{{italic title}}'''''When They Cry''''' is the English term for the wide-ranging [[w:media mix|media mix]] franchise adapted from the works of [[Ryukishi07]] and [[07th Expansion]]. The franchise was created with the release of {{higurashi}}, a murder mystery visual novel characterized by looping storylines, psychological horror, and an isolated village setting. ''Higurashi no Naku Koro ni'' has become its own subfranchise, spawning several manga adaptations and spin-offs as well as twoseveral anime adaptations. The wider ''When They Cry'' franchise has since grown to include 07th Expansion's subsequent titles {{umineko}}, a metafictional murder mystery set on a private island, and {{ciconia}}, a futuristic military thriller featuring human superweapons caught up in eschatological conspiracies. All members of the ''When They Cry'' franchise feature similar naming schemes, loosely connected continuities, and psychological story elements.
