【游戲簡介】(轉自維基百科)
《暮蟬悲鳴時》（日語：ひぐらしのなく頃に）是日本同人社團07th Expansion所制作的同人游戲以及依此改編的廣播劇、漫畫、電視動畫及電影。日文標題名稱「ひぐらしのなく頃に」中的「な」使用紅色標記，中文則是「暮蟬悲鳴時」的「鳴」。
本作品為以昭和50年代之虛構村莊「雛見澤」（雛見沢，ひなみざわ）村為舞台，並以該村之古老習俗「綿流し」（わたながし）為軸所引起的一連串連續死亡事件為題材之電子小說。作品中以平行的次元輪迴的形式，來諷刺人類深層充滿罪惡的本性，並在結局中指出只有團結一心才可以克服。
本作原先是以同人游戲在日本Comic Market販售，在2004年5月時在官方網站公開體驗版後，由於以「結合日式恐怖要素的獵奇殺人」、「導入本格派的推理要素」等過去在同人游戲界不甚被注意的題材為號召，且因故事謎題豐富、劇本完整等因素，作品的知名度因而一路水漲船高。原作的累計銷售量已超過5萬套[來源請求]，成為繼「月姬」以來又一以原創同人作品之名掀起熱潮之作。
挾此人氣之勢，本作亦朝廣播劇、漫畫、動畫等多方面跨平台發展。動畫於2006年4月起在電視上映。本作亦為首部宣布移植至家用游戲機（PlayStation 2）的同人游戲（但目前已有花帰葬、MELTY BLOOD Act Cadenza兩部作品早本作一步完成移植）。
本作劇本與角色設定由07th Expansion之代表龍騎士07（竜騎士07，りゅうきしぜろなな）所擔任，並使用NScripter作為游戲引擎。
背景音樂方面，出題篇的音樂是使用免費素材，解答篇則加入了愛好此作之同人音樂家所貢獻的作品。
本作品的特徵，就是將同人游戲大部分都有的「18禁成人要素」排除，雖然是電子小說但是「並不存在任何能影響劇情的分歧選項」。通常的電子小說，玩家碰上劇情的重點，會準備幾個選項，選擇會對劇情進行造成重大影響。但本作沒有那種選項，玩家會將全篇故事從頭讀到尾，如同一般的小說，也就是說本作嚴格說來並不算是正統的「游戲」。可是本作的最大特徵，就是故意不給選項直到故事結束，所有的玩家要解決事件的情報太少所造成的「玩家自己去推理、想像故事的謎題」這種形式。而且，全玩家都在同樣情報、同樣條件下開始討論事件，結果就造成上述的交流網站盛行了。
本作品大略分為兩部份。第一部份為故事的前篇「出題篇」，標題為「ひぐらしのなく頃に」，為同一時間軸的不同平行世界，從各種角度給予謎題和線索；玩家在各個故事中一邊解開若干舊有線索之謎，一邊獲悉新的線索以對故事進行推理。然而故事結束後並不會給予答案，而是在故事的後篇「解答篇」（標題為「ひぐらしのなく頃に解」）才明示或暗示解答。
游戲的進行方式是，玩家選擇篇章以開始游戲（一開始只能選擇該游戲的最早章節）；在開始游戲後玩家只需閱讀畫面上主線劇情的內文，同時在適當時機會獲得「提示」（ＴＩＰＳ），作為主線未提及的補充劇情。在完成一篇章後，玩家可獲得：
* 已完成篇章的章節跳躍模式（シナリオジャンプモード）：可讓玩家自行選擇欲回顧的故事位置
* 提示一覽（ＴＩＰＳ閲覧室）：可讓玩家回顧故事中出現過的所有提示
* 音樂室（音楽室）：收錄作品中配樂的相關資訊
* 小游戲（ミニゲーム）（僅出題篇）：附贈的小游戲
* 慶功宴（お疲れさま會）（僅出題篇）：故事主要人物齊聚一堂，共同對該篇章的內容進行詼諧的推理
* 工作室（スタッフルーム）：07th Expansion成員們的感謝詞
* 新篇章鎖定解除（新しいシナリオ）：玩家可選擇下一篇章以繼續進行游戲

Keiichi Maebara
The protagonist of this story.
He is temperamental and hot blooded, but at the same time he's also indecisive. He gets shy around girls easily... He is the sort of character you would find in the lead role of a love story.
As a matter of course, he's not very honest about himself. And of course, he's also quite popular with the girls.
Unfortunately this isn't a love story, so his personality won't do him much good. Quite the opposite, in fact...

Rena Ryugu
Rena is the main heroine of this story. She's a classmate of Keiichi's.
She is quite interested in his everyday life, possibly because of an inherent urge to look after people.
She comes with the standard-issue honesty, earnesty and blushes that you find in many heroines.
However, her only reward for taking care of Keiichi is an incessant series of pranks. It really is unfortunate for her.
She likes anything and everything she considers adorable, and this is also a very typical trait in a heroine.
But that is also her greatest weakness...

Mion Sonozaki
Mion is one grade higher than Keiichi. She is the class representative.
She is the active class representative type, which is the second most common type.
She is a leader, someone who makes friends with everyone, regardless of gender or age.
Because of her high-strung, easy-going, hyperactive personality, those around her never have to be bored. She is about the best kind of friend anyone could wish for.
Her personality is somewhat marred by a tendency to sound like an old man, but that's something to be forgiven.
Mion likes games of all kinds, be they card games, board games or video games. Because of who she is, her games tend to be high-tension. It's to be expected.
She plays with her friends in the context of club activity.

Satoko Houjou
A girl one grade lower than Keiichi.
She is usually very polite, but because she is still young she sometimes has difficulty with grammar.
However, behind her innocent exterior lies a personality that loves setting traps for other people. You could call her a trickster. She tries her utmost to snare Keiichi, but she has only limited success.
Although the result of failure is easily imaginable, Satoko doesn't like to lose, and she doesn't learn from experience. That is why she keeps confronting him, with all due consequences.
Even when she realizes her skills are insufficient, her smile never wavers.

Rika Furude
Rika is a grade lower than Keiichi, and thus is a classmate of Satoko's.
She is very quiet and reserved for her age, which makes her almost the polar opposite of Satoko. However, the two of them can often be found in each other's company.
Whenever Satoko is in tears after losing against Keiichi, it is Rika who cheers her up. When Satoko wins, Rika comforts Keiichi instead. When Keiichi teases Rena, Rika comforts her.
In fact, Rika comforts whomever is in need of comfort.
She seems happy with it.
