Higurashi When They Cry Hou - Ch.1 Onikakushi
Description
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.

The start of a new journey
Higurashi is one of the most wonderful visual novels ever, and that is a fact. I have read over 70 visual novels and I have of course completed the entire Higurashi series and honestly, Higurashi easily ranks among my top 10. What makes Higurashi special is well, everything ! I really don't want to give any details on the story or to describe the type of story it is or the approch it takes, but it is a very well constructed story that will keep you on the edge of your seat for it's full duration. Do keep in mind that this is a kinetic visual novel, meaning that there are no choices to make here, personally this does not make a difference for me and I would not let that stop you from trying it, because once you do you will be hooked and you will be the other 7 chapters, and then after that you will buy the entire Umineko series because once you get a taste of When They Cry, you will won't be able to stop.
