Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai (Android port)

Title screenADV modeNVL modeTsumihoroboshi CGMinagoroshi screenshotMatsuribayashi screenshot

Description:

This is an unofficial Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai Android port. It features updated graphics, voice acting, and music from both the original game and the console ports. All four answer arcs are ported.

Before downloading make sure you bought Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai arcs either PC version or Console ports.

Download links:
  1. PS3 Sprites. Full apk, ~1.66 GB
    https://mega.nz/file/7bgGRTwD#xx3wjKK8yYDl1yP7fGsSmt-DKNHKq4ZZ06g8qAcOlo4
  2. PS3 Sprites. Apk + obb, ~1.66 GB
    https://mega.nz/folder/aPgSVLAT#Led9wiNoz0U2x7F8rUavvQ
  3. Since apk is limited to 2GB, I can't insert Minagoroshi and Matsuribayashi voices directly into the apk, so you need to install them separately. Download the archives with voice files and extract voice folder to "/Android/data/com.ps3.higurashi_kai/files/game/" directory: https://mega.nz/folder/TSxiHJRD#_sROSZbrHUREqLhOIZfiEw

EXTRAS:
Extract files to "/Android/data/com.ps3.higurashi_kai/files/game/" directory.
Reinstall the game if it crashes after creating the "game" folder.


Changelog:
– v2.04 (March 26th, 2021):
  • Matsuribayashi-hen is now available for reading.
  • Updated sprites
  • Bug fixes and improvements
– v2.03 (January 15th, 2021):
  • Minagoroshi-hen is now available for reading.

TachibanaDarwin aka darwin07
-07- – Original Ren'py version for Russian script with original and PS2 graphics and music.

    2. All four question arcs are available, but the next arc is unlocked only after completing the previous one, or you can unlock them all in Extra menu.
      Also, it's only Meakashi if you downloaded from this page.

    1. I shouldve mentioned this sooner, but I have the same problem with both the original and kai

    2. Have you tried installing no obb version? If it doesn't work too, then your phone probably doesn't support this port. Or maybe you put the obb file in the wrong place? It should be in Android/obb/com.ps3.higurashi_kai

      Delete
  12. Ah I found the problem, I never took it out of the problem, I never took it out of the apk+obb folder it comes in. It now works. Thank you so much for helping me and for being so responsive

  19. What does obb mean if you don't mind me asking?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. It's an apk expansion file with all game assets. To put it simply, you only have to install small in size apk and then separately put all game assets (obb file) in Android/obb/package_name/ folder.

    1. If by the last chapter you mean Matsuribayashi, then it's already out. There's also Saikoroshi but I don't know whether I should use fan translation or wait until MangaGamer release Rei. There is a way to play Rei with fan translation using ONScripter, though

    1. Some dialogues were not voice acted in Console ports due to censorship or other reasons. Most likely this is the case.

  41. When extracting it said something about repeated numbered folders. I skipped them so hopefully no issues. Not sure what exactly the structure of the game folder is supposed to look like, do I keep things separate or merge the voice voice folders? Do I keep the ps3 sound effects in the ps3 folder or just move the sounds folder into the game folder?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. The game folder should have "sound" and "voice" folders, you don't need to separate voice folders. Overwrite and merge files and folders if necessary.

  58. Hello.
    I've just tried the port and everything seems to work fine except for one small issue: there are black bars on each side of the screen, in addition to the text and user interface being too small. I'm not sure if there is a way to fix this, or if it's related to my mobile's screen resolution, if it is the later, can you provide a guide on how to fix it, please?

    Thanks in advance.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. The game has 16:9 resolution and your phone's screen resolution is probably different, so the game doesn't fully fit in your screen. That's why there are black bars, it can't be fixed, unfortunately.

  59. Completed Matsuribayashi-hen yesterday and just wanted to say this was an excellent port. Super glad I was able to experience the Answer arcs through it with the 07th Mod enhancements. After playing the Question arcs on PC, it was great to have a near-identical experience on Android. Not sure if the PC version has this as well, but the ability to switch individual tracks via the music selection menu was a really great feature I liked in this port since I preferred some alternate tracks over the default. All in all just wanted to show my appreciation, and it's fortunate that I got into Higurashi by the time this project was already completed. Can't wait to start playing the Console arcs!

  60. Is it possible for anyone to post a video on how to properly put in the voice acting mods, I have been attempting to do it on my android for the past hour and no luck, I can only hear the voice at the beginning of the 7th episode, but then everything else is just mute for some reason. Please help

  61. If I downloaded the apk and obb, would that include the voices for the last two chapters as well?, like I won't need to attempt to install anything?

    ReplyDelete
  62. ALRIGHT I GOT IT.
    For anyone wondering, Create a folder called "game" in the place where the save folders are, the log file and such. After, unpack the voices into the game folder, there will be a new folder in the game folder called voice, this should contain both the voices from both files. In regards to sound, unzip its contents to the game folder. For unzipping, I used my pc as zarchiver was making multiple folders and it did not even properly work. Thus uzip those files on your pc then put them into the game folder
