The mobile game Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Mei (ひぐらしのなく頃に 命) is set to conclude its services on February 27, 2025, marking the end of its five-year journey since its launch on September 3, 2020. Not a bad run.
Developed as a gacha game, Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Mei is a cute and nice game experience within the “Higurashi: When They Cry” universe. Throughout its operation, the game featured notable collaborations with other visual novel franchises, including “Clannad,” “Kanon,” “Steins;Gate,” and “Umineko: When They Cry,” so, fans got a rich tapestry of interconnected narratives.
The decision to end the service comes after the completion of its storyline, allowing the developers to conclude the game on a satisfying note for its dedicated player base. It is important to remember that the game was never released outside Japan (here is the link to Play Store) and with its End of Service, after all this years, the chances are almost zero. There is a X/Twitter account if you want more information.
