Inside Higurashi no Naku Koro ni: Ch.1 Onikakushi-hen

What it is

On a certain day in June, someone dies, and someone else goes missing. The series of deaths is connected to the upheaval surrounding the dam construction project. A murder case that was covered up is being reenacted. Is it a conspiracy? A coincidence? Or perhaps a curse?
