So anyone know where to find the Light Novels?
As I said above. does anyone know where to find the Light Novels? I've spent all day looking for them online and I can't seem to locate them anywhere. I can find the manga though. Getting them for sure!

Unfortunately, none of the 'book' novels are currently available in English. The novelisations of the original VN chapters are not too hard to come by. I was able to find them relatively easily in bookshops in Akihabara. The light novels featuring new stories are more difficult to find; my understanding is that they were never in widespread circulation.

I often hear people say that you can find the manga on the google play store, but when I looked there, I could only find 5 volumes (2/3 from Massacre, Dice killing, 1/2 from Beyond midnight and 1/4 from Eye opening.) The selection is so bad I felt more depressed for having finally looked. Does the available stock differ in other countries?

I searched the following queries until I found those entries:
When They Cry found nothing
Ryukishi07 found nothing
Higurashi found those 5

Kind of odd, because Ryukishi07 is the listed author, which you can normally search for books by, and the manga series is only called "When they cry" in english.
My country is New Zealand, if living in a different country does have an effect on what the store can offer you,

May this link be of help?
https://play.google.com/store/books/author?id=Ryukishi07
In Russian Google Play, HIGURASHI READS U there are: 2 volumes of Onikakushi, 2 volumes of Watanagashi, 2 volumes of Tatrigoroshi, 2 volumes of Hinamitsubushi, 4 volumes of Meakashi, 4 volumes of Tsumihoroboshi, 3 volumes of Minagoroshi, 2 volumes of Matsuribayashi, 1 volume of Saikoroshi and 2 volumes of "Beyond Midnight Arc" (don't know the original name). Probably all of them, though I'm not sure. Plus some Umineko.

So they're missing two volumes of Matsuribayashi-hen and have everything else? Huh.

Keep in mind the light novels are adaptations of the sound novel; this here on Steam is the true source material. They have not and probably will not be released in English. The only series from that product line to be released is the upcoming Bakemonogatari series.

Most of the manga (everything but Saikoroshi-hen/Dice Killing Arc?) can be found digitally on the Kindle shop.

They are also missing my personal favourite: Onisareshi-hen, Demon exposing arc.

Also, the link you sent me to has all four of Masturibayashi, but a double up of the second and third Minagoroshi, for some reason...

And for some reason, the "Buy" button only appears for the same 5 books that I found in my own search. Is this the same for you?

There are doubles for me as well. Not sure which ones though. Yup, all of the Matsuribayashi volumes are there, probably missed them or made a typo.
And yeas - I didn't notice, but "Buy" button isn't there for most of them. I wonder what could that mean.

Probably. Wonder why didn't they delete them in that case.
Le sigh. THanks guys.

Sorry about the delayed response. Worked the last 3 days.
