Playing through Touhou Youyoumou ~ Perfect Cherry Blossom on the Mircosoft Windows as the Perfect and Elegant Servant herself: Sakuya Izayoi! This game is the sequel to Touhou Koumakyou ~ The Embodiment Of Scarlet Devil as it adds a third playable character and a visible hitbox when you are using focus shots. For gameplay, the game uses the Cherry System. By collecting a certain amount of Cherry Items which is exclusive to this game, the player will enter a state called Supernatural Border which gives the player the ability to take an additional hit, used to clear oncoming bullets and you can suck up nearby items for a limited time. Lastly. In additional to the staple Extra Stage, there's also the Phantasm Stage (Also exclusive to this game) where it can be unlocked through certain conditions.

Touhou Youyoumou ~ Perfect Cherry Blossom is one of my favorite Touhou Project games as of now. If I were to talk about the Windows Era of Touhou Project as a standalone series (It began with Touhou Koumakyou ~ The Embodiment Of Scarlet Devil), I would say that this game is the PERFECT sequel. Better gameplay, better starting point for newcomers, new characters who are just as memorable as the characters from the last game and a soundtrack that is just as good as the last one. This game tells the story of how Reimu, Marisa and Sakuya must put an end to the Spring Snow Incident by fighting through the Netherworld. There it leads to an epic showdown between Youmu Konpaku and her mistress Yuyuko Saigyouji (My second favorite Touhou character) who is plotting to bloom a youkai tree by stealing spring itself so Yuyuko herself can dig up a corpse that was buried underneath said tree! Gensokyo would fall into ruin if the heroines fail here because that youkai tree is setinient if fully bloomed and will destroy anything it touches! After the Spring Snow Incident, there's more to this story such as another epic showdown between a certain fox tailed familiar and her mistress who happens to be a certain blonde youkai sage (Also my favorite Touhou character) but that's for another time...
