Most elements bar the story and plot are common with the other Higurashi iterations. The focus is on the story itself, which is very well written, and artwork is secondary to the novel. Great music and sound effects that fits in with the story at hand. No CGs, no voice acting, rough backgrounds, and the sprites of the characters themselves appear less often then just big plain wall of texts, often with not even background at all. As for the story itself, this is where the novel excels at. Great story telling, deep character and story development that gets progressively darker and thrilling as it progresses. Like the first half of the series, some story content requires reading the sequels in order to be understood. Overall, a great novel, if for the story alone. Rating: 7/10.

I honestly can't recommend this highly enough. I've already read it on youtube but I want to buy it all to support the writer because it's just that good. Seriously. Check out the first chapter for free. If you're at all interested after that, you're in for a hell of a ride! I introduced it to my friend who doesn't even like visual novels and now he loves it, too. I'd recommend it even if you've seen one or both of the animes since there is waaaay more story in this than in either adaptation.

Amazing game but the beginning was so bad that I almost quit. I only recommend this if you skip Chapters 1-2. A few Spoilers ahoy: Chapter 1-2 are hellishly bad, Chapter 3-5 are just ok, and all Chapters afterwards are finally interesting and worth reading. My rant: Chapter 1-2 reads like they were written by a cliché otaku, who lives inside his parents’ basement which he hasn’t left in years, who also has a concerning fondness for children and young Teenagers, which is ironic, because that is the exact Person that is being made fun of in one of the Chapters. Chapter 3 is still a mess but more bearable. First things first, the negative aka. The Chapters 1-2 of the Game Chapter 2. I have no idea why the hell every male in these two Chapters seems to be written like a pervert or child-molester. If you took a shot every time someone sexually harassed or thought about a minor in a sexual way, you would end up in the hospital. The way minors, like Shion, are presented is also very disgusting given that she is 14. An entire chapter is about how she is being lusted after by YOUNG AND GROWN MEN ALIKE, Like Keiichi’s Father for example, who dragged Keiichi to a cafe to *stare at the women, in which at least one is underage who wears revealing and fetishizing clothes. God, I know this game is over 20 years old, but I had hoped that even a game from that time wouldn't have so carelessly thrown sexual assault and paedophilia around like it's nothing. How do you look at a 14-year-old and get the hots? Hell, one was even younger! In Keiichi’s case, and the case of his 2 perverted male classmates who lust after Satoko and Rika so much that they want to taste their saliva, you can excuse it partially by saying that they are Teenagers, but for fucks sake, even a Teenager shouldn't like the idea of a child, in this case Rika, being forced into prostitution, which is something that was talked about in one of the TIPS. Why the hell did he get nosebleeds from imagining that?! This made me dislike Keiichi extremely, which is a shame because he seemed completely normal in Chapter 1. The term “Snowflake” is being thrown around a lot nowadays but, while I understand that some people can indeed be too sensitive, it shouldn’t be considered a “Snowflake behaviour” to criticize the sexualization of minors. If they were adults? Still disgusting but a lot less concerning. The only way I can imagine why this happened is that they wanted to appeal to the male audience of the time by including lots of sexually charged moments in order to catch them and make them continue reading. There is an entire TIPS which shows the story of a guy that lewdly photographs women without their knowledge nor consent. Great. This is a horror game and yet the most frightening part for me is the rapey dialogue. Do yourself a favour and skip most of the first and second chapters. 90% of it is Keiichi, his classmates or sometimes his father, being extremely creepy. Guess the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Also, the beginning is, once again, very slow, which I had expected. Now to the positives: Thankfully, once you enter Chapter 3, the extreme perversion finally comes to an end and we can explore more of Higurashis story. (Never mind, there was a scene where Shion was almost forced to rub a man’s crotch because she spilled some food on it. After a while, Keiichi helped her after stating that it’s “Her fault” and that “she wasn’t in any danger” and that he only helped her because he was in her debt. What a nice guy. TM. Once again, SHION IS 14. This is also the game where Keiichi says “Heil, Mein Führer.” lol) Outside of Keiichi having been mysteriously transformed into a Henati Protagonist, every other character stays true to their quirks and personalities from Chapter 1. I was quite pleased about at least that remaining consistent. Finally, at Chapter 5, things start getting interesting. The dialogue, at this point, is back to its phenomenal state. The story is fascinating and intriguing, the use of unsettling music and pauses perfect and, most importantly, it made me crave more. Just like Chapter 1, there were moments where I shivered in fear, looking around my room in a panic. They expand on the story, and I deeply enjoyed the moments where I got to wonder, along with Keiichi, what the hell is going on. The ending was scary and satisfying with lots of twists that didn't feel over the top for me. All in all: The people responsible for writing these Chapters clearly have talent but they tend to waste it in the beginning with over-the-top sexual jokes and innuendos. I hope that has changed with time. I have no idea how there can be such a huge difference in quality but, sadly, there is. The farther you get in this game, the better it gets. It’s just a shame that, in order to find the gold, you must dig through dung first. If it weren’t for how much I disliked the beginning, I would claim this game to be better than the first. Shame.

I now understand the entire history of Curry and why it is the greatest food to ever exist. At least I don't have to deal with a needle in my food, or anything used for piercing, right? Right...?
