Prices
The United States storefront in every case, so this compares stores and not countries.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 1.43/day in the week to Sep 1 → 0.86/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,402 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

暇溃篇流程很短,是出题篇内以梨花为主要叙述对象的篇目,引入了角色赤坂明,并且对整个寒蝉的故事叙述是基于什么简单透露了一下(考虑到不剧透),也是正篇中第一个有选项的篇目。写评价的时候隔了一段时间,其他的想法记不太得了。 梨花可爱捏,咪啪~
比较短的前日谈,算是Higurashi正式揭露其世界观的开始
this was a good game overall

it's a much different entry in the story compared to the rest of the question arcs as it leans more into mystery than horror, but i still loved it. Akasaka was a MUCH more likeable character for me than Keiichi (dont get me wrong, i love Keiichi, but its nice not hearing his insufferable screaming all the time). the only thing i found strange in this one were the choices, which in total are just two, and add literally nothing to the story whatsoever. the first one is found in one of the tips, and the second one, which actually happens during the story, either leads to an immediate bad ending or continues with the story. this was honestly such an unnecessary addition to the game and i can see why 07th mod lets you disable them. its really not that big of a deal but i still wanted to point that out. nipah :3
咪啪~
祟杀篇的小外传吧应该,突然想到绵流篇的一些名字上的双关,绵流,园崎古手公由,又说大石是御社神的使者,名字叫藏人,不会跟鬼隐有关吧

I originally wanted to read umineko, but later found out that its structure is very similar to higurashi, and that it's better to start with the latter. Honestly, I had no idea I would get this hooked. I loved the way the story is told and how exquisitely it's divided into arcs, showing the narrative from different perspectives. Each part did a fantastic job of expanding on already familiar characters. The pacing is also brilliantly handled: right around the time a chapter starts to feel a bit slow, the plot instantly kicks in. Also another great touch is the all-cast review session after each chapter, it really helps to clear your head and lets you hear the characters (or rather, their voice actors? idk) thoughts on what just happened. Speaking of the voice acting, it deserves a special mention. The cast did an incredible job bringing out the characters personalities. I was also really glad that Ooishi got so much more screen time and dialogue in this arc cuz I've always been a big fan of him. And the soundtrack is phenomenal, it completely nailed the atmosphere in every single scene. Truly peak, I would recommend higurashi to everyone who reading this review. Trust me, you won't regret
讲的是几年前一个警察和梨花的故事,介绍一下世界观,很短的一个篇章. 补充了下世界观, 不过该有的伏笔和反转还是有的,但剧情这块反转比不上前作,只能说开胃小菜. 最后男主的结局和前面互相呼应,也是有始有终了. PS 这作的大石真的帅呀!
