Umineko no naku koro ni: Episode 1 English Patch

[mineMissHellsing]

um... so is the ep 1 demo completely free...?

[alloalload]

@mineMissHellsing yes. yes it is :D

[notsusan]

I think it's wonderful that 07th Expansion supports you guys and all, and considering the amount of text in these things I realize it's a tough job, but honestly I hope you guys either find a better editor, or someone with more translation experience. If I can figure out exactly what the Japanese was from your wording, that's not a good sign. :\

[tristan687]

ok so the game is patched but where can i download the game that the patches are for

[bessycake1012009]

is this the sequal to higrashi no naku koro ni

[FullmetalFan12345]

@bessycake1012009 its not really a sequal. Its just kinda related to it, and is very similar. Its by the same guy, and Frederica Bernkastel is in it. But otherwise than character similarities, i dont think there's anything else. But it is in the same style of Higurashi. {and made by the same guy.}

[dillonnoilld]

What is this??

[MiniDora93]

My question is a bit different from the others:

I wanted to ask how to record video and programme sound at the same time like this one.

many screen recorder cannot support to record programme sounds.

i try to use fraps but fraps don't support to record anything from this game.

i really want to record it, please help me.

[ChubbyEmmy]

How do you actually play this game? Do you just read or can you move? Also which console is it =(?

[anneloes2]

It's for the PC only.

[UnlimitedShoWorks]

PC. It's a visual novel. A book you read with images and sound.

[ChubbyEmmy]

@UnlimitedShoWorks Thanksss

[moichispa]

I have seen patch to read it on PSP on animesuki forums and in Nintendo DS ( I do not remember where)

[Kirroha]

If I want to buy Episode 5 right now, and later when Episode 6 comes out, do I just pay some more to upgrade or do I have to buy Episode 6 which also contains Episode 5? But that way I'll have to pay more.

[fchronotrig]

You would have to buy EP6 in its entirety, I'm afraid. The best way to save money is to buy the last of the set (either EP7 or EP8, we don't know yet), but if you want to stay up to date, you'll need to buy the full package each time a new episode comes out.

[espio329]

@fchronotrig ep 7 has been confirmed it's requiem of the golden witch

[SparkyDreams]

When i downloaded for windows, i opened it, it said 'The Witch Hunt', Went Black, and closed.

Halp? !D:

[fchronotrig]

Read the "Getting Started" page on our website.

[xLadyBernkastelChanx]

Omg same thing happened to me ;o

I'm really confused..;;

[Larxenekingdomhearts]

Battler you moe I haven't played this lately, i forgot how creepy ep 1 is....also this is all happening because battler won't accept beatrice oh god

[RetroCrescendo]

It's actually all happening because of Battler's 'sin', which he can't remember. If that's even the real Battler, of course.

[Larxenekingdomhearts]

yeah thats what I meant to say... he is dumb for it though!!! not really battler is a huge moe

[kappiecandy]

how do you put it in englissshhh?!!!!

im dying to understand what these thing meaaannn1!

AAAAAAAAAHHHH1!

[chiirela]

the anime have 26 episodes

[darknessincarnate56]

any idea why when using onscripter to play the game I have problems with the sound while when I play the original game in japanese the sound is fine?

[Mewstarangel]

How do you get this game?

[fchronotrig]

For getting this game, just check the Getting Started page on our website, which has links.

[clokiey]

Do you have to buy the game and then install the patch or is this for torrent?

[sakurakakashi5000]

Also I accedendtly dragged my umineko game out of the folder file and when I run it back it won't show up in finder.

[fchronotrig]

Send us an email with the details and we'll get you started.

Our email address is on the Contact Us page of our website.

[sakurakakashi5000]

For some reason when I downloaded the patch for episode 4 for mac it didn't come up as a folder. And I still can't move the file up one level also your mediafire file isn't working for mac

[Allizare]

is this a game?

[LadyGhost3]

it's a visual novel! :-) Thanks for the upload so cool!

[LadyGhost3]

er well...a sound novel actually.

[kkaixi]

Yes, I believe so.

[Kott0nButt]

oo i wanna try the demo. but the link to download it doesnt seem to work :O

[Luaparn]

Mmmmmmmh, I thought something was missing, my game doesn't have any background, only the characters on a black one

[gentleuterus]

Thanks for translating! Just finished episode three. Holy crap@!

[skullchukka]

Umineko is a doujin game. Which means it is very cheap. You can wait for August and buy the 5th Visual Novel, which will highly contain the previous 4 titles.

[fchronotrig]

Actually, the fifth game will be the start of When They Cry 4, so it will be packaged separately from the other 4 games.

However, it can be pre-ordered at Himeya now (check our website for the link)

...The translation patch will be a little time coming though.

[skullchukka]

Umm yeah that's what I thought after posting that comment, thus I ended up asking in as forums xD

[rongrong07]

Where i can download this game ... and Higurashi too ?

