Satori's overworked herself into bed, but Okuu needs help remembering things! You can't use her heart-reading power, and will instead have to ask questions and use her power of recollection to correct wrong info, all while enduring visits from Orin and Koishi as you deduce what Okuu's forgotten!

Is this what wearing the Chernobyl reactor as an arm cannon does to your brain
i hate this bird
THIS BIRD HAS NEGATIVE IQ
Genuinely fun, well-translated, cute, and frustrating (but in a good way) as you try to fend off the oomfies from interrupting your conversation with an idiot who occasionally gaslights you.
There's some minor gripes that can come from not knowing the wordlist at play, but any frustrations can be chalked up to Okuu being an absolute birdbrain who forgets that the animal youkai that came to visit was a human or that someone wanted to build a prison next to your mansion.

I played this in a group and it was entirely us just screaming "oh my god what is wrong with this bird?!" and at one point an animal she was thinking of was "human" and anyway it's the best game of all time.
Love the character art. But for a game that appears to be a deduction-minded puzzle game, the core design of the game-play is honestly disappointing to me. It ends up feeling luck/trial-and-error most of the time, something I wouldn't expect from a 20-questions style game.
Why is there a time limit? Why not lose if you answer incorrectly instead? Why does Okuu just flat out remember information incorrectly with no rule or logic? How about having a limited number of times you can use your third eye rather than just having it be on cool down? I wouldn't be asking these questions if I didn't see the funner alternative. This is an activity of deducing to a single point, using outside knowledge -- that takes me time. That can be fun. Time limits and arbitrary pressure feels incredibly misplaced. (But I know that's just how it is for me.)
Don't really want to give this a negative score cuz I don't feel bitter about it despite my gripes. The Touhou theme is incredibly charming and I still love what it's going for in concept. And if anything, that cute art and music is what helped keep me engaged for an hour. But purely based on how I could see this game going, and how it ended up turning out (mechanically) it's a pretty casual experience. Casually disappointing.
