Welcome to Hinamizawa...
This map is based on the town of Hinamizawa from the japanese visual horror novel, Higurashi when they cry (Higurashi no naku koro ni). Hinamizawa is itself based on another town called Shirakawa-go, which is a real town/village in Japan, known for its traditional thatched houses.

Features:
-Hinamizawa town center,
-Furude shrine,
-Ryuugu residence,
-Maebara residence,
-Rika/Satoko house,
-Hojo residence,
-Bridge,
-Dam construction site,
-Sonozaki estate,
-Night time map.

Notes from the creator:
-This map took a long time to make and may not be a completely accurate replica of Hinamizawa. Google maps was used to map Shirakawa-go as precisely as possible. I had to improvise many times in order to ensure as much explorable area as possible. Many of the explorable interiors may not be accurate so I had to improvise there too (Ryuugu residence, Maebara residence).
-At the moment, the Ryuugu residence (Rena's house) is fully completed including the house that Rika and Satoko share. The Hojo residence is unexplorable as well as most of the town and the Sonozaki estate. The Maebara residence is only half-done.
-To get to the Maebara residence, go to the far end of the road in Hinamizawa away from the Furude shrine, to get to the dam construction site go to the far end of the road next to the Furude shrine and to get to the Sonozaki estate, go to the far end of the road away from Rena's house.
-All the content (textures, models...) have been packed into the map, HOWEVER, IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCING ERRORS OR MISSING TEXTURES, HERE ARE THE GAMES WHOSE ASSETS WERE USED IN THE MAP: Half-life 2 (all episode), CSS, Left 4 Dead 2.
-If the shiny props bother you in the night time map, type mat_spectral 0 into the console.

Map's future:
-Add more details to certain houses and make them explorable,
-Make the Hojo residence, Maebara residence and the Sonozaki estate fully explorable,
-Fix bad performance on the edges of the map,
-Create easier navigation to the places where you are teleported to other locations such as the Sonozaki estate, Maebara residence, dam construction site.
(If the changes to the town itself are big enough, I will make gm_hinamizawa_v2)
