March 2025
I thought this was going to be the worst chapter in the question arcs but it turned out to be one of the best. I really liked the shift from the usual "half of the game is slice of life, the other half is a thriller" format that the first 3 chapters have, this one really focus on the invesgation with small portions of "cute" and "wholesome" content (not to say that i dont enjoy the SOL aspects of higurashi, I think it's really well done). For the plot, this one gives a lot of information about Rika and how she might know more than she shows us, I also liked Oiishi in this chapter, for the first time I didn't feel any hatred towards the guy, which is cool, Ryukishi is finally developing his character, as for Akasaka, I think he's a good protagonist but definitely not as enterntaining as Keiichi but hey some changes in pacing and cast are nice fom time to time.

Great story I didn't like the previous chapter that much due to its slow pacing but this one is definitely better and I enjoyed it a good amount.

something kinda sad about this capping off the main leg of all the hard mysteries of higurashi, but despite being a side story it's as enjoyable as the rest

Install the 07th Mod, there's a couple of console only arcs you can play on this one, one of them (Miotsukushi PS2) is an alternate ending to the series, arguably even better than Matsuribayashi.

This chapter is SO ****ING good bro I cannot describe. It takes place before the other chapters, and involves a new main character, Akasaka. AND LEMME TELL YOU, he has been my favorite character in the series so far. This chapter is much shorter compared to the previous chapters but I think is probably important overall to the story. Rika is also at the forefront so if you enjoy her, you'll enjoy this chapter. Akasaka is a "tame" character, but I find that his background, sense of morals, and just understanding of everything made me really enjoy this chapter. This marks the end of the "questions arc" and it is my favorite chapter I have experienced thus far! BUY NOW YES YES
