Keiichi Maebara has just moved to the quiet little village of Hinamizawa
in the summer of 1983 and quickly becomes inseparable friends with
schoolmates Rena Ryuuguu, Mion Sonozaki, Satoko Houjou, and Rika Furude.
However, darkness lurks underneath the seemingly idyllic life they
lead.
As the village prepares for its annual festival, Keiichi learns about
the local legends surrounding it. To his horror, he discovers that there
have been several murders and disappearances in
the village in the recent years and that they all seem to be connected
to the festival and the village's patron god, Oyashiro. Keiichi tries to
ask his new friends about these incidents, but they are suspiciously
silent and refuse to give him the answers he needs. As more and more
bizarre events occur, he wonders just what else his friends might be
keeping from him, and if he can even trust them at all.
When madness and paranoia begin taking root in Keiichi's heart, he will
stumble straight into the mysteries at work in Higurashi no Naku Koro
ni, a story that is told across multiple arcs.
