Is the switch game just the first chapter? Given the price I assumed it’s all the chapters (not relevant for the club purposes I don’t think, but on Steam you can either buy the whole game, or the individual chapters)

P - Console Exclusive? - Prologue
C - Part of Ch.1 in PC - Common Route
1 - Ch.1 Onikakushi
2 - Ch.2 Watanagashi
3 - Ch.3 Tatarigoshi
4 - Console Exclusive - Tsukiotoshi
5 - Console Exclusive - Taraimawashi
6 - Console Exclusive - Someutoshi
In the Timeline of them happening:
Then you have also Hou+ and the answer arcs in the Switch version.

That is beyond confusing… But sounds like the PC version gets everything (but old school unless you patch), and the switch version gets some things but prettier + original content? (Like what happened with Tsukihime remake)
Glad I’m borrowing from a friend lol

It’s not just the switch, but something the Consoles get. But yeah, in usual 竜騎士07 fashion, nothing can be simple and everything has to be a convoluted mess and confusing, including the stories itself.
In any case, for club purposes, the PC version with the mod can be identical to the Switch version. While I would love to continue and complete the thing, most people will want to jump to other titles I imagine, so there’s that.

I’m assuming you can text hook on PC yeah? That will probably decide it for me as I’d rather have the prettier one on Switch, but text hooking is such a QOL upgrade that I can’t pass it up.

Should be able to get the pretty version with the mod and a hook just fine in PC.
Here’s the TextractorConfig.txt for the moded version, the non-moded version might look slightly different:
string:Equals (string,string) string:Concat (string,string)
And here’s SavedRegexReplacements.txt to remove the HTML tags:
|REGEX|(<([\/a-zA-Z=#0-9+])*>)|\\n|BECOMES| |MODIFIER|g|END|

You are more than welcome!
Mind you this is for the moded version. If you play the OG, you might need to play with the hooks and REGEX replacers

gotcha. I regularly forget that other consoles exist, b/c it’s the only one I own 
The mod you linked above says it’s not compatible w/ the JP versions btw… It works fine w/ Steam version regardless of language
I wish the Switch version had all 8 of the main story. 残念… for PC, It looks like this bundle has everything after Ch. 1 then, besides the console-exclusives

Actually we didn’t even decide yet who is making the home thread.

They are either referring to these ancient disks I have from Comiket when it came out:
Or the ones that you can find in digital JP distro sites, such as DMM.
The switch has 19 arcs, and the main 8 ones are included, you have a list here:
The screenshot above involved only the question arcs, and not the answer arcs, thus you are not seeing the “other 4 main” ones
The list above includes:
- 4 Question Arcs
- 4 Answer Arcs
- 2 Rei Arcs (They come from a fan disk)
- 9 Console-exclusive Arcs
(Total 19 Arcs)

They are from comiket, and they are a bit of a personal treasure now.
You can see the lack of barcode

Should we decide how to split and pacing first and start date?
Or we will create a home thread with placeholders and then discuss?

Sorry for my late answer I am pretty busy with classes. I think we should decide the start date and pacing first imho.
@senkuma Do you want to run the home thread for Higurashi or should someone else do it?
I nobody else wants to do it I will run the home thread but like I wrote I am busy with classes the threads may be a little late.

I’m far too busy and would be likely to mess it up. Would be nice if someone more reliable could handle that

I’m super unreliable but I will make the home thread it will just
take some time. No idea how to make an awesome thread or how to use discourse properly but I will figure something out.

I have never run a home thread, I’m aware of how to do styling in discourse, but I might need help with stuff that it’s not as easy as copying other templates, such as how to split the game in parts.
Speaking of splitting the game in parts, it’s related to the club pacing, and is probably too tight to start the 15th of March.
If you are both busy I don’t mind giving it a try. Seeing as it’s going to be only a home thread and not divided per weeks I shouldn’t be making too many mistakes?

It would be awesome if you could do the home thread.
About how to split the game. I checked it today and the game seems to be divided by TIPS screens. There 16 chapters, of course I have no idea if they are around the same length.
I would split the first Higurashi visual novel into four or five parts but I’m sure the other club members would hate me for that and would prefer a much slower pace.
