Higurashi When They Cry Hou – Ch.1 Onikakushi may just be the best start to a story that any episodic game could wish for. In just around ten hours, that excellent visual novel manages to hook players with a storyline that starts out as just another harmless “slice of life” tale before everything spirals out of control. For those who had never experienced the storyline before, either via the anime, manga or previous game iterations, it is a tremendously exciting mystery to watch unravel. For those who had played the chapter before in English, it also provided a much-needed improvement to the original translation. But where does that leave us with Higurashi When They Cry Hou – Ch.2 Watanagashi? 4/5
