Manual installation (Windows/Linux/Mac)¶

How to install the patch manually (for Windows, Linux, and Mac)¶

On Windows or Linux (any distro):

1. Find and open your game folder
   • On Steam: open your Steam library, choose the game from the list, right click on it and click on Properties. Switch to the LOCAL FILES tab and click on Browse local files...)
2. After downloading all the files needed for your version of the game, place them in the root folder (where the game .exe is)
3. Navigate inside HigurashiEp0X_Data/StreamingAssets (where X is the chapter number) and delete the folders CG and CGAlt
   • This is not a requirement but we recommend to delete the mentioned folders to save disk space and avoid any random issues
4. Select all the downloaded files placed in the root directory EXCEPT the file called [CHAPTER TITLE].Voice.and.Graphics.Patch.[VERSION NUMBER].zip and extract them (protip: use Extract Here from the context menu)
   • Extract the mentioned file after extracting all the others. Overwrite all files if asked
5. Delete all the downloaded files after ensuring the game is working as expected

On Mac OSX:

1. Find and open your game folder
   • On Steam: open your Steam library, choose the game from the list, right click on it and click on Properties. Switch to the LOCAL FILES tab and click on Browse local files...)
   • If you just see an icon called HigurashiEp0X (where X is the chapter number), you may need to right click it, then click "Show Package Contents" to show the Contents folder
   • The game folder (called Contents) should contain some folders like Resources, MacOS, Plugins, Frameworks, and others - we will only be modifying the Resources folder
2. After downloading all the files needed for your version of the game, place them in Resources/Data
3. Navigate inside Resources/Data/StreamingAssets and delete the folders CG and CGAlt
   • This is not a requirement but we recommend to delete the mentioned folders to save disk space and avoid any random issues
4. Navigate back to Resources/Data folder and extract the downloaded files using the following method:
   • Extract all archives EXCEPT [CHAPTER TITLE].Voice.and.Graphics.Patch.[VERSION NUMBER].zip
   • After all the other archives are extracted, you can then extract [CHAPTER TITLE].Voice.and.Graphics.Patch.[VERSION NUMBER].zip
   • Overwrite all files if asked
   • When finished, this should produce a HigurashiEp0X_Data folder (where X is the chapter number) - the full path will be Resources/Data/HigurashiEp0X_Data
5. Open a terminal window in the Resources/Data folder. Follow these steps if you don't know how to do it
   1. In the terminal window, type: rsync -avP HigurashiEp*/* . and hit enter (type the * literally)
   2. Wait until the files are copied to the right place
6. Delete all the downloaded files and any leftover HigurashiEp0X_Data folders (where X is the chapter number) after ensuring the game is working as expected
