Higurashi - When They Cry

Finally found the english version of Higurashi. :D Thanks alot. Will you continue to upload the rest of it if it is released?

Looking forward to it. ^^

um im really glad that you have this i've been looking for it for a really long time. but when i try to install the game, it askes me for a serial code number... am i doing something wrong?

^.^ ok! thank you very much

thanks a lot !

Can´t find the cracked exe -.- please help

Whoa, thanks a lot!

what number game is this in the series? is it number 1?

The cracked version doesn't work for me. I need a serial number generator.

Thanks a lot! :D

Thanks for this! I appreciate the work you do for this site very much, lots of great uploads here that can otherwise be hard to find.

Looking forward to playing the answer arcs after this

Ah, I'm having the same problem as 'keiichi' up there. Whenever I attempt to open the cracked file, higurashi.exe , it sends a message titled 'Error!!'
Maybe I'm doing something incorrectly, but if there's a way for you to help, it'd be much appreciated!
Thank you for all of your dowloads. (:

admin are you a god?!The god of all the eroge and visual novel in english!!^^

Thank you so much for posting these! I had just finished watching the anime, and i heard that the sound novels where better so i had to check them out!

Same problem as keiichi and Desu. Clicking on the crack only gets me a pop-up titled "Error!!". Then there's some japanese characters and [ system.arc : ipl._bp ], that spacing exactly. Any ideas?

wow....all you have to do is place the cracked exe in your higurashi directory...the error message you are getting means that it can't find the archive files....

are there any decision points in this game (i ask because i have been playing for a while and one has yet to come up)

Now, there aren't any decisions! But it's great, anyway!
Oh my God, I've been looking for this everywhere!
:D Hauu! ~Going mad with the Hinamizawa Syndrome~!

Any reason why there are 2 "when they cry" games to download from this wonderful site? :)

I saw that ep 5-6 are released in english but I havnt been able to locate them. If you find them/have any luck it would be nice :)

i dunno how to get it to work ;-;
i have the crack file download and the normal downloaded too but i don';t know how to get them to work

@ditto
you have to put the crack files into the game folder, the game should work that way

I put the crack download in the regular folder but even then it just has a black screen for a while and then says(Not Responding) before closing itself. Any suggestions?

Hey there. Just wanted to check, after downloading this, I don't see the 4th arc (Himatsubushi) available. Is it unlocked through gameplay or just missing?

@Andrew
Himatsubushi-hen is unlocked when you finish Tatarigoroshi-hen(the 3rd arc)

admin...
u are GOD XD

thx for the upload...
really... ^^

love how the patch is 666kb

Hello! I promoted your page for the Higurashi games. I hope you dont mind.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTZboQYBjds

I hope it works on me. I'm already downloading it! ^^

The file data02000.arc doesn't work. It's broke ~.~

I've downloaded the cracked version but i cant seem to open it.. Please help!!

OMG i have been waiting forever for this after watching the series and now it available

this is awesome thank you loads ^^

I have been wanting to play this game for SOOO long, so I want to thank you once again. I have played through most of the first arc and I am totally in love with it. So, once again, thank you very much! :D <3

I'm having the same problem as Civ. I got the game downloaded, moved the cracked exe into the Higurashi directory, and all I get is a black window that doesn't respond.

I have both of the versions downloaded. What does it mean to place the cracked file into the directory? Because I've tried what I think it means via WinRAR, and I keep getting error messages. What am I doing wrong?

The crack download doesn't work for me anymore... It did for a bit, but now when I try to open it, I just get an error screen... What should I do?

It says there is chapters 1-4 included in the download, but the game only has three listed. Is there actually only 3 chapters?

file has been removed???
i can download crack it looks like but the game says its been removed
PLZ HELP!!!

All The Hotfile links in this site are down and I really want to get some of the games here like KiraKira – Curtain Call and Higurashi When They Cry

the fileserve link is down, or is it not re-uploaded yet? sorry i've been dying to get this so i'm a bit impatient lol

could it be possible for you to upload 6th and 7th arc again? those 2 are the only ones still down as of now. thank you ^^

Which version is this? + the other higurashis you uploaded
I want to patch the game with the PS2 sprites,BG,Voice,etcc
Also do you know how to patch?

