[edit] Plot
As the player made through the first three chapters, they will have all the pieces of the puzzle at hand. Now it is time to put them together. Himatsubushi-hen is a prequel to the first three chapters. In contrast to the first three chapters, this chapter is shown through the eyes of Mamoru Akasaka. He is a young elite police investigator from Tokyo who came to investigate a kidnapping of a politician's child. Little does he know that he has stepped foot into a village that holds dark secrets.
This chapter focuses mainly on Rika Furude as being the "key part" of the mystery.
[edit] Manga
The Himatsubushi-hen manga illustrated by Yoshiki Tonogai was first serialized in the Japanese manga magazine Monthly Shōnen Gangan. Later, the individual chapters were collected into two tankōbon published by Square Enix.
