Has anybody here ever played this game before? I haven't heard that much about it (at least from the English-speaking community) and it seems pretty interesting to me.

A table top game?! Never heard of it before but looks like it could be fun.

Never heard of it previously, but I am genuinely interested.

I created a character for it once, but never got around to playing.

So how is this game even played? Is it similar to D&D?

From what I've read, it plays similarly, but uses a different system. It also seems to use some sort of game mat to represent the positions of the characters.

I'll do an in-depth review once I have the time. Besides Touhou, TTRPGs are my main hobby, and this game has been on my mind for a while.

The short version is that this game is a mess, and might not even be technically playable as written (or, perhaps, as translated). Every other Touhou TTRPG I've seen has been straightforwardly bad, but this one isn't just bad: it's baffling.
