As a foreword I have to say that I've seen all anime arcs and OVAs relating to the Higurashi series several years ago, and therefore know how the story and each chapter progresses.

I have to say that I didn't enjoy Watanagashi as much as Onikakushi, which may partially be due to my personal preferences towards the type of horror presented by the first vn. Regardless, it's still an interesting, attention-grabbing and suspenseful story that's highly recommended to anyone who read the first chapter, has seen the anime or is a general horror fan (starting with Onikakushi is pretty much essential due to the way the story is structured)

The story kept my attention throughout and has been practically marathoned as I wasn't able to stop until it was over.
However, it did have a few flaws that impacted its enjoyment.
I found a number of character actions, mainly of the narrating protagonist, to be unrealistic and highly irrational. I understand that emotion and impulse heavily affected his choices and motives, but some of the decisions he makes near the vn's end as well as ways in which he reacts to what's going on seemed highly unbelievable and far from what any human being would do, no matter the situation or their feelings towards others involved. Who in their right mind would show so much sympathy towards a recently revealed mass murderer and follow her into the secluded crime scene alone? Or go outside at night to meet her after she tried to torture them to death? If I was Keiichi, I would feel nothing but disgust and resentment towards Mion. The vague "demon" explanation for her actions didn't feel like enough to change my view of her as a character in this arc, and the concept of heartbreak caused by Rena being given the doll in no way justified her development as a character/sadistic murderer
Another issue I felt was present in this game, which was more apparent than in the first, was the repetitiveness of music at certain points, especially during longer scenes when the same track would loop many times despite my reasonably fast reading.

Those points asside, I still highly recommend the game and appreciate the good translation as well as vastly improved character art.

Fighting against socialism is important, both in real life and in-game.

Early Access Review
This game makes me glad Steam now does refunds.
Next time you make a first year game design course project, re-consider releasing it to the general public.
Also please re-consider your life choices as a whole.

I like the part where the game plays itself for you.

The price matches quality, game has "funny" gaming and internet culture references throughout and provides about 40 minutes of content.
I did not finish this because of the pony upload minigame testing my patience + game not having a save feature after I inevitably closed it due to aforementioned minigame.

Shares many features of Minecraft: pixelated indie game with randomly generated levels.
Spelunky may be 2D, but it's a heck of a lot more fun
