Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni (The Moment the Cicadas Cry)








I swear there was an old ?english? mystery game like this.
In the beginning you have one scenario, and it is very limited.
You get to the end, don't learn much, and you are left with lots of questions.
However this unlocks a new scenario, which uses the same characters, but focuses on something (or someone) else and uses a different timeline/eventline.
In the process, it answers some questions you had about the first scenario while being its own arc, but brings up its own questions.
This cycle repeats until you have played through all the scenarios, and now you finally feel you have all the puzzle pieces to figure out what the hell was going on in all of them.

That's how I think Higurashi is going to turn out.
Oh, that and it's completely fucked up.
This is the shit you have dreams about when you watch it @_@
