When They Cry is the English term for the wide-ranging media mix franchise adapted from the works of Ryukishi07 and 07th Expansion. The franchise was created with the release of Higurashi no Naku Koro ni, 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 several anime adaptations. The wider When They Cry franchise has since grown to include 07th Expansion's subsequent titles Umineko no Naku Koro ni, a metafictional murder mystery set on a private island, and Ciconia no Naku Koro ni, 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.