I'm having the same problem with the data02000.arc file being broken, as well as not seeing any crack download anywhere.
Is it just me being dumb? XD
Thanks :)

I just saw an ADORABLE Rena-Cosplayer...I'll take her home with me! Hao!

where can i find crack?

i got to be honest. Its harder without the crack. i need help

hyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.... higurashiiiiiiiiii X3

finally there is an english version ...... X3

thanksssssss XDDD

Very nice game... and nice website :D Thanks a lot XD

Whenever I extract it, it stops at the middle saying that there's an error or something. And when I click the new game, a message box appears... It's all gibberish <_<

wow.. higurashi.. im interested but.. is this really as intense as i think it is??.. im somewhat weak-hearted.. lol.. but if anyone wants to really recommend it.. please do so.. ^^

and admin thanks for all the hard work.. currently enjoying my 6th game from here so far.. :D

Tnx! Your site is awesome!

Admin, do you have original (Japanese) version of When They Cry? If you have please share with me.

Can you tell me which chapter does this version cover? I've got the version with first 3 chapters, should I download it?

--> Wei Yan .. Fileserve and Fileshare(or so my memory says the name of the other one is) only allows ONE download .. so you'll have to wait for the current download to finish before being allowed to do another one ..

Umm anyone .. is this game good .. I'm searching for a case solving Eroge .. I'm hoping this game has that feature since the overview gave me that impression ..

Thanks and Good Luck ^_^

is this even an ecchi game? or is it about psyco murderers and crap?
im playing it and ive seen nothing eroge yet at all

Hmm I can't find the Himatsubushi chapter

Does anyone have the original version? If so, please share it. thanks

thx for having this i loved this series since i saw the amazing anime version its too bad that some chapters are exclusive to other systems

i have a question... is there any chance to get the voice patch for this game? every link i find is dead or removed.
Admin, if you got the voices for this game, could you please upload them?

thank you :)

um.... the links give me a 4kb file "higurashi.rar" it's supposed to be about 243 mb, right?

I'll help you. Wait a little~

(Sorry for my bad english)

Mmmm... The site where I downloaded the eight chapters is broken. And... Uh... Well, if I can't find them quickly, I'll upload the novels by myself. Just wait. What server do you want? I will include PS2 graphics and THE ORIGINAL, BEAUTIFUL AND AWESOME MUSIC. ASLKDJASD. Not the crappy replaced BGM.

These novels are the best of the best. The Higurashi anime is so fucking shitty as adaptation. SO. FUCKING. SHITTY. But as anime, it's very very good~

PS: A warning to you all, people. If you download the novels with the PS2 graphic patch already patched, it would be very problematic and buggy in the later part of Onikakushi. Download the patch and patch the novel by yourselves. Sorry again for my english.

No, the voice version is for PS2. The texts of that version aren't in english, only japanese. There are original arcs (from the PC game) that don't appear in the PS2 version (the voiced ver.), so these arcs would be without voices if I put a voice patch in the original games (the translated ones). The Matsuribayashi arc, for example, is only in the original novels, so it has no voice patch.

Also, the original arcs that appear in the voiced version have some differences with the PC version, so the voices would not... uh... match the text and the situation often. Desynchronization and shit, all the time. There is a voice patch, I remember it... But it's so "green" and has the problems that I said.

And this is a novel. A novel, not a game. This is for reading, like a book, but with AWESOME music (the original music, my version includes it), backgrounds, and character sprites. The voices would be annoying, not letting you hear the AWESOME music. Specially in Kai arcs. If you want voices, only imagine it. You have watched the anime, you can imagine the voices. I really suggest you to read it without voices.

Sorry for explaining too hard, I did it for people that know nothing about sound novels, not for you ^^u

About my uploads, I'm... What's the word? Agh, my english is terrible. I'm... Ah. I haven't time to upload the novels now, but I'll do it this week, that for sure. Wait a little, okay? I don't want anyone to download a buggy version or that stupid version with replaced music and ugly sprites that is everywhere.

I'll come here in few days. See you!

Oh, I see ^^

I'm reading Himatsubushi right now. Akasaka FTW! But all the Mahjong thing with Ooishi is awful, I don't understand what are they talking about D:

I'll upload the novels anyway, there are friends that wants them. Well, I want them to know Higurashi, so to speak xD

So far , I've downloaded Meakashi-hen (Cuz its my favorite) I just recently downloaded Chapters 1-4 , But keep getting some strange message when I open it up to its main menu! I need help ! D:

You know? Now I really regretted watching anime first. As I think that anime is so kick ass, It couldn't compared to either manga or sound novel. But I will recommended this to my aunt for sure. She's a big fan for mystery novel and Higurashi is truly a masterpiece!

