Higurashi: When They Cry
It's not paranoia... if they really are trying to kill you!
On Kansai TV, Tokai Television Broadcasting
A psychological horror mystery where a tight-knit group of friends becomes a source of dread, built on cyclical trauma, paranoia, and the collapse of trust in an isolated village.
After moving into the quiet town of Hinamizawa, Maebara Keiichi spends his days blissfully in school often playing games with his local friends. However, appearances can be deceiving. One fateful day, Keiichi stumbles upon news of a murder that had occurred in Hinamizawa. From this point on, horrific events unfold in front of Keiichi, as he soon learns his close friends may not be all that they seem.
