Higurashi Daybreak

Higurashi Daybreak

Released2006
Higurashi Daybreak is a doujin game developed and distributed by Twilight Frontier with the cooperation of 07th Expansion. Unlike the original sound novels, the game is a two-on-two versus third-person shooter based on the system of the Mobile Suit Gundam VS Series. Characters from "Higurashi no Naku Koro ni" utilize weapons such as bats and hatchets in battles set in Hinamizawa. The scenario is an original work by Ryukishi07 and does not feature the horror elements present in the source material. Despite being a doujin game, it employs the same voice actors as the original drama CDs and anime adaptation, which is unusual for fan-made games.

About This Game

A small box falls on Rika Furude's head while she is sweeping at the Furude Shrine. Inside are two magatama — one red, one white — the sacred treasures of the shrine. According to legend, whoever holds the red magatama falls unconditionally in love with whoever holds the white one. The school club tests this on the faculty. The results are conclusive enough that the members decide to hold duels to determine which pair gets to keep both magatama. What starts as an after-school activity spirals outward until it has drawn in all of Hinamizawa.
