In all seriousness I would like Karifean's answer. There was a thread a few months ago where both he and Ultima Shadow praised it as a fantastic experience and so I was curious and looked it up on Steam but didn't quite get it - are there others in the series you need to experience first, or? I saw someone had done a LP on YouTube and thought about watching it wasn't sure if it was the right thing.
When They Cry is a series of Visual Novels, Higurashi: When They Cry (Parts 1 & 2), and Umineko: When They Cry (Parts 1 & 2). There's... four chapters of Higurashi available on Steam which I believe is the entirety of the first part, as well as the first part of Umineko. They are mystery supernatural thriller tales.

I have never actually read the visual novels, but the anime for Higurashi was more than enough to get me wanting to sink my teeth ~eventually~.

(Karifean will correct anything wrong I have said here and probably expand further on certain things)
