSs; Windows, Mac, and Linux/SteamOS, making Gensokyo Odyssey one of the only Touhou-related games to be available on all three.
That's all I have right now, be ready for Friday!

May 18th Address
It's been a month since the release of Gensokyo Odyssey. I would like to thank everyone for the high praise the game has received this past month, which has greatly exceeded my expectations of audience reaction. I have poured years of work into this project, and it means everything to me that it has been so well-received. I want to thank all the players for your support and feedback, which have been extremely helpful in improving the game and making it even better.
I've recently finished a semester and now I am able to return to further refinement of the game.
We're working on adding:
- Adding unique special minigames for most of each boss
- Expanding post-game Blackjack
- Refining some cutscenes (including a cameo from a certain Walfas lover)
- Balancing some fights
- Adding more dialogue
- More leniency towards requirements for the Secret Boss route
As for releasing the soundtrack on platforms like Spotify and other streaming services, I've received many questions regarding the status of this. I've been working towards release for over a month; well before the game's release. Unfortunately, in my pursuits I have been thoroughly convinced that many distributors do not provide service congruent to the demands of the public. Despite my efforts, it seems the time when the soundtrack releases is at the mercy and leisure of these distributors. As such, I cannot promise or provide an ETA. Rest assured that I will continue to strive for a timely release for the enjoyment of the people.
For the time being, the soundtrack is streamable on BandCamp, playable on YouTube, and downloadable on Steam. There may be more frequent updates on this matter on my Twitter page in the future.
