Some say it's the terrifying curse of Hinamizawa's legendary deity, Oyashiro-sama, causing victims to be spirited away by monsters, but is this town harboring dark, horrying secrets even more sinister than any supersition or myth?

However, the news streamed through the television one day would change her fate substantially. A toxic gas disaster had occurred at a rural village. Furthermore, the village that got caught in the disaster was the one that Natsumi's family used to live in. Shocked by the incident, Natsumi's grandmother told her "this is Oyashiro-sama's curse'. What is this "Oyashiro-sama's curse" that grandmother is speaking of...? The event marked the beginning of grandmother's eccentric behavior. A dissonant tone within the family indeed. As the calmness becomes concealed with each passing day, the uncertainties in Natsumi's life begin to appear...

Summer 1983...Hinamizawa is a tranquil village, but its inhabitants have been plagued by strange deaths and unexplained disappearances seemingly every year.

The Rokkenjima Mass Murder (October 4-5, 1986) 18 people were confined to the island due to a slow-moving typhoon. Both the phones and radio had broken down, and they were trapped on an isolated island. They are assaulted by blood-chilling serial murders, mass murders, bizarre murders. When the typhoon passes, a boat will probably come. The police will come as well. Even the seagulls that enliven the docks will return. That's right, when the police come, they will resolve everything. Even if we do nothing, when the seagulls cry, everything. That is, if even one of them is left alive when the seagulls cry... What is expected from you is neither a search for the culprit nor detective work. When will you believe in me? That is all that matters. If you want to do some detective work, go ahead. If you believe that there is an answer, go and continue to search. This is eternal torture that will not end until you can believe in witches. Is guesswork possible, or impossible? Will you surrender to the witch, or stand up and face her? How you enjoy it is up to you. Note: The story is divided into episodes: four "Question" arcs.

Can the unnerving riddle of the epitaph which is said to point to the location of that gold be solved? In the midst of this, a suspicious letter is sent from one claiming to be a witch. The presence of a 19th person on this island, which should only have 18, begins to hang in the air. Brutal murders repeat, and unsolvable riddles are left at the scene. How many will die?
