W czerwcu 1983 roku do wiejskiej miejscowo艣ci Hinamizawa na japo艅skiej prowincji zawita艂o wczesne letnie gor膮co. Mieszka tu mniej ni偶 dwa tysi膮ce dusz, a dni wype艂niaj膮 cykady, noce - 艣wierszcze higurashi. Trwa czwarty rok z rz臋du serii corocznych zgon贸w i zagini臋膰 zwi膮zanych z oporem wobec porzuconego projektu zapory. Zbrodnia z czas贸w budowy, zamieciona pod dywan, powtarza si臋 nieust臋pliwie, budz膮c pytania o spisek, przypadek czy kl膮tw臋 - zw艂aszcza gdy znajome twarze znikaj膮, a obcy nagle si臋 pojawiaj膮.
Ta przygod贸wka na PC stawia graczy twarz膮 w twarz z nieuniknion膮 tragedi膮, w kt贸rej 偶ywi staj膮 si臋 trupami z dnia na dzie艅, a tera藕niejszo艣膰 skrywa bezdychu. Nie ma dr贸g, by przerwa膰 ten cykl - zostaje tylko si艂a, by brn膮膰 naprz贸d mimo rozpaczy. Gra przyci膮gnie fan贸w narracyjnych zagadek mystery, kt贸re badaj膮 granice ludzkiej natury bez mo偶liwo艣ci ucieczki.
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.
