Story Info
June, 1983.
The heat of summer has arrived early this year.
By day, there are locusts, and by night, Higurashi.
Hinamizawa, a small village in rural Japan.
Although there are fewer than two thousand people there, every year, 'something' happens.
For the past four years, someone has died, and someone else has disappeared.
This string of deaths and disappearances is linked to local resistance against a now-abandoned dam construction project.
A murder during construction, covered up by the local authorities, is reenacted every year.
Is this 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 now dead, and someone who is now there isn't alive.
There is no way to avoid this tragedy. No choice but to give up trying.
But even then...
please don't give up.
