Higurashi: When They Cry - For Nintendo Game Boy
A work-in-progress port of Higurashi: When They Cry to the Nintendo Game Boy.
Currently, the novel is readable up to the end of the first day of the first question arc (roughly 30-60 minutes, depending on reading speed).
Due to the sheer immensity of this project, we anticipate the final release filling several maxed-out Game Boy cartridges. Think of it like a Final Fantasy VII type situation! :p
Character art is being done by Sydie. Programming and bitcrunching is being done by croweaver :) All assets are property of 07th Expansion and ryukishi07!

Hi, it was truly a pleasant surprise to find this. I was wondering if, once finished, there would be a possibility of porting it to Game Gear (or even Mega Drive). The development tools have made everything easier, and I also know people who would be happy to do these ports. Higurashi never had a game released on a Sega console due to the era in which the franchise was born, so it would be a dream come true for me. Cheers.
omg!!!!!! good luck with the development everypony <3
Im guess the save implementing for going different cartridges would be like LoZ Oracle games?
Hi! There shouldn't be a need to track progress between carts, since Higurashi is a perfectly linear VN. If for some reason I do find myself wanting to do that (for instance, maybe tracking Tips that the player has read?), I'll probably use a password system.
