Original title: Higurashi no Naku Koro ni
After moving into the quiet town of Hinamizawa, Maebara Keiichi spends his days blissfully in school often playing games with his local friends. However, appearances can be deceiving. One fateful day, Keiichi stumbles upon news of a murder that had o…ccurred in Hinamizawa. From this point on, horrific events unfold in front of Keiichi, as he soon learns his close friends may not be all that they seem. Based on the amateur mystery game by 07th Expansion, the story is told in a series of different scenarios.
Platform catalogue reviewed on . Availability varies by country and date.
I'd recommend it for its mystery, its terror and the constant desire to understand why the same summer ends again and again in a horrible way.
It's aimed at an adult audience that tolerates graphic violence, paranoia and a fragmented narrative.
What separates it from other horror loops is that each arc reboots Hinamizawa from another perspective; whoever seemed like a murderer can become a victim when you know the missing piece.
