Higurashi When They Cry (Eng)

-This game is translated- Wiki Official Website Higurashi is a murder mystery game described as a "sound novel" by 07th Expansion. A sound novel is similar to a visual novel in that the gameplay requires relatively little player interaction as most of the game is composed of text dialogues. The original release contained no voice acting for the characters. While a visual novel's basis would be the visual aspect, as the name suggests, a sound novel's basis takes more care in producing an atmosphere via the music, sound effects, and the story itself. The game utilizes intermissions where the player can obtain several TIPS. These TIPS allow the player to read various supplementary information that may or may not be useful in solving the mystery. For example, one of the TIPS can be as simple as "this is a small village; children who go to this school are combined into one classroom regardless of what grade or year they are in." On the other hand, they can provide valuable hints, such as being able to read the excerpts of the newspaper articles regarding the murders that occurred in Hinamizawa. At the beginning of each of the story arcs, a cryptic poem by someone known as Frederica Bernkastel is read; these reveal some of what is going to happen in the following arc. Story Overview Higurashi no Naku Koro ni takes place during June 1983, at a fictional rural village called Hinamizawa (based on the village of Shirakawa, Gifu, a World Heritage Site),which has a population of approximately 2,000. The main character, Keiichi Maebara, moves to Hinamizawa and befriends his new classmates Rena Ryuugu, Mion Sonozaki, Rika Furude, and Satoko Hojo. Keiichi joins their after-school club activities, which consist mostly of card and board games (and punishment games for the loser, usually him.) Hinamizawa appears to be a normal, peaceful, rural village to Keiichi. However, the tranquility abruptly ends after the annual Watanagashi Festival, a celebration to commemorate and give thanks to the local god, Oyashiro. Keiichi learns that every year for the past four years, one person has been murdered and another has gone missing on the day of the Watanagashi Festival. Keiichi himself soon becomes drawn into the strange events surrounding the Watanagashi Festival and Oyashiro. In each story arc, he or one of his friends become paranoid, and a crime is committed. Usually, the crime involves the murder of one of their own friends. While it seems impossible to tell their delusions apart from the mystery of Hinamizawa, slowly the truth is revealed.

In this chapter, the audience sees the true reason for the criminal's murderous actions in Watanagashi-hen—a lost love. The first hints of that which ties together the arcs are given.

Sorry to be asking but after following through the instructions for Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai Meakashi the game takes a error, (in the image below). I’m not sure as to why this occurred as I followed through the instructions, step by step.

Spoiler:

If anyone knows why this problem occurs your help would be much obliged.

The second time, I would be disgusted with
the inevitable tragedy.

The third time, my disgust would turn into anguish.
The seventh time, I'd be laughing by then.

How is your reasoning towards the truth coming along?
The next tragedy is ready for you. Enjoy.
This is a humorous story with a tragic struggle at the end.
The difficulty is zero. You can just enjoy the clowns milling about.

- Extract the files in the Kaibrid2 directory to the one containing Tsumihoroboshi's files.

Is this folder supposed to be included in the download for Tsumihoroboshi? I can't find it in the download file.

Am I missing something?

i have a quick question about this game. I got it to work just fine but when I start the main game there are only 3 chapters available with the second and third locked up. Does the main game have 4 chapters? I haven't played the game yet and I'm wondering if I messed up installing this. will a 4th part appear after I finish the first 3 or something?

gurumao

Yep the chapters will get unlocked.

Higurashi has 4 'Question' arcs
Higurashi Kai has 4 'Answer' arcs (the last 2 await translation)

Quick question. It seems there is something wrong with the PS2 Sprite/BG patch for Meakashi. When I try to extract it, at some point there is an error. Has anyone else had this problem and if possible, can someone please help? Thank You.

It worked! Thank you very much. Also, it wasn't the patch itself, there was just something wrong when I would extract it. Again, thank you.

Edit: Okay, everything works out. Sorry for my earlier questions.

Question. If I watched the anime, should I play this? I felt the anime was very well done. I was wondering if the VN includes any details that were left out inthe anime version.
