Higurashi When They Cry is a Japanese murder mystery visual novel. The series is focused on a group of young friends and the strange events that occur in the rural village of Hinamizawa, where they reside. The gameplay requires relatively little player interaction as most of the game is composed of text dialogues. The original release contained no voice acting for the characters. The game utilizes intermissions where the player can obtain several Tips. These Tips allow the player to read various supplementary information that may or may not be useful in solving the mystery.

started off a bit slow, the story drags on too much but nevertheless, I'm still excited to see where it takes me!

getting used to the cute girls doing cute things schtick, so its ending up a bit endearing at times. still is a bit annoying, but what can you do?

this is very sweet thus far; i watched 2 eps of the anime a few years back, so i already know whats gonna happen with the whole festival and curse and such. still, doesnt spoil the fun im having thus far!

playing yet another game instead of the ones i already have. SIGH! well, tbf, ive just been in a vn mood

im still in the very beginning and im having fun thus far; the characters are all very distinct and have good personalities! however i really, really dislike the cute girls doing cute things trope, and unfortunately it has lots of that thus far. despite that, though, im very excited to see where this one goes!

Finished! What a great start to the series, setting up a very creepy stage. Coulda done without the monologues with the anime levels of emotional angst/waffling though; there were definitely moments where it went on too long and dragged down the story's pace a bit.

Excited and scared for part 2~
