<report>Saikoroshi is an essential epilogue to Higurashi and one that brings important additions to both this and Umineko. The other arcs aren't necessary in the format in which they exist, one works better as a Fighting Game and the other isn't half as much fun as the regular SoL in the series.

<report>This vote is particularly for the Saikoroshi-hen arc of Rei. A perfect conclusion to Higurashi and an essential part of Rika Furude's character, while also tying the WTC series together in an understandable (for the first time) way to most readers. Essential to the WTC experience.

<report>✔️ Tested on Steam Deck, it works fine (03/01/2024). 'R2' button to advance text and touchscreen for starting menu.

Saikoroshi is the only chapter worth reading from this title, the rest are just cringe fanservice.

<report>Good conclusion to Higurashi series. It's still have a good, surprising plot! If you're not tired of Higurashi, I recommend reading it. They've also bringed back my man Satoshi!
Still, read only the first chapter. Other 2 are pure fan-service, and nothing more.

<report>This is a bonus chapter as a thank you to the players that contains 3 ministories, first one feels like a genuine and amazing heartfelt ending about decision that feels like an actual conclusion to the story and is worth playing for this story alone, and the second story is a more light hearted non canon story thats just for fun which i enjoyed and it also had a really nice ending with keiichi and rena, but the final story just flat out sucks especially the beginning of it im not gonna go more into detail but its just horrible but the second half of it while not good was honestly pretty funny. Really enjoyed this bonus chapter for the most part I would give it like
10 for Saikoroshi
7 for Hirukowashi
and a 5 for Batsukoishi (im being generous to this one)
