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/day in the week to Sep 2 → 0.57/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 2,400 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.

Masterpiece in which the heart of Higurashi is finally revealed. The descent from paranoia to madness, and the way that it plays on your understanding of the mystery, are phenomenal. Keiichi and Rena are incredibly well written, and Rika is great too! The ending is one of the most cathartic I've ever experienced in a piece of art.
Начиная с этой главы сюжет меняет свой изначальный вайб детективного хоррора на детский мультфильм о силе дружбе и магии сюжета, то есть на 180 градусов. Конечно в этой истории не могло быть все настолько гениально реалистично, нотка магии или небольшой выдумки должна была присутствовать. И все таки вы думали что вас погружают в серьезную историю, игру, в которой ты сам должен распутать клубок загадок сюжета или просто удивляться его закрученности. Но это все обрывается, буквально все.. Я не буду углубляться в детали и хотел бы вас предостеречь от этой главы, а тем более последующих. Может до середины будет и неплохо почитать, но не более... . Вроде есть какое то ответвление как дополнительные главы которые исправляют немного эту историю, но после увиденного мной, я полностью разочаровался в авторе и в этом сюжете.. .

很喜欢互相信任的大家!本作也是感受到了圭一的人格魅力的说~。 那剪贴簿真给我唬住了,读到最后虽然还有很多奇怪的地方,但没那么玄乎了。

[h3] 不要一个人烦恼,试着和谁交谈吧 [/h3] 非常温柔的理念教诲,从文字中能感觉到作者是个温柔成熟的人。看到后半段突然就理解为什么看海猫解说时那位up主说07的作品[b]充满人文关怀 [/b],阅读过程中我自己也被几度治愈了,实际亲身体验到文字的力量和看解说带来的震撼完全不一样🤯 虽说真理大道理谁都能念叨几句,可落实到生活、具体身边的案例中,反倒是超绝钝感力意识不到了...就是这样人才会不断重复过去的错误吧。07真是[b]对亲密关系与人际交往有着朴实而真挚的见解 [/b],怎么不算一种互联网精神导师呢😭👍👍👍 p.s.连续几作的东亚创伤真的好歹毒啊啊啊啊,老师你在剧本里加了什么(力竭.......
Раньше не очень любила эту арку, но прочитав её сейчас, в более осознанном возрасте, я полюбила эту главу. Много чего хорошего в ней было и если я когда-нибудь захочу снова прочесть эту арку, я с удовольствием прочту её!
虽然说圭一发觉一周目的事情其实是误会多多少少有点难绷,说实话我并不觉得放学后一边狂笑一边拿着武器质问你要去哪,还™往饭团藏针有什么好误会的,只能说龙骑士为了开局铺垫不得不做出点不合理的牺牲。但是由此引出的主题的的确确相当可以,情节恰到好处,在最高潮最迷惑处突转,当一个事实彻彻底底烙印在我们心里时,他就会拿出另一个疑点叫我们不断深入思考,掀翻它,然后开启下一段旅行。可以的,宏大的故事与完美的节奏,希望后续能依旧保持该水准
Keiichi saves lives
So many people tout this as one of the better chapters in Higurashi & I absolutely can see it! Ch. 6 sets a precedent in answering questions from Ch. 1's events, while also being the "Rena chapter" that we've all been clamouring for. Especially since it's always felt like she's been the poster girl for the Higurashi series, it legitimately feels validating to finally get an insight into Rena's struggles, personal history & internal personality. That, alongside the utilisation of dual narrative perspectives, through constantly switching between Rena & Keichi's PoVs, really helps this chapter stand out in exemplifying their character arcs while tying the two's stories into an incredibly tight & satisfying final act that had me on the edge of my seat. There's quite a lot more to say regarding this chapter that would undoubtedly unravel into spoiler territory. This chapter made me lighten my opinion of Keichi's character as a central protagonist. It's also got arguably the most satisfying ending to boot from the Higurashi chapters thus far, but thankfully, the Tips segments definitely allow you to realise there's more than meets the eye upon its completion! If I ever had to exemplify a singular chapter to represent why I adore Higurashi so much, then I'd probably have to hand it to Ch. 6. It's everything that feels like what the Questions Arc was building towards & more. It's another example of why I love these characters so much, & I couldn't wait to delve into the next chapter after I finishing Ch. 6.
