On the same note, the game in the following link

Is just the first question arc, right?

X_X

Kai (解, solve/answer) is the general name used to refer to the answer chapters of the game.

The "question" chapters (Higurashi no Naku Koroni) are:
- Onikakushi-hen
- Watanagashi-hen
- Tatarigoroshi-hen
- Himatsubushi-hen

The "answer" chapters (Higurashi no Naku Koroni Kai) are:
- Meakashi-hen
- Tsumihoroboshi-hen
- Minagoroshi-hen
- Matsuribayashi-hen

Refer to kj's post here for the game's past releases and packagings:

Remember, the latest disk for each arc will always contain the latest chapter PLUS all previous chapters in the arc. The paletweb link you gave was for the Himatsubushi-hen disk, which contains all 4 question arc chapters.

The current latest "answer" chapter is Minagoroshi-hen (released on 12/30/05), which contains itself + Meakashi and Tsumihoroboshi-hen. The next and final chapter will be released at Comiket70 on August 13th. It will contain Matsuribayashi-hen, the concluding chapter of the game, as well as all the previous answer chapters.

I hope that's clear enough.
