Overview
Welcome to Hinamizawa, a seemingly peaceful Japanese countryside village where the summer heat arrives early, accompanied by the incessant chirping of cicadas by day and the unsettling calls of higurashi at night. Since 1983, this idyllic setting has been plagued by a dark cycle of death and disappearances, occurring annually for the past four years. These tragic events are intrinsically linked to a past dam construction project and a subsequent murder, allegedly covered up by local authorities. Is this a sinister conspiracy, a series of unfortunate coincidences, or a genuine curse that repeats itself year after year?
