The harrowing massacres and tragedy’s of Hinamizawa’s time loop have finally come to an end through the efforts of Rika, Keiichi, their friends and their broader community of allies. But as peace has returned to the village and the town welcomes in a much brighter June 1983, more tales await players – with other fragments, memories and worlds left to explore. Continuing their work on 07th Expansion’s sound novel series Higurashi: When They Cry Hou, MangaGamer are due to release the ‘Hou+’ collection via their official online store and Steam starting 9 November 2023, with pre-orders now open.
Hou+ offers four new arcs, including:
Outbreak
Keiichi and the others face a brand new tragedy. The mysterious virus and the panic it creates are such laughable sights.
Kamikashimashi Chapter
The tragedy spreads to Okonomiya, with no end in sight.
Who is behind all of this, and for what purpose?
Can it be stopped?
The tale of Higurashi Outbreak concludes here.
Hinamizawa Bus Stop
Welcome to Hinamizawa.
This is a slightly unusual fragment.
The original fragment which would eventually grow into Higurashi When They Cry.
Mehagashi Chapter (Hou+ Additional Scenario)
Tragedy that could destroy not only all of humanity, but the galaxy itself draws near…
Keiichi Maebara! Strip the girls of their swimsuits to defend the universe!
However, can Keiichi possibly win against the club members all by himself…?
It should be noted that none of these are arcs for the newcomer to the Higurashi: When They Cry franchise, and are for those weary travellers who have followed along with the journey from the start.
