Higurashi ch.2 Watanagashi - Graphic Mod 1.0 now available

This doesn’t include the voices, but the author of the latter should make the sync between both mods soon I guess.

My try at doing a custom sprite of Higurashi for fun, along with the expressions. Though poses variations and the other clothes aren't done. Yet. May do them later, but I'm rather planning to continue with one for Rena as well first. 

Our next major announcement is Umineko When They Cry from 07th Expansion, creators of Higurashi When They Cry!

In Umineko, the player will join Battler, a scion of the wealthy Ushiromiya family, as he attends their annual reunion on the island of Rokkenjima for the first time in six years. However, that night, a disaster falls upon the Ushiromiya family, and they all begin to fear for their very lives. Battler’s cousin Maria believes the golden witch Beatrice has returned and committed murder through magic, but Battler doesn’t believe in such a fantasy. Still, could anyone in his family really have killed their own kin for the sake of riches? You know both the situation leading up to the incident and its tragic result, but the course of events is an enigma, and no one willing to share the whole truth. What really happened on Rokkenjima that night?

Fans of Higurashi will already be familiar with Umineko‘s unique manner of storytelling—over the span of eight different chapters the player will experience several different ways in which events of the murder may have played out. None are certain. All bear truth. Will you be able to piece together the real story of what happened that day by the climactic finale? Accompanied by a soundtrack worthy to deem this prose a ‘sound novel’ just by itself, this enticing tale is a must-read for anyone who enjoys thinking outside the box.

We’ll be working with the team at Witch Hunt to update the translation for Umineko alongside this new, official release on our platform and Steam. We’ll also be including new character artwork for this upcoming release! We plan to follow R07’s episodic release system with Umineko in order to to make it accessible with the new art as soon as possible, just as we have for Higurashi.

Holy shit, the hype is real.

“as soon as possible”. Well, see you in 5 years then, kek. Seems like they’ll use the Witch Hunt version and improve it, cool for them since they’ll get money from it.

No confirmation but the fact we saw them in the last news page pretty much proves Alchemist didn’t forget about them and most probably intend to release Hou’s arcs as a DLC.

You should ask the anon that ripped the game. So either on the thread of /jp/ or here :

I used the guide book of Matsuri that I imported for the choices. Pretty sure nobody ever scanned it.

Kizuna has got even more so it was difficult to unlock everything but this helped a lot for the first game :

Every tips of the original games should be in Sui.

Story wise, Alchemist adapted the 3 first arc into some kind of route game where choices gets you more or less heroine points to unlock the arcs.

The others arcs has got some extra scenes through choices as well, usually bad ends, but it’s not as major as with the first arcs. Himatsubushi has got Akasaka’s daughter added in the epilogue also, like in the manga.

Otherwise, there are obviously the exclusive arcs with ton of tips for them.

Sui doesn’t have animated scenes like Matsuri, don’t really know why. The CG menu is exactly the same otherwise. If by wallpaper you mean the Alchemist illustrations of the CG menu they’re just viewable like CGs and unlocked through the game as bonuses.

I guess my favorite arc would be either Tatarigoroshi or Tsumihoroboshi.

I don’t really have a “least favorite one” since it would look like I didn’t enjoy it, but by ranking it would be Watanagashi or Himatsubushi.
