''Higurashi no Koro Naku ni Mei'' is a smartphone game released in 2020 as a part of the ''VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry'' franchise. Although the game was released as a tie-in to the new season, ''Higurashi no Koro Naku ni Gou'', the game and the season are standalone entries.
Set in 1993, ten years after the Great Hinamizawa Disaster, Kazuho Kimiyoshi returns to her hometown to investigate what truly happened after she receives a letter from her supposedly dead grandfather beckoning her to return to the village. Along the way, she meets Miyuki Akasaka and the mysterious Nao Houtai, and they find themselves sent back a decade in time, days before the deadly disaster.
----
!!Tropes in Hinamizawa include:
* AscendedExtra:
** Akasaka's daughter mentioned in the visual novel of the final ''Higurashi'' arc, ''Matsuribayashi-hen'', is one of the protagonists, Miyuki Akasaka. She also made a cameo in a photograph in the 2006 anime.
** Tamurahime no Mikoto, Hanyuu's rival from the ''Hou''-exclusive arc ''Kamikashimashi-hen'' (the sequel to ''Outbreak''), serves as the BigGood for the protagonists.
* BadFuture: ''Mei'' takes place in a future where [[DownerEnding the Great Hinamizawa Disaster is not prevented]], or in other words, the Game Club kills each other and [[spoiler:Takano wins]].
* ConnectedAllAlong: Nao is [[spoiler:Rena's half-sister from her mother's side, born a couple years before the events of ''Higurashi'' and thus the Great Hinamizawa Disaster. As a result, Rena never knew about her.]]
* KidFromTheFuture: A variation. [[spoiler:Nao laments having never met her half-sister Rena before she was killed in the Great Hinamizawa Disaster, but the events of ''Mei'' give her that opportunity. When she reveals her true identity to Rena, her elder sister tells her that she's glad to have met her.]]
* MythologyGag:
** Miyuki Akasaka investigating the aftermath of the Great Hinamizawa Disaster also happened in Nintendo DS port-exclusive arc ''Yoigoshi-hen'', which is about a new cast investigating the abandoned Hinamizawa ''twenty'' years after the disaster rather than ten years later like in ''Mei''.
** One of the cards is of Rika in her [[{{Stripperific}} Angel Mort waitress]] outfit from the {{fanservice}} ''Kai'' OVA.
* RememberTheNewGuy: The main character, Kazuho Kimiyoshi, is the granddaughter of Kimiyoshi and was in the same class as the Game Club. It had never been previously indicated that Kimiyoshi had grandchildren, and obviously, we've never seen Kazuho as the club's classmate before.
