Huzzah!

If you experience problems with downloading from RapidShare, you can try our folder on
MediaFire.
To install a translation patch, simply unzip the contents into a subdirectory of the original Japanese game; double-click "onscripter-en.exe" to play.
You can download the demo game
here. The download mirror sites are at the bottom of the page; follow the directions for which mirrors to use.
Someone put together a guide for buying Higurashi through one of the paid download sites; you can find it
here. Let us know if you have trouble.
If you use Mac OS X, you can download a OS X version of onscripter-en from
http://rapidshare.com/files/83920439...n-20080112.dmg. You should be able to drop the onscripter-en.app file from the dmg image into your translation patch subdirectory, and double-click to play.

Anyway, Day 5 contains more new material that wasn't in the anime, so enjoy!
We cleaned up some text in Day 4 as well, and of course there's that savegame fix I mentioned in my last post.
This release came pretty soon after Day 4, but don't go expecting to get the next release that quickly
! The next section (Day
9) is much longer than previous Days.
Please let us know what you think!
Also let me know if you have problems installing or running a patch.
