Integration of stories

The work places multiple scripts from the series into a single reading system, with both the main story and side quests using character dubbing. Reading does not rely solely on the current chapter: information, character experiences, and information from different stories need to be gradually cross-referenced, making chapter management an important part of this integrated version.

Chapters and Q&A

The system provides plot flowcharts and recap functions; Additionally, there is a "Shrine Shock" quiz, with ten questions per round, each time limited to six seconds. Different difficulty levels correspond to different story categories, allowing players who already know the story to adjust their reading pace by answering questions. It has two different functions compared to the choice branch within the story.

Version History

This game supports save data interplay between PS3 and PS Vitta. After being published by Kaga Create on March 12, 2015, Entergram relaunched the product on April 3, 2017; According to the official explanation, both have identical game content, save files and trophy data can be carried over, and re-releases cannot be regarded as another story remake.

Nineteen chapters and multiple perspectives

Suihui gathers content from consoles such as festivals and knots, containing nineteen stories. Onikakushi, Wataryu, and Susatsu unfold from Keiichi's daily life; Returning to Showa 53 (1988), Memei turned to Shion, while Zenden, Kagebo, and Kaisai expanded their investigations to Kakiuchi and urban life.

The campus and the people of the village

Keiichi spends time with Rena, who cares for him, and Mion, who works in the organization club; Rika and Satoko are underclassmen, and Chie is responsible for teaching. Shion works part-time at the Xinggu restaurant, and the disappearance of Satoru and Teppei's return trigger her story with Satoko; Doctor Irie, nurse Takano, and detective Oishi connect to other living spaces in the village.

Clear character relationships

Mion and Shion are twin sisters; Satoshi is Satoko's older brother, and Teppei is her uncle. Kumagai is a subordinate of Nobuyori Oishi, Okamura is close friends with Tomita, and Akasaka and Tomoe assist in investigating village cases at different stages.

Q&A and cross-archiving

Level 4 Oyashiro Shock quiz presents ten questions within sixty seconds to unlock chapters through the level. PS3 and Vita can transfer save files; all nineteen main and side stories use full voiceover, and there are over 200 event CGs on screen.

Shame and the era span

The Shy Show Arc is the first gamified version of the festival's limited edition short stories, supplementing daily life with pool comedy. The Yoigoshi arc returns to the village more than twenty years after the disaster, while the Kotoshiki arc tells the story of a ghost-hunting girl during the Onigabuchi Village era, offering perspectives different from the main era.

Reissued in 2017

ENTERGRAM resumed digital distribution on April 3, 2017, clearly stating that it is the same software as the Kaga Creative Edition released on March 12, 2015. Existing buyers can download it again, and trophies and archives are compatible.

Cross-platform archiving

Cross-platform saves in the manual can be uploaded and downloaded online; PS3 and Vita must use the same Sony Entertainment Network account. The download overwrites the data already available on the receiving end.

Shadow Spinning Section: Dashi initiates an investigation

The opening takes place just days after the Hinamizawa disaster in 1983. Oishi visits his old acquaintance Akasaka and points out suspicious aspects of the disaster, prompting the two to begin a joint investigation.

Jie Dan Chapter: Ba's position at the time and the former jurisdiction

The mysterious death that triggered the investigation occurred in the Ibaraki Prefectural police district where she previously worked, prompting Nagisa to ask this familiar detective for help.

Waiting to answer in advance during the Q&A

Each question has a fixed six-second time slot: even if you finish early, you must wait until the six-second period ends before moving on to the next question; If you fail to answer within the time limit, you will be forced to change the question. After the entire round lasts sixty seconds, the system determines whether the pass is based on the correct answer rate.
