Higurashi When They Cry: Onikakushi

Story

The 58th Year of Shouwa, Early Summer It is June, and the summer heat is here earlier than most years. There are crickets during the day and cicadas at night. We are in Hinamizawa, a small village in the countryside. There are less than two thousand people here. But every year there is an event. This event is a mysterious death. (The series ran from 1979 to 1983). On a certain day in June, someone dies and another goes missing. The series of deaths is related to the unrest surrounding the dam construction project. A murder case that was covered up is reopened. Is it a conspiracy? A coincidence? Or perhaps a curse? Someone who was supposed to be there isn't. Someone who shouldn't be there is there. Someone who was alive last night is now dead. And someone who is here now is not alive. So there is no way to avert the tragedy. There is no choice but to give up. But don't give up. Only you can resist.
