It's a pay-what-you-want FOSS PC game based on Touhou Project… By which I mean it's got Reimu, Marisa, Youmu, Cirno, Yuyuko and the rest, so it is really for most intents and purposes just another Touhou game — just, a Touhou game not developed by Zun or given his explicit stamp of approval… But why should that matter, right?

You can get Taisei Project off Linux Mint's software manager and everything, or you can play it in your browser on the official website. This freaking rocks!! I mean it is incredibly difficult, but I knew it would be going in. I just think it's really cool that this exists.

How do you think Taisei Project compares with Zun's original games? Is "mainline" Touhou worth trying to get into? How would I go about playing those games on Linux?

This looks pretty cool! I'm a big touhou fan so I'd definitely say if you like this you'd like the mainline stuff.

How would I go about playing those games on Linux?

I haven't tested extensively but I've played a few through wine just fine. That was a while ago though I'm sure there's better tech to run it with now.
