Higurashi: When They Cry - Kaku: Outbreak

July 1983, a siren pulsing over empty village streets. Barricades seal the road, a single quarantine notice fluttering. Keiichi and Rena scan streets that remember screams, now coughing into silence. The virus could mean gods or labs. One girl stays too long in the clinic. A late-night film of paranoid villagers in an animation that shuffles genres like a deck of nightmares.