Well, I finally decided to try and play these.

Thank you, this makes it much easier to obtain them when they're all in one.

Too bad the second half isn't, but at least I have a place to get them.

HURRAY FOR CONVENIENCE!

GEHH~~ I hate this VN, it scared the hell every time X3~~~ at that just make me CAN'T STOP READING IT~~~ HELP~~~ I WANNA SLEEP~~ X3

Hello,
can you please tell me were i can download the background and voice patches? i don´t see them anywere.

can anyone tell me is there any difference between higurashi vn and the anime adaptation? like a bit of difference in storyline and stuff?
i already downloaded this,but i also have a lot vn's on my list to read. so depending on you guys answer,ill either read it next or put it on hold for a while..
anyways,for sure,ill play this eventually,its something i can i cannot miss afterall ;)

Hello everyone,
can someone please tell me where i can find the links for the higurashi voice and background patches?

Excellent. I've been looking for a download for these for a long time.

I'd also like to make a note of Higanbana no Saku Yoru Ni, the next Visual Novel series made by Ryushiki07. Should you ever find a download for a translated version, please make sure to put it on here.

Is there any MF/RS link you can update please =)
Thanks

Stupid SOPA... Please update link!

^This.
Also if anyone could give proper explanation or a good link to download EVERYTHING related to this game, i'd be very grateful.
Such a lovely series. (And i've only watched 7 eps of the anime yet,nothing else.)

thanks for re-uploading them :D

Woohoo many thanks!!!

does this version has any mini games or anything that u can actually chose?

and nalso does this game have any event cg?
i'm only at the beginning but i didn't see any..

Is this english or Japanese?

admin... are there any cg patch on this? i mean.. the ps2 cg patch

Admin, sorry to bother you, but it seems like the second quartet of the chapters was not reuploaded in the process, as it sends me to a 404 error page. I apologize if this is an error on my part, I simply can't find them.

I also thank you from the bottom of my heart for (re)uploading all these fantastic novels, you are a truly good person to collect them all in one place. Thank you so much. :)

Cant anyone know why cant I save the game O_o
Everytime I save it , quit and return to , it disappears >"<
Sorry for my bad English :P

yo dawghz, get those other chapters fixed plx

Mr admin, if you mind, can you re upload sound patch and ps2 cg patch? As we know that fs link is dead.

Thanks before.

Ok since the other chapter links still lead to 404s, here are the urls to the working ones:
higurashi-%e2%80%93-when-they-cry-kai-meakashi/
higurashi-%e2%80%93-when-they-cry-kai-tsumihoroboshi/
higurashi-%e2%80%93-when-they-cry-kai-Minagoroshi/
higurashi-%e2%80%93-when-they-cry-kai-Matsuribayashi/

(place after the downloads/ in the url)

Uh, thanks for the download links, but I have a problem.

These are supposed to be chapter 1,2,3 and 4 , right?
Now there are 2 links, part 1 and part 2.

How do I install them?
If I install part 1, the program runs and shows 3 scenarios.
one is onikakushi, a second one whose name I dont remember and the one which it says is the shortest.... in this order.

there is no fourth scenario. How do I get that. Unpacking part 2 just replaces some files which i assumed would lead to data loss of parts 1,2,3 but the game ran and still showed scenarios 1,2,3 only(I did not delete the files which were not replaced during unpacking though)

So, finally could someone tell the proper way to install this, along with parts 4-8.(also in 4-8, will I have to install them all in different folders and copy the same cg and music etc files to each of them, or is there way to have all the parts together in one folder).

Thanks and sorry for the long rant, specific doubts give specific answers.

So people, any help?

I am gonna finish tatigoroshi and don't wanna be stuck without the 4 th arc.

Any solutions?

Hey admin just wanted to know when will chapters 5-8 be up? thanks ;]

The links for the other chapters are dead ^_^

Guuyzz HELP PLEAASEE!!
I've downloaded this game, but after I successfully extracted it, the game doesn't work! It just keeps 'not responding'. I've tried to play it on other laptop with different OS, but the outcome is still the same. What happened actually? Please is there anyone can help me? please respond, thanks ^^

Oh NVM, I figure it out after I read the older comments here.
I didn't know it has to be moved from the flash disk to PC first to get it work. :p

is this for PC? thanks. BTW i'm new here.

I am wondering if this is a problem with my extractor, and where I could get one that works.
I can download the files fine, but when I try to extract them the part1 stops half way through and says it can't be extacted and part2 won't extract at all.

