! Original story
!! ''Higurashi no Naku Koro ni / When They Cry 1''
[[folder:Onikakushi-hen (Demoned Away Chapter)]]
The first game, released on August 10, 2002. Adapted into the 2006's anime Episodes 1-4.
----
* ArcVillain: As far as Keiichi is concerned, Rena is out there to get him. Mion joins her near the end.
* CuriosityKilledTheCast: Keiichi keeps asking [[TownWithADarkSecret the Hinamizawa Dam incident]], despite Rena and Mion making it very clear it's a sensitive subject. One question too much, and he's past the point of forgiveness.
* DownerEnding: Keiichi dies from opening his throat in the phone booth,
* IdiotsCannotCatchColds: When Keiichi stays home with the excuse of a cold, Mion asks if the club members can visit him. He says he doesn't want them to catch his cold, but Mion remarks that [[SelfDeprecation they're all too stupid to catch colds]].
* {{Hypocrite}}: As Rena points out, Keiichi has no right blaming his classmates from keeping secrets when he's conspiring with officer Ooishi behind their backs.
* RazorApples: How lovely, Rena and Mion deliver the latter's grandma's ohagi for Keiichi out of concern for him, and one of them is one Rena made herself, and Keiichi has to tell which one was it tomorrow. Wait, why are there sewing needles in one them?
* StalkerWithoutACrush: Rena has gathered a lot of information about Keiichi's private life by hiding behind him without him noticing.
* TakeUpMySword: Keiichi imagines this when he takes Satoshi's bat for self-defence.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Watanagashi-hen (Cotton Drifting Chapter)]]
The second game, released on December 29, 2002. Adapted into the 2006's anime Episodes 5-8.
----
* AlternateTimeline: It becomes very apparent that some events from the previous chapter now play out differently, and some can't happen chronologically. This should tell the players to expect all other scenarios in the series to diverge from each other.
* ArcVillain: It's assumed that Mion have killed Tomitake and Takano for breaking into the warehouse, but she explicitly kindaps Keiichi and Shion.
* GainaxEnding: After it looks like Keiichi has managed to survive this time, Mion appears to be BackFromTheDead and in his hospital room.
* SecondEpisodeIntroduction: Mion's twin sister Shion joins the cast, she wasn't even mentioned in the last arc.
* TomboyAngst: Keiichi gives a doll he won at the game tournament to Rena instead of Mion, citing that it wouldn't suit a tomboy like her. It's what [[UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom starts]] the domino effect for this chapter.
* TooDumbToLive: Keiichi and Rena interrogating Mion while Ooishi is standing by very far away with no communication is already bad. Then Mion invites Keiichi into the TortureCellar alone after admitting to being a SerialKiller. He was pretty much asking for it for still trusting her. Then, Keiichi manages to escape and Mion explicitly tells him to stay away from her. The following day he notices her outside the house, goes out to ask how she's doing and get knifed for it.
* TwinSwitch: Keiichi figures out that at some point, Mion has already kidnapped Shion and pretended to be her.
* {{Yakuza}}: It wasn't explicitly stated in the last chapter, but the Sonozaki family is shown to be a very traditional, rich and ruthless.
