When the Cicadas Cry Karma), licensed in English as Higurashi: When They Cry - New, is a 2020 sequel to the Higurashi no Naku Koro ni visual novel and 2006 anime created by Studio DEEN.

Plot

The story was initially marketed as a remake of Higurashi no Naku Koro ni. On one hot summer day in 1983, a transfer student named Keiichi Maebara comes to a peaceful rural village in Hinamizawa. There, he befriends his classmates Rena, Mion, Rika, and Satoko. Accepted as a full-fledged member of the "club," Keiichi and the gang plays all sorts of activities ranging from card and board games to hide-and-seek. But just as Keiichi was beginning to be assimilated in simple rural life, he stumbles upon the dark history of Hinamizawa. As Keiichi dives deeper into the mystery, he finds that his new found friends may not be all what they claim to be.

Eventually, the story was revealed to be a sequel rather than a remake. Rika Furude, the hidden protagonist of the original story, is forced back into the cyclical June of 1983, despite her success in Matsuribayashi-hen. Rika endeavors to discover why she is being tormented again and learns the dark truth about what occurred after she previously escaped the endless loops of Hinamizawa.