I was also wondering if you need the original game to use this patch?

Any help please?

do you get to make choices in this vn or do you just click enter and watch the story....? Also is the second arc scary in the vn??? I'm waiting for my download.... it's taking forever...

lol sorry i JUST read some of the earlier comments.

So I downloaded the game, works, but I can't get past the selection page. I hit Start and then these things pop up, I click yes but the last one I click yes but it just keeps popping up and I can't get past it.

The grammar is so bad, it gets on my nerves. It's as if it was Google Translated, but I know it's difficult to translate a Visual Novel. I just really loved the anime, and was a bit disappointed in the grammar here. The font is also pretty irritating, and I hate how you can't adjust the size or color. I enjoy reading the VN version, though, it's OK.

I like the mystery the most, but I was also a bit disappointed in the absence of cutscene art. I was kind of looking forward to at least a bit of gore/blood.

It's interesting, but I was definitely expecting more. The drawings are also annoying, but I don't want to get the PS2 patch, because the character's seem to really lack expression. I want to be able to see their emotions...without the oversized hands.

I'm in the middle of the 2nd timeloop, and I've noticed the second arc seems to have more difference from the anime than the first one. It's a lot more interesting to read.

is it a game or what?

I seem to not be able to download the games,it says that I can't since its over 200 MB and the site says i'm not allowed.

Help please?

use DA Free

it says i have to download it using ilivid ? and it's not working because i have i livid and it keeps on telling me to download i livid witch i already have installed ? so please help me :(?

1st, click on the \DA-Free: Game Download\ then click on Higurashi part1. On the next page that will appear, dont click on the Big \Download normal\ or \Download Premium\ buttons. Click on the \tel?chargement libre\ button (it means free download in french.) Next page that appears, write the captcha thingy and wait 120 seconds then click on the \creent le lien de tel?chargement\. Your download should start not long after you did that. Do the same thing for higurashi part2. I hope i helped.

How do you exactly deal with part files? Do you simply put them altogether into one folder?

I really want to play (read?) this but am having problems downloading it - every time I try extracting the part files I keep getting "File is Broken" so nothing works - what do I do?

I'm downloading this since the one I have contains only the first 3 arcs and I want to play it all soon.Still,thanks a lot for the downloads :D

I Dloaded this and I only got 3 chapters wheres the 4th one?

I really need a quick tutorial on this, it just wont let me download them. Keeps saying its generating but nothing happens.

I downloaded it but I have to idea how to open it. It has given me a choice from windows media player, winRaR archiver, adobe reader 9.1, internet explorer, kingsoft powerpoint and a few others. I have tried the first 3 and they didnt work. I tried another and it didnt even open to tell me that it isnt working. im soooo fed up can someone please tell me what to use to open it. thanks

It has the original BGM?

Thanks for the game.
Can you upload the minigames / the japanese version with the minigame patch?

Hi ^^; This might sound annoying, but I was wondering about these downloads and the fact that they look free, but you also provided a link to another site where you could buy the game. If I download this game free, will I not have all the content or will I be optionally pirating it, or...?

It always says that i need to wait 3 minutes and 33 seconds, but i didnt download anything recently...

Part two isn't working for me-
It says it's broken...
Anyway to fix that? I'm redownloading it but I don't know if it'll work.

Im curios but where can I get the VA for this version or will I go having to look all over the place for it or is there no VA's on this version like ive heard?

Is there a crack?

when i try to download higurashi the download always fails and tells me there was a network error. it does this with umineko too

ok, I downloaded it and everything, but it's only giving me the first 3 chapters. Chapter 4 seems to be missing? Or do I have to play through them all to unlock chapter 4? Please help, I don't know what wrong.

nice hentai vn, thx for uploading this!

Does anyone know if there's an english patched version of Higurashi Kizuna (the DS port) or Matsuri (the PS2 VN) floating around anywhere?

The+files+are+in+.arc+format+.+How+do+I+extract+them?

hey can you give us a quick tutorial on how to install this? i get everything in the folder but it doesnt open

Help! Can someone explain me why there are so many higurashi titles in this page? Do I need to download all in order to have the complete experience of the game? Do I need to put all in the same folder? How does this work? Thanks

is this the old mangagamer translation or the steam one?

Did anyone get this to work?

I couldn't have the download link working, it just does the whole countdown and then disappears without leaving any links, any suggestions?
