A stone cold classic. I famously always pitter out on reading Higu before getting to the answer episodes, but I can't really complains because it's such a blast to read Onikakushi again and again. A perfect capsule of novel games at a certain moment in history that, at the same time, has a timeless appeal in all its anachronisms. Love your friends, die laughing as you pummel them with a bat.
I'm the rare breed of evil sick bastard that wholeheartedly believes Higurashi in its entirety would be better if it only consisted of Slice of Life and had NONE of this horror bullshit. Someday the masses will not only understand this sentiment but rally behind it as well.
Also unironically the original R07 artstyle is one of my favorite artstyles ever, I really like it.
