    The party, having entered a small mountain village, has become trapped within a never-ending time loop lasting a single month, during which the a series of catastrophes occur which ultimately end in the death of everyone within the village. No matter how far away from the village the group may travel, they will always find themselves back at the village inn upon the end of the month.

    A local priestess offers an explanation: the town's guardian diety, having foreseen the events leading to the death of her followers, has begun the time loop in an attempt to prevent the devastation. However, maintaining this loop drains her powers and prevents her from interfering directly, and the people within the town do not retain their memories and are thus powerless to defend against what lies ahead.

    Your party - having stumbled across the village by chance - must prevent a series of murders from taking place throughout the village, stop a cult from ritually sacrificing a group of young village girls that includes the town's priestess, cure a deadly plague that causes hallucinations and berserk insanity - a plague which has already infected the entire party - and finally defend the village against an invasion that threatens to destroy it. Only then can the time loop end and the village's goddess reward you for your efforts.

    Aside from those dangers that threaten to imminently destroy the town, the village's goddess also asks that the party assist in a number of other, more minor problems if they can: a young orphan girl abused by her guardians whose brother has recently gone missing, a single father ensorcelled by a seductive demoness with lethal intentions toward his daughter, twin sisters forced apart by family politics and a young man troubled by memories of past loops that he should not have.

    Further, the party must deal with the hallucinations and paranoia which threaten to tear them apart: not all is as it seems, and no single party member can trust their own senses alone...

    There are ways to get a party to fight itself over false accusations of conspiracy, but you have to work at it.

    Is there a reason why the party is able to retain their memories?

    Because I can't really see them catching on the first loop around, and suggesting that they were revived yet kept their memories of the whole thing seems a bit...I dunno. I wouldn't say "cheating", exactly, but...

    It's the plot of an anime. Higurashi no Naku Koro ni.

    Actually, refluffing Higurashi as a Dorf Fort that the players got sent to investigate/reclaim makes a horrifying amount of sense.

    Everyone in Hinamizawa is a Dorf. Seriously, half of the cases could be described as tantrum spirals.

    The villagers have lived with the plague prior to the time loop; the plague is magical and disrupts the time loop magic which otherwise would prevent them from retaining their memories. As outsiders, the players start at each reset without it (though they quickly contract it again) which is enough of a loophole for them to retain their memories.

    An alternative is to make the time loop events a game between two deities (other than the village deity). They have gotten bored with the game and have added new pieces (the players) with new rules (memory retention).

    Or the plague needs to have advanced to a certain stage before it disrupts the memory retention. The players are already infected, but not to the extent the rest of the village is.

    This also explains why there's a boy in the village who is remembering bits and pieces of the previous loops - he's new in town, but not new enough.

    Original HNNKN was good - it was the kind of show that, when you watched it the first time, threatened to make you nearly shit yourself... and then it made good on those threats.

    Kai was not as great. I didn't feel the sheer terror from it like I did from the original. Well, that's desensitization for you...

    And the Rei OVAs were... wacky. Not really scary, no real decisive plot, just... out-of-place comedy.

    Actually, Kai was closer to the original VNs and manga than the first anime was. A lot of things got left out of the first season that were never explained in the anime AFAIK but were touched on in the VNs. Keiichi's being attacked by one of the Sonozaki sisters in the hospital at the end of Watanagashi-hen was actually a hallucination, for example, and Keiichi DID kill Teppei in Tatarigoroshi-hen - Satoko was hallucinating him still being there.

    The only thing we ever saged back in the day was CP and furries, and even for the latter we usually made an exception with Sergals.