[potsdamcsc]

You can download Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni - Onikakushi (the first one) at 07expansion's (creator's webiste) website: 07th-expansion(dot)net/hi_Main­(dot)htm

[ZoehiNeko]

How can I download it? I dont understand japanese u.u

[Requiem1160]

You can't - I've tried and looked all over the site.

[ZoehiNeko]

u.u thanks

[fchronotrig]

There's a link to the demo on our website.

Follow that, scroll down and click one of the links that start with 'ミラー#', where # is a number between 7 and 14.

For more info on getting the game, just check the Getting Started tab on our website.

[niknaheartatak]

well for higarushi the second season made sense of things, it was a tad unfortunate the second season didnt have many twists spirited away by ogres is definately best

[UmbreonEspeon4EVER]

Iwant the game!! Where can I get it?? XD XD

[fireflower12]

You know it's gonna be a good show when the first thing you see in it is a giant explosion

[xXxMrSgErArDwAyxXx1]

this is...a game? I MUST HAVE IT

[nishkathygod]

june 2nd the anime is starting btw

[naturesprayer]

*july

[fireflower12]

thought it was july 2nd

[narutogirl712]

it is now

[animewatcherkind]

wait...it's a game and not an anime??? i saw the manga but thought it would be an anime like higurashi no naku koro ni...since it was the same creator....

[fchronotrig]

Higurashi was also based on a game. If you've only seen the anime version of Higurashi, you only know about half of the story because the first season had to be rushed.

However, the Umineko anime version will start airing on July 1.

[sakurakakashi5000]

Can you guys give a translation file of episode 2 and 3 for mac?And when instaling what do you mean by ''move everything in the fullsrc folder up one level'' (As it says on your site to get started)

[fchronotrig]

Since it's more or less impossible (and completely pointless) to buy Episodes 2 and 3 anymore, we are not updating them with new edits or new versions.

Remember, all games include all earlier games.

Move up one level means what it says. Just move the files out of the fullsrc folder into the main Umineko folder.

[fchronotrig]

And just so you know, you can move the Mac version of onscripter-en from any other Mac patch into the those patch folders to make them runnable on Mac.

[GaaraIsKira]

How do you install the game after you downloaded the file?Any help would be greatly appreciated!

[fchronotrig]

Try reading the readme in the patch folder and the Getting Started page of our website.

Then, email us if you have any specific problems.

[CrystalStarlight95]

WHERE'S EPISODE 2?!?!?!?!

[12eebok]

The art is a little bit of a put-off but I'm sure it more than compensates with a quality story and characters.

[Superduck779]

oh that noise at 8:03 always scares me so much! Anyways, I'm about to start episode 3 so I'd like to know if the full patch for episode 4 will be out any time soon. I really wanna know what happens and stuff so could you please announce an approximate of when your next patch will be?

[PhantomLegendDeity]

u sure this is ep 1?

[Number35Mariko]

It is

[the5y5tem]

I love this game.

[goatsonfire500]

this has some bad ass music but the higurashi chars are more lovable

[Vinitachi]

You can't deny Battler. You can't.

[elothras]

I'm sorry but could you please tell me where to get that visual novel translated to English?

[garowice]

can anyone help me? My game is playing with out music! my computer can read english but everyone says thing about changing unicode but i dont know how to do that T_T

[fchronotrig]

For all questions, first check out the Getting Started tab of our website. It has a link which tells you how to set your computer up in Japanese local.

If you're still having trouble, you can email us about the details.

[Uvthenfuv]

I think I found a minor glitch... in the patch for Alliance of the Golden Witch the tags of the save files from Ep. 3 are missing the 'Ep3' data, they only write out the date the save was made on.

BTW once again thanks for translating this great VN :)

[CheripieChan]

what kind of game console is this game for?

[fchronotrig]

The game with the patch works on Windows XP, Vista, and Mac.

You can also get it running on Linux if you're willing to do a little research.

[TheSupremelyEvilOne]

Higurashi has more insane characters and its already been made into an anime

[fchronotrig]

In that case, I suggest you read the 3rd and 4th games in Umineko.

You might find something you like...

[TheSupremelyEvilOne]

Higurashi no naku koro ni is better

[TRCaddik]

in what way? the graphics?

i know one has a freedom of opinion, but storyline has improved by quite a bit from higurashi, so i find it slightly more interesting than higurashi (although both are at the top of my favorites)

[eeveesnoopy]

agreed about higurashi no naku koro ni. ma fav anime

[RingoAkai]

Why the story line in umineko is better the art is better the games are longer the characters are more real

[Animeusa]

Wo0t! The anime's coming this summer! YEAH!

[NekoSaku12a]

Ewh. I don't like the drawing style.. But, Who cares, I want it. xD

[TRCaddik]

one point: it might not look great NOW, but wait until a group re-creats it (like what alchemist did to higurashi)

and plus, MUSIC AND STORY LINE PWNSSSS

[Touchmon]

I got the demo and the patch but the patch doesn't work on my computer. It doesn't even show as a folder.

