It has recently come to our attention that our most recent print run of Higurashi When They Cry Hou + (USB Hardcopy) has been targeted in what appears to be a supply chain malware attack. We are still in the process of investigating situation and consulting legal counsel about our options, but immediately we advise that anyone who has purchased Higurashi When They Cry Hou + (USB Hardcopy) after 7/9/2025 7/3/2025* refrain from using the USB stick to install the game, as the Windows installers in this printing appears to have been compromised. Please note that the download editions of the game (available on MangaGamer.com, Steam, and GoG) have NOT been affected by this issue.
