...is what a whole entire manga series/script visual novel game is about, kinda....
EDIT: I didn't even note what exactly the game is about...it's about a teenager named Maebara Keiichi who moves to a remote town because of his father's job. He makes friends out of some of the girls in school and joins a "Games Club" and participates in games that end in Punishment Games for the loser. While the beginning is comical, it actually very ingeniously sets up a light-hearted tone that cracks when the more suspicious and mysterious horror elements set in. Note: it seems that in fiction, humans have
more than ten pints of blood.
Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni (When the Cicadas Cry) is a
very popular game (visual novel) in Japan, and it has spread to the Western Hemisphere. I have learned about it from a friend and now I subscribe to it as one of the fans...I believe that the first FULL translation will be coming out soon at this
site. Actually, it's another blog here on blogspot and to get the game you can follow the legal instructions that are on the site...of course, if you are aware of the deeper recesses of the internet then you are aware of
torrent, right?
Event!
You are faced with a tough moral decision with ambiguous values behind your choices...
Will you...
A) Buy the game legally?
B) Expose your computer to viruses to get it for free?
C) Become a West Virginian Demon Sorceress
