This is an excellent horror-mystery story. Its unique story structure and constant mindfuck creates an engaging mystery.
The protagonist, Keiichi Maebara has just moved into the sleepy village of Hinamizawa. Despite making many new friends, Hinamizawa holds a dark secret.
For the last four years, during the annual "Cotton Drifting" festival, someone is murdered and another person disappears without a trace.
The villagers attribute this to the guardian deity Oyashirosama's curse. Keiichi then realizes that his friends all have connections to the victims and the village isn't all what it seems . . .
