Junho de 1983 traz o calor inicial do verão a Hinamizawa, uma pacata vila rural japonesa com menos de duas mil almas. Cigarras zumbem durante o dia, higurashi choram à noite, enquanto mortes e desaparecimentos anuais assombram a comunidade. Esses eventos remontam à resistência local contra um projeto de barragem cancelado, no qual um assassinato encoberto da época da construção se repete sem piedade.
Este adventure explora a fronteira entre conspiração, acaso e maldição em meio a presenças instáveis - os ausentes que deviam estar presentes, intrusos onde não cabem, vivos que viram mortos da noite para o dia. Não há como deter a tragédia que se acumula, mas a persistência resiste. Fãs de adventures narrativos atraídos por destinos inescapáveis encontrarão aqui seu apelo essencial.
June, 1983.
The summer heat has arrived earlier than it does most years.
By day there are cicadas, and by night, the higurashi.
Hinamizawa, a small village in the Japanese countryside.
While there are fewer than two thousand people there, every year, 'something' happens.
For the past 4 years, someone has died, and someone else has gone missing.
This series of deaths and disappearances is connected to the local resistance against a now-abandoned dam construction project.
A murder during the construction, covered up by the local authorities, is being re-enacted year after year.
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 now dead, and someone who is here right now isn't alive.
There is no way to avert this tragedy. There is no choice but to give up trying.
But even so... please don't give up.
