In April 2008, Alchemist announced that they would be porting Higurashi Daybreak to the PlayStation Portable, and released the port on November 27, 2008. Also, a related short story, "Higurashi Outbreak", was included in the original soundtrack of the game, which was released on Apalong with the expansion Higurashi Daybreak Kai ( ひぐらしデイブレイク改). Hirukowashi-hen of Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Rei, released on December 31, 2006, is a novelization of this game. In Japan, the game is also called Hidebu, by taking the initials of the game (which, coincidentally, is homonymous to a well-known phrase in Fist of the North Star, where the nonsensical phrase is uttered by a fat grunt before he explodes). In the title, the "Bu" is made red ( ブ), a practice similar to the original material. Also, this game uses the same voice cast as the drama CD of Higurashi no Naku Koro ni.

07th Expansion, the creators of the original franchise, assisted in making the game - most notably, Ryukishi07, the writer of the original game, provided the script for Higurashi Daybreak. The game is Twilight Frontier's first attempt in making a 3D game. Higurashi Daybreak ( ひぐらしデイブレイク, Higurashi Deibureiku) is a Japanese dōjin third-person shooter developed by Twilight Frontier, first released on Augand is based on the popular visual novel Higurashi no Naku Koro ni.
