What players say
i'm going to wait until the final chapter before i make a serious review, but i just wanted to say that even after well over a decade this is still my favorite higurashi chapter. getting to experience it after all these years made fall in love with rena's character all over again. such great writing. hau ~
It turned out to be a pretty cool and interesting episode, especially with Rena's madness. They showed us really well how she gradually went crazy, and it was fun to watch and read. Definitely, this episode turned out to be solid and worth its money, just like the previous episodes!
hau!! this is probably my favourite higurashi game of all time. rena is my favourite after all, and the focus on her, means that you're in for a world of conspiracy! get ready to hear one of the greatest higurashi theories descending into madness. when the higurashi cry, rena theorises.
