Higurashi mahjong remaster turns matches into life-or-death fights against killer anime girls

Higurashi is getting a mahjong game where players must take part in life-and-death battles against the series’ killer anime girls, where cheating, unfair tactics, and death await.

Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Jong Remaster is a fresh take on a classic Japanese arcade game from 2009 and is built around two-player Japanese Riichi Mahjong. However, in true Higurashi fashion, the tile-based strategy games aren’t exactly your typical chill Sunday afternoon sessions.

Instead, players must do whatever it takes to survive against their killer classmate companions to avoid a brutal demise, unlock new artwork, and get the game’s true ending.

According to the Steam page, the Higurashi mahjong remaster features three game modes and an original scenario supervised by original creator Ryukishi07. As for said modes, there’s Oyashiro Mode, which pits you against the likes of Mion and Rena in an intense series of high-stakes mahjong battles.

Just like the after-school games Keiichi plays in the original visual novel, players can cheat and use unfair methods to get an edge over their foes. You’ll need to use everything you can to avoid a grizzly death, especially when trying to get to the game’s true ending (you know, the less stabby version).

For those looking for a more chill session without the fear of being brutally murdered, there’s the Club Mode. While you’ll still be able to cheat your way to victory to avoid penalty games, the developers note that sessions here are more ‘heartwarming’ in nature. Not a bad option for those looking to learn the ropes, or just chill with their favorite characters.

Then there’s the Club Mode Extra: Paikuzushi Chapter, which is a newly added mode that features unlockable cutscenes after winning matches. That’s not all either, as there’s a Bonus Gallery where you can enjoy the new illustrations alongside character audio dramas.
