Keiichi Maebara has just moved to a seemingly peaceful new town. He's making friends and generally enjoying his life until one day he learns of a grisly murder that took place in the little village. His friends won't give him any details, which only adds to Keiichi's uneasiness. After learning at the town's annual festival that a death has occurred on that night every year for the past four years, Keiichi is drawn into a web of intrigue to help unravel the mystery of these murders.

The further embroiled in the investigation he becomes, the more Keiichi's suspicions about his new friends grow. Their strange behavior only gives rise to more questions. Keiichi's paranoia reaches a fever pitch... with good reason. Assaulted by one terror after another, he nears the inevitable, bloody solution to the series of mysterious deaths caused by "Oyashiro-sama's Curse"!

You've already met Keiichi Maebara and his mischievous friends in the Abducted by Demons Arc. But Oyashiro-sama's curse is poised to strike anew in Hinamizawa village. When Keiichi spots tomboy Mion working at a maid café, he can hardly believe his eyes! But it's not Mion after all - it's her identical twin sister, Shion.

Twins Shion and Mion have Keiichi seeing double. But as he grows closer to Shion, their flirty friendship has Mion seeing red. When Shion and Keiichi trespass on sacred ground the night of the Cotton Drifting, a string of gruesome murders and disappearances follow. Are the legends of Oyashiro-sama's curse true? Is there a demon in Hinamizawa?

After a short trip to the city, Keiichi Maebara returns to the small mountain hamlet where he is welcomed with a fresh batch of pranks from Satoko and the rest of his school friends. Satoko may be the youngest of the group, but she always puts on the biggest smile. Who knew her upbeat attitude masked a terrible tragedy - a year ago her older brother, her only family, vanished without a trace.

Keiichi is relieved when Satoko returns to school after an unexplained three-day absence, but the little girl is not her usual cheery self. It seems her uncle has returned, and Satoko is once again at his mercy. Keiichi is furious at his friends' reluctance to step in and help her, but until there's definitive proof of her uncle's abuses, there's nothing they can do.

It's tough being the new guy in town, having just moved into the small rural village of Hinamizawa, but when Keiichi joins an after-school club and befriends four cute girls, life doesn't seem too bad. That is, until he learns about demonic cults and a failed dam construction project, plus the grisly murders and disappearances that have occurred every year on the day of the town festival. How many of his club "friends" are involved and what are their plans for him?!

On the night of the town festival, Keiichi, Shion, and Takano sneak into a forbidden shrine's storehouse, setting off a chain-reaction of paranoia, fear and murder within Hinamizawa. To his horror, Keiichi discovers that he, Shion, Rika and Satoko may become the next victims of Oyashiro-sama's curse!

Following Satoko's traumatic breakdown, Keiichi takes it upon himself to use extreme measures against Satoko's abusive uncle; however, things quickly get out of hand. An ominous encounter with Takano, an emotional revelation to Dr. Irie, and a hostile run-in with Inspector Oishi all begin to take their toll on Keiichi. Is he losing his grip on reality?

In the sleepy rural village of Hinamizawa, people and things aren't what they appear to be. When Shion Sonozaki drops out of private school and surreptitously returns to Hinamizawa, she incurs the wrath and severe punishment of her estranged yet powerful family clan after becoming involved with murder suspect Satoshi Hojo!
