Hakkoumori is a small, rural Japanese village with the unusual distinction of an extensive Irish heritage. This, and its small tourist industry, centered around the summer camp in the forest outside of town, are really the only two things its known for.

...That, and the number of people who get lost and disappear into the forest.

Formerly called ''When The Tropers Cry'', ''Kusahibari no Naku Koro ni'' is based on tropes common to the Franchise/WhenTheyCry series, and can be found on the Website/TVTropes forum in [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=nnlxr6bnanun5ajnx4unhan2 this thread]].

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Beta Chapter]]
* AmateurSleuth - Taro is looking for his [[ParentalAbandonment mysteriously-vanished parents]], who disappeared while he was trying to find his brother, Tomo.
* CanonDiscontinuity: After the first go-round didn't turn out very well, Lockon declared it a beta and non-canon before rewriting some of the setting and giving it its proper name.
* CuteMute - Chan.
* ClosedCircle - The forest around the camp is known for being nigh-unnavigable except by Kyouya. [[TemptingFate Lucky he isn't dead yet.]]
* CellPhonesAreUseless - In the Beta Chapter all cell phones in camp are kept by the staff for the duration, [[ChekhovsGun barring emergencies]].
** CutPhoneLines - Naturally, the suitcase they're in disappears immediately, and the emergency radio is destroyed.
* EveryoneIsASuspect - If only Kyouya knows how to navigate the forest, then one of the people in camp must be responsible... though Joshua is determined not to let this [[ParanoiaFuel keep everyone from working together]]. [[note]]No longer applicable in the canon chapters, as the village is freely accessible.[[/note]]
* GallowsHumor - Seto has a tendency toward this.
* GenreBlindness
--> '''Violet:''' What's the big mystery? People get lost in the forest. I've done that without even needing to find a forest first.
* GenreSavvy
--> '''Masato:''' There's a catch. There is always, always a catch. Don't ask if there's a catch, because if you have to ask, there is.
* [[spoiler:GlasgowGrin - The first set of murders in the Beta Chapter.]]
* MadnessMantra - Yuki becomes somewhat [[VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}} obsessed with dolls]] when he becomes distressed...
* MrExposition - Megumi and Logan are both fascinated by the local mythology; Megumi also thought to bring along some [[GreatBigBookOfEverything reading material]].
* NothingIsScarier - The camp director is missing. Check your cabins...
* RaisedByWolves - Chan, apparently.
* RefusalOfTheCall - Masato asks for time to consider [[DealWithTheDevil the fae's offer]].
** [[TheCallKnowsWhereYouLive The call knows where your campsite is]]
* ShrinkingViolet - Several of the campers, especially Yuki, Megumi, Haruko, and Shi and Chan.
* SleptThroughTheApocalypse - Masato.
* StickyFingers - Violet. Unfortunately, she's [[RummageFail not quite as good]] as [[ClassyCatBurglar she thinks she is]].
* WrongGenreSavvy -\Taro. So, so much:
--> '''@/{{lockonlockon}}:''' So allow me to understand... You are looking for a Japanese town with a Japanese name in a book about Celtic Mythology. An exercise in futility? Or just good old fashioned ignorance?
