A bonus fan disc called Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Rei was released on December 31, 2006. While the first four games carried the overall title Higurashi no Naku Koro ni, the next four games were produced under the title Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai. The first game in the series, Onikakushi-hen, was released on August 10, 2002, and the eighth and final game in the original PC series, Matsuribayashi-hen, was released on August 13, 2006. The games are built on the NScripter game engine and are playable on the Windows operating system. When the Cicadas Cry), known simply as When They Cry for the North American release of the anime adaptation, is a Japanese murder mystery dōjin soft sound novel series produced by 07th Expansion. In the Kai folders you might see a BGI.exe (Rika icon), ignore it.Higurashi When They Cry (ひぐらしのなく頃に Higurashi no Naku Koro ni?, lit. 7z (7-zip) format.Įxtract the contents of the folder, and once you’re inside, double-click the Rena icon (higurashi.exe) to get the game up and running. zip files which should be compatible with any and all extractor programs. Now for the actual downloads! All arcs are archived in.

There will be a TTF file named “consolas” within the RAR, right click->Install and you’ll be set. **Make sure you have the Consolas font installed or else the font patch won’t work. (Kai arcs only) Kaibrid applied to all appropriate arcs. (Arcs 1-4 only) Editorashi already applied. Sounds replaced with those from the original Japanese version.

Make sure to check the Options menu and hit “Call Box” for the right-click function if it hasn’t already been done. All music tracks replaced with those from the original Japanese version.

Sprites and backgrounds replaced with those from the PS2 Matsuri version. The patches and fixes for the sound novel arcs are as follows. ※This post contains ALL EIGHT Higurashi arcs fully patched, but until I find a working DL link of the sound novel minigames from the Japanese version, they will be omitted from this post. The good thing about the new host is that the volumes don’t have to be split into parts anymore, so there shouldn’t be any complications this time over so-and-so not extracting like there was in the past. Since MediaFire literally sabotaged half the stuff inside my account (Matsuribayashi-hen, the first four arcs, and the minigames were unfortunately part of the victim list) and gave me a bunch of strikes, I had to re-download and re-patch a lot from scratch, plus move everything to a different file host. Happy Watanagashi to everyone!! This is such a late post I’m sorry
