The worst chapter of Higurashi: the one that brings this beautiful story to an end and reminds me I can never experience it for the first time again

its a well made ending but i didnt really like the pacing its certainly more boring to read than all of the previous chapters since there isnt really a mystery or horror theme just backstories and tokyo stuff

I never posted a review on this game despite having played it long ago already, instead I farmed the hours on it to ascend more and more. Ryukishi07 is an absolute genius I love Higurashi, and you need to play it too for your life to become better. If you watch the anime before playing this game then you should sacrifice yourself, so make sure to play the game first. meep meep nipaaah nipaaah meep nipaahh meep...

This series got me back into reading. I used to really like reading books but over time it was hard for them to immerse me. I always found it hard to be able to tell who was saying what. I found out way too late that it's much easier for me to figure that out if there are anime girls on the screen to illustrate who is talking! This story switches genres left and right but at the end of the day it's all pretty good!...
