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.

I want to patch the game with the PS2 sprites,BG,Voice,etcc
Also do you know how to patch?
Is it just me being dumb? XD
Thanks :)
thanks for the game though! :)
finally there is an english version ...... X3
thanksssssss XDDD
and admin thanks for all the hard work.. currently enjoying my 6th game from here so far.. :D
Chapters 5-8 are each separate download.
Is it my internet or the files problem? T_T
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 ^_^
im in the middle of solving higurashi too, but i've finished Umineko no naku koro ni [its the second game developed by Ryu 07, after higurashi] and i must say i am extremely pleased with Umineko :D
really love it to bits. im very satisfied with higurashi so far.
im playing it and ive seen nothing eroge yet at all
This bundle contains chapters 1-4: Onikakushi, Watanagashi, Tatarigoroshi and Himatsubushi.
Admin, if you got the voices for this game, could you please upload them?
thank you :)
I mean, read below ^^
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.
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!
It´s just that i like voiced games better than the unvoiced. it adds more to the feeling (for example Rena´s USO DA! I love it.. xD). I would play this game anyway even if it had no voices (actually i did start already :P almost completed onikakushi-hen). i was just curious because i saw videos on youtube which contained voices and read about a voice patch..
I already have my version fully patched with the better Sprites, backround and BGM, so only the voice patch would be missing. But if it´s that bad, i dont want to use it^^.
thanks :D
However, I hope you enjoy Onikakushi-hen! ^^
You'll be surprised with Watanagashi-hen. Specially in the talk of Rena and Keiichi with "Mion" in her mansion. The true past of Hinamizawa is something that they censored in the anime, for its CREEPY references to the war... It's really interesting, with Mion's grandfather and all. And this arc (like all of them) does a great work making the reader feel exactly like Keiichi. You really can forget that "Mion" is Shion while reading, It's awesome.
But Tatarigoroshi-hen is the fucking best in the novels. A true masterpiece~
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
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!
