As an April Fool’s prank, the gacha game Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Mei from the horror franchise Higurashi: When They Cry contended they were going to put cute Sanrio characters in their world, along with a theme park.
はぅ～！たいへんたいへん！

And while it was a joke, fans actually really, really wanted this. And so from now till May 3, gamers in Japan can play the game with Hello Kitty, Pom Pom Purin, Kirimi, and Cinnamoroll. (We’re assured that this part is sweet and the Sanrio characters will not be bloodily murdered.) If you live outside of Japan, you would need proxy applications and VPNs to get access to play.
