About

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.

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.

Higurashi When They Cry Hou - Ch.2 Watanagashi reviews and comments

This game series continues to blow me away with just how amazing the story-telling is. When I started this series, I was very apprehensive and unsure how I felt about Visual Novels. I can honestly say, I am completely hooked. This chapter is far creepier and more disturbing than the last. The story is a complete rollercoaster as well. Just when you think you know how it's going to wrap up another massive plot twist happens. I completely recommend this for anyone and everyone.

[I pretended very lazily that you read the first Chapter] [I'm not going to spoil anything here as much as possible]-This is the second Chapter of a horror visual novel series, which consists of 8 (main) chapters in total-Selbe Treatment as well as the first Chapter, so:---new character sprites (old ones available)---old Wallpapers (look really lame)---no Voiceover (perhaps better so, because Of atmosphere)---text in English (alternatively Japanese)---original sounds and Music (in some Cases you can hear the Age of the sound files)---mod support (i.e. the above points You can change you through Mods)-I don't really want to lose Words about the Story. If you liked the first Chapter, then you will also like the second one. -It tells, also a self-contained Story, but contributes to the Overall Action-This is the second of 4 so-called Question Arcs, i.e. there are hints given here, but in itself more questions are raised than answered. -There are no "Decisions" for you to make (You have to watch:P all helplessly)-The Chapter is longer than the first. -This Chapter was adapted in episodes 5-8 of the Anime "Higurashi no Naku Koro ni" (highly recommended, but you should read the Visual Novel) Have Fun reading;) (Why is my Neck itching like this?)

Higurashi When They Cry Hou-Ch.2 Watanagashi is a Sound novel in which Sound, Backdrop and characters together create the Atmosphere of the Game, and the Successor of Higurashi When They Cry Hou-Ch.1 Onikakushi. The Events of the second Chapter play in a different Timeline than the first Part, with a new Scenario, which, as in the Predecessor, one experiences from the Point of View of Keiichi Maebara. As in the other Timeline, murders in the village of Hinamizawa have always happened for several Years on the Same Day, The Watanagashi festival, Keiichi becomes entangled in the Matter and the deeper He dives, the denser the eerie atmosphere of History becomes. As in the first Part, the Story seems to revolve around a normal, peaceful Life of Children and Adolescents in a Village in the Countryside at the beginning, but in the End the atmosphere the further you read, the Atmosphere becomes so dense that you could cut it, but since Higurashi is one of the Fear and Paranoia of the Situation is masterfully felt, it is unlikely that one dares to unpack the Scissors. At The End of the day, as in the first Part, new Questions are raised with the End, leaving you with even more Confusion and Paranoia. Those who like Psychohorror And have no Problem reading through long Texts will definitely like Higurashi When They Cry Hou-Ch.2 Watanagashi (all The rest can either read the Manga or watch the Anime). Higurashi When They Cry Hou-Ch.2 Watanagashi gets from me 9 out of 10 Points and the following Predicates: Fear, just Fear HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Definitively kobold-/goblingerecht
