If you fighting her early, you need levels and item that protects versus instadeath. early fight is there for a challenge.
if facing her after pool yokai, there different dialog to get easier version or even method not to fight her.
have now beaten each chapter at least once. I haven't looked into all the extra stuff yet though. But I wanna say this was a very fun game. Took around 13 hours I wanna say to get this far. I will certainly recommend it should I ever get the chance, sadly my friends havent even read higurashi so I cant do that.
But yea I really liked this. Very well made game.
Played trough disaster awakening and before midnight, would like to report two small things. In before midnight hanyuu starts with the two healing moves but then also learns them by level up so you then have them twice in your skill list. And secondly after disaster awakening the game plays the credits no matter if there's still chapters left. Unless that is intended then nevermind.
