Welcome!

Welcome to the world of Higurashi Ch.8 - Matsuribayashi.

In this world, you will be able to recreate the story from Hanyuu's point of view.

Your objective is to create the June 1983 ideal to you.

You will need to collect many different Fragments to make that possible.

However, Takano's conviction is very strong.

To overturn it, you will need a lot of effort and a lot of Fragments.

I'll warn you right now... it'll be a slow and painful process.

Hanyuu went through it for over a hundred years, and she even had to stop and give in to fate.

Defeating Takano's conviction will not be easy.

The trial in this world will put you through as much pain as Hanyuu had to endure.

You may surrender, just like Hanyuu did, after being emotionally worn down by the constant repetition of the worlds woven by countless Fragments.

When you feel like surrendering,

you can end this game at any time.

But if you do, the worlds revolving around your friends' fate will be limited to Onikakushi through Minagoroshi.

By forgetting about this world and uninstalling this product, you will finally accept death.

Just like Rika did.

Your ideal June 1983 can be created by putting together fifty Fragments that are scattered all over this world.

To connect these Fragments together, you will need the right ones.

There are fifty of them, which may be dizzying.

However, this world isn't that merciless.

To ease your pain, there'll be a little help for you.

When you choose the wrong pieces...

Your only ally here will give you a sign that it's not yet time to put those Fragments together.

As long as the sign remains, you won't be able to connect them.

You might as well go look for different ones.

After you put other Fragments together, you might be able to connect the ones you couldn't put together earlier.

When that happens, she'll let you know.

Let's put those Fragments together.

Then you'll be able to join the other ones, too.

When you connect all fifty, they'll become one big Fragment.

There you'll find your ideal June 1983.

That's when the long awaited Matsuribayashi will begin.

Before you peek at each Fragment, why don't you line up all fifty of them first?

Most of them require other Fragments, so there are only a few you can actually look at.

Let's try to find those first.

To see the conditions for connecting Fragments, just point the cursor at them.

Before anything else, let's find the ones you can look at without any conditions.

This will be an extremely long and difficult trial.

Let me tell you again, Hanyuu challenged this for over a hundred years and gave up on it.

If you believe in miracles in the same way your friends do...

Even if you don't live in the world where they live, if you believe in them...

Welcome.

Welcome to the world of Higurashi Ch.8 - Matsuribayashi.

In this world, you'll be tested to see if you believe in the world that Rika and the others believed in.

A miracle only happens when everyone combines their strength.

The June 1983 created by Takano is nearly indomitable.

She's gathered many people whose powers are beyond the average person to her side, her backers being at the center of national authority.

Even if a hundred dice all rolled ones, there wouldn't even be a chance to defeat her.

In other words, a miracle is the only way forward.

A miracle happens only when everyone combines their strength.

And you are one of them.

Are you ready?

I'm more than ready.

The key to a long journey is not to pressure yourself too hard.

Well, let's take it at a light pace.

I'll work while drinking my usual wine.

Shall we begin?

We have all the time in this world.
