In the title, the "Bu" is made red (ブ), a practice similar to the original material. 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 April 2008, Alchemist announced that they will be porting Higurashi Daybreak to the PlayStation Portable. The port is scheduled to be released November 27, 2008.