[fchronotrig]

A rar file is a type of compressed folder. Google winrar.

[Touchmon]

Thanks. I got it to work.

[Kyaksa]

the demo works but i can't get the freakin' patch to work D:!!!!!

[fchronotrig]

Don't worry, just check the links on our website to figure out how to contact us, and we'll lend a hand.

First check the Getting Started section of the website and read the Readme file in the patch again, just to be sure.

[Kyaksa]

;) I finally got it too work and was worth it.

[TeaPot57]

haha this video is kinda cruel endin it in a massive cliffhanger

nice job

[Pokeball26]

nooo!!! This is a freaking tease!!! I was really getting into to... I'm looking for the first game, and followed the link on ur webpage, but all they had was EP4!! any suggestions? also, I really REALLY appreciate the fact that you're translating the games! ( I'm about to die now just waiting for the subbed anime/manga...)

[fchronotrig]

No, that website has links to patches for all of the games. Also, each game includes all of the earlier games in it.

If you want to try it out, I suggest you start with the free official demo (also linked to by our website), which includes the entire first game.

[Pokeball26]

OMG!!! OK! I'LL DO IT! I'LL DO IT!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!! (had no idea they included the earlier versions in them...)

[Kyaksa]

:( i have a huge problem with the patches and demo... D: higurashi only works in japanese no matter when i add the folder into the patch...

Umineko won't work period. Is it because I'm in Italy??? and will this be a problem when i actaully have the REAl 4 games ;O;?!

[XclampxanimeX]

my god i screamed at the end! this is like grudge!

[nausicaa156]

Is there any playing on this game or is it all reading? Because I can't reas that fast all the time.

[yuffie876]

when does the anime come out

itll be good like higurashi no naku koro ni right?

[fchronotrig]

To get your questions answer, visit our website, which is posted on the video's info.

[fireyasha]

I downloaded the game and patch but it won't work.. Do you have any idea what I'm doing incorrectly?

[ilovewendyandsparky]

Umineko just doesn't scare me...I hope it gets scarier than this.

[RingoAkai]

Have you played all the game then umineko is much scarier than higurashi especially if you go to sleep remembering the magic circles

[ilovewendyandsparky]

I have a mac so I can't. I just wanted to make sure it got really good. Thanks!

[RingoAkai]

You know that you can play the game if you have a mac to

[ilovewendyandsparky]

Omg, really? Ok, I'll have to check it out now. Thank you!

[RingoAkai]

you just need to download another version of the onscripter look in the umineko translation tread on animesuki(dot)com

[WhyDoYouLieToMe]

Inorite?! After I finished playing the game, I had a nightmare that was very similar to this and it involved Beatrice. Higurashi never once did something like that to me. XD

[Erisan101]

Were did you get the game?

[burnfireburn]

So I have the import the game to apply the patch?

[fchronotrig]

The patch only changes the text in an existing copy of the game. In other words, it is completely useless if you haven't bought the game already. You can get Umineko episode 3 at Himeya Shop or Paletweb for a pretty good price, and the third episode has episodes 1 and 2 included.

And the patch for the first half of episode 3 should be ready in a few weeks...

[TRCaddik]

hey.. question... is an english patch for a visual novel only a translation which you install into the game... which you have to buy... or is it a download with the game itself already?

[LemonLFlavoredLTea]

This is much scarier than the original :D

I want to know what happened next~ Dx

[clevomon]

Waaaah... No fair, you can't stop there... -_-

[MaurJacobLUV]

Seeing this makes me want to play it more.  I'll have to look into some things...

[fchronotrig]

The patch for the second game, Turn of the Golden Witch, has been released.

You can get more information at the animesuki forums. Check the Games board.

[Quizerno]

I don't know who to love more.

07thexpansion for making this wonderful game.

Or the people who take the time out of their lives to translate it.

Thanks for uploading!

[littleangel0124]

0_0 must...know... more!!

[Kyaksa]

:( where do i download the game???

[SeaBoiC]

where can i get the patch? and for what console is it?

[DemonedAway]

The link for the patch is in the description, and the game is for PC, I think...

[NightingaleMoon13]

....I'm.....really creeped out now. I think I might get my paranoia back now.....BUT I WANNA SEE MORE!!!!

[RocaDeearCenjar]

You know, when I saw Higurashi no naku koro ni I didn't find it scary, just a bit sad at times. But this... this creeps me out.

[tsukixan]

yeah ºwº

[BoredShinn]

Great game, just finished it last night. The English patch was more than helpful.

[Coolgrr890]

I need to know what happens next! =D

[girlgamer2]

I love you all for making this patch!

[rainbowpup13]

OMG

[xxxeu0xxx]

That patch is really awesome.
