Higurashi: When They Cry - NEW

Keiichi spends his day accompanying his friends. He, Mion and Rena are on a tour to the village. Afterwards, he retrieves the statue of a fast food restaurant mascot because Rena finds it 'cute'.

Keiichi goes with Rena to retrieve the Colonel so she can take him home with her. Later, Keiichi and his friends have fun at the festival and watch Rika performing the ritual.

Hinamizawa's darkest secrets begin to unfold as Keiichi talks with the local detective.

Keiichi grows more suspicious of Rena. The next day at school, Rika encourages Keiichi to be brave. Keiichi feels guilty and tries to return to normal life. That same evening, his parents leave town for the night, leaving him alone, and Rena wants to come over to cook dinner for him.

Keiichi and his friends attend a game competition at a Sonozaki family owned shop. As a consolation prize for the event money, the store owner gives dolls to everyone except Mion. Keiichi gives his to Mion as he sees no value in keeping it. Later, Keiichi and his father meet at the cosplay restaurant. There, Keiichi meets Shion and confuses her for Mion, due to similar appearances. She proclaims that she is actually Mion's twin sister. Keiichi believes she is Mion pretending to be effeminate.

Keiichi learns about the yearly murders from Shion, Miyo, and Jiro. At the festival, Shion drags Keiichi away from Rika's dance and the two run into Miyo and Jiro, who are breaking into the ritual tool shed. They decide to go inside to look at it with Miyo.
