Looks like they're finally releasing Fantasy Maiden Wars in english:

Here's a better trailer:

For those who aren't familiar with it, it's a Touhou fangame, so there's a big cast of characters who are about 99% girls, and it's a perfect introduction to the series if you've never got into it, since it rethreads the storyline of the games, except it actually makes it good and consistent.
I've played the full version in japanese some years ago and I can't recommend this enough, what really shines about it are the writing (it's a looong game with a ton of text in it) and music, and the yuri levels were also upped a lot compared to the bare bones stuff in the official games, some pairs come off as pretty much maintext, though of course it's not a romance.
For more context, it was originally released as 4 separate chapters created over 9 years of insane dedication, and then they were bundled into a "Complete Box" edition with several improvements, which is the version they're releasing in english.
The first 3 of the original chapters have had an unofficial english patch out for a while, and the fourth one has a UI translation only, but I wouldn't recommend playing them at this point since their gameplay, story and graphics have all been upgraded in the final edition.
As far as I'm concerned, even though I knew nothing about Touhou before it, playing this game was a memorable experience, to the extent I could hardly believe it was an indie work, which is why I'm uncharacteristically writing this cringe wall of text about it, but that's how much I enjoyed it, so maybe you will too.
