Higurashi When They Cry is a sound novel. The music, backgrounds and characters work together to create a world that is the stage of a novel for the user to read. They laugh and cry and get angry. The user takes the point of view of the protagonist to experience the story.

The 58th year of Shouwa, early summer It’s June, and the summer heat has arrived earlier than it does most years. By day there are crickets, and by night there are cicadas.

We’re in Hinamizawa, a small village in the countryside. There are fewer than two thousand people here. But every year, there is an event.

This event is a mysterious death. (The series has run from 1979 to 1983)

On a certain day in June, someone dies, and someone else goes missing. The series of deaths is connected to the upheaval surrounding the dam construction project. A murder case that was covered up is being reenacted. Is it a conspiracy? A coincidence? Or perhaps a curse?

Someone who was supposed to be there isn’t. Someone who wasn’t supposed to be there is.

Someone who was alive last night is dead now. And someone who is here right now isn’t alive.

So, there is no way to avert tragedy. There is no choice but to give up. But don’t give up.

Only you can stand up to this.
