I finished the first season of Higurashi a while ago and it's been on hold. I've been reading the visual novel/game Katawa Shoujo and I've made it through four of the six characters stories. I'll be damned if I say that I didn't shed some manly tears atleast once so far. The character development and the emotions and the way things end up, arggh the feels, the sadness..
While I still do have two more character stories to go through, even if they ended up to be totally awful (which they won't because it seems I saved the best for last), I would not be anyway disappointed with the time spent reading this. The writing and the story telling is just so amazing, not to mention some of THE best music and the art was done amazingly well, some background scenes could easily be mistaken for an actual picture! When a group of people from 4chan with a $0 budget manage to make a perfect game that actually succeeds on giving me the feels this well... It shows were the gaming industry has gone. Their games promote us to be cold hearted bastards then a game like this comes along and bitch slaps our emotions and sense of humanity back into gear!
This game truly is a masterpiece and if you give it a try, you really won't regret it!
