S.O.E.U. (NES/famicom)

a barebones-but-fulllength six-stage touhou fangame for the nes/famicom about therapy sessions on the subway and feeling small in the big city. first attempt at making a game on the nes. some shameless soew ripoffs in here, be warned. written in nesfab in a week or so for bullet hell jam 7. come play it (and other touhou retro homebrew) on real hardware at touhoufest 2026
