The relentless cycle of tragedy surrounding Hinamizawa and the club members has finally ended. Peace has returned to the village as it welcomes June 1983. Yet there are other fragments, other memories, other worlds that still lie unexplored. Do you, the challenger who has seen and conquered the tragic past of Hinamizawa, have the heart and fortitude to peer into these tales that previously lay undisturbed? Tread lightly, and remember to savor your time with the club members of Hinamizawa.

From Novect, the creators of the highly acclaimed The House in Fata Morgana, comes Seventh Lair, a tongue-in-cheek but emotional look at the online interactions between an indie game developer and fans! The story follows the dejected DarkKnight, a 27-year-old indie game developer living at the bottom of the social hierarchy. With his career hanging on by a thread and the regulars on his forums criticizing, trolling, and clamoring for his next release, he declares that his next game will premiere on April Fool's. On the ill-fated day, both creator and fans are suddenly sucked into a fantasy world based on his game and forced to figure out how to clear his buggy, unfinished, monstrosity. As frustrations rise and tempers flare, the players' raw emotions and experiences begin to leak out as they are denied the protections of their online handles. What truths lie behind the masks of their personas? Can they survive the game and each other? Or will they manage to find their way back to reality together? https://youtu.be/Lz2vr8I9Uik Get your copy today! Available in English, Japanese, Chinese, and French!

"In this next game, I won't give you the privilege of being a player!" challenges creator Ryukishi 07, with regards to his newest release, Ciconia When They Cry! In Ciconia When They Cry, World War 3 has come and gone, with nuclear winter only narrowly avoided by new military technology, the Gauntlet, which allows those wielding one to fly like fighter jets, fight like battleships, and repel attacks like tanks without any additional equipment. The Gauntlets require particular talent and special training administered from a young age in order to control, and the young boys and girls capable of mastering of them become known as Gauntlet Knights. The main characters of Ciconia When They will be a group of these young Gauntlet Knights who, after the peaceful competition in the International Battle Standard Festival, become fast friends vowing to prevent another world war together. However, world events are leading directly to World War 4 like a cascading row of dominos, and these "main characters" are nothing but pawns in the global games played by those with a right to sit at the table. Will these youth be forced to murder each other? Can the tragedy of war be prevented by mere pawns? Who are the real players in these games, and will you, the fans of When They Cry, fight for your seat at this deadly game? This newest addition to the When They Cry franchise from Ryukishi07 and 07th Expansion is now available for pre-order on MangaGamer!

We've recently pushed out an update for Higurashi, which will address some of the issues people have brought up on the Steam forums. You can read the comprehensive list of changes below.

1.09 Update

Fixes

• The game will now scale down content to fit the screen when using full screen resolutions where content would normally have been cut off on the left and right side.
• If the game window is too small at launch, it will automatically resize to a usable resolution.
• Tweaked the screen shake effect to be a bit smoother.

1.08 Update

Fixes

• Added the chapter preview screen after clicking start game.
• Updated drawing code used on mac and linux releases. Characters should no longer sometimes appear blury.
• The engine is now set to pick the optimal rendering engine for your system rather than defaulting to DirectX 9 (on windows).

Modding

• Scripts in the 'Scripts' folder no longer automatically recompile. If you're making changes, please use the 'Update' folder to have scripts automatically recompile.

1.07 Update

Fixes

• Additional typo fixes.

Modding

• Added support for changing aspect ratio.
• Added support for moving the main UI.
• Added support for specifying name tags (see init.txt and test.txt for usage).

1.06 Update

Fixes

• Fixed negative screen transition occurring abnormally slow.
• Corrected an issue where you could cancel out of dialogs by right clicking even after hitting yes, causing the game to possibly break in horrifying ways.
• Fixed the same kind of issue on the save/load screen.
• The "Are you sure you want to load" dialog now shows the correct language for the text preview rather than always English.
• Fixed a few more text issues.

1.05 Update

Fixes

• Fixed some typos.

Modding

• Added a Chinese compatible font, set fontid to 3 in init.txt to use.
• The game should be a bit smarter about what scripts to recompile.

1.04 Update

Fixes

• To prevent some funny business from going on, you can no longer save while viewing tips.
• When returning from viewing tips, saving your game on the chapter screen will no longer cause you to return to the last line of the tip you viewed when you load. It should also have the correct save title.
• Attempting to save your game immediately after loading your game no longer causes unpredictable behaviour.
• When loading a game, returning to the title screen, or finish reading a tip, auto mode and skip mode will automatically cancel.
• The game will automatically recompile scripts in the update folder after a game update.
• Fixed some missing Japanese kanji that weren't present in font that appears in the after-scenario review party.
• Fixed some typos.

1.03 Update

Fixes

• Fixed a script/text desync issue in the festival scene.
• Fixed a bug in which save file names would show up in the wrong language when saving at the end of a chapter.
• Corrected one of the 'tips obtained' images being incorrect due to a recent correction.

1.02 Update

Features

• Press the 'P' key to swap between the original and new sprites. Note that to prevent bizarre bugs, you can only do this while the game is waiting for input.

Modding

• Init.txt and Flow.txt are now provided so you can make changes.
• Init.txt also has some new tools that were added to allow for easier control over the text window.

Fixes

• A few more typo and consistency fixes.
• The text shader was incorrectly targeting shader 3.0, which may have made some systems unable to see text properly.

1.01 Update

Features

• Added additional hotkeys. You can advance text using return, right arrow, page down, or the number pad enter button. The backlog can be brought up using left arrow or page up. You can turn on auto mode using the 'A' key, skip mode using the 'S' key, and toggle full-screen with the 'F' key. Also added keyboard shortcuts on several other screens.
• You can now use the 'L' key to switch between English and Japanese text display at any time.

Modding

• To assist modders, Cyrillic language characters were added to the game font.
• An 'update' folder was added to the StreamingAssets directory. For those interested in modding or making changes to the script files, placing scripts in this folder will take priority over those in the Scripts folder and will not be overwritten when we push out game updates.

Fixes

• A wide variety of typos and grammatical errors have been fixed.
• Fixed the incorrect background music playing when accessing the tips screen.
• The tips screen will return to the previously viewed page when returning.
• Fixed the beta (β) character not being displayed correctly in the Japanese script.
• Fixed a bug where when advancing rapidly multiple frames in a row, the game may not properly clear the 'wait for text' state, causing the caret to be incorrectly visible while the text hasn't finished typing yet.
• Fixed an issue where titles from saved games were being loaded before the selected language was being loaded, causing them to always show in English regardless of the specified language.
• Fixed an issue where the black bars would fail to completely cover the out of bounds area when the full-screen resolution is sufficiently large.
• Fixed the settings option for 'allow skip unread text' being written incorrectly in Japanese.
• Fixed a bug where the new sprites would always be shown for the tips images regardless of which sprites you had selected to use.
• Added the ability to swap languages without going to the settings menu by simply hitting the L key.
• Fixed a bug where save games would not show the Japanese name if they were saved while playing in English.
• Fixed a bug where switching languages after loading a save game would cause some previous text to no longer be visible.
