Keiichi learns that every year for the past four years, one person has been murdered and another has gone missing on the day of the Watanagashi Festival. However, the tranquility abruptly ends after the annual Watanagashi Festival, a celebration to commemorate and give thanks to the local god, Oyashiro-sama. Keiichi joins their after-school club activities, which consist mostly of card and board games (and punishment games for the loser, usually him.) Hinamizawa appears to be a normal, peaceful, rural village to Keiichi. The main character, Keiichi Maebara, moves to Hinamizawa and befriends his new classmates Rena Ryugu, Mion Sonozaki, Rika Furude, and Satoko Hojo.


Higurashi no Naku Koro ni takes place during June 1983, at a fictional rural village called Hinamizawa, which has a population of approximately 2000.

My one drawback, which is not so much about the game and more about the servant translator itself, is that the game often has too much text for the translator to handle and will cause it to crash. The story itself is a little far-fetched for this particular franchise, but we are, after all, dealing with meta-world layers, time looping, gods, demons, and witches, so, I can let a few weird dog monsters slide. Don't get me wrong, Suzuragi is a fantastic artist, but Akio Watanabe has still captured the essence of our beloved games club members and with the additional fact that he is a former animator for SHAFT makes me love it that much more.

Had the game been done in Karin Suzuragi's style (the og higurashi mangaka) then it probably wouldn't have been as well received. Despite the somewhat rough animations in battle, I'm overall elated to be playing this game (with an easy to use translator, yes I shilled out $11 for 200IQ just to use the qooapp servant bite me) I've been a fan of the WTC series for quite some time now, having been introduced to it in 2010, and I disagree with most who say the artstyle clashes with the "aesthetic".
