07th Expansion's original Higurashi no Naku Koro ni visual novel software launched for PC in 2002 and revolved around murders that coincide with an annual festival in a quiet rural village. The software inspired two television anime series, several video anime projects, two live-action films, and manga adaptations by several artists.
