Ousama Game: Kigen / Origin was clearly heavily inspired by Higurashi, and with thankfully very little to do with its rather comical prequel/original. Definitely read it if you liked anything about Higurashi, as it's by far the most similar series to it. Psychotic waifu included. Kigen is set during 1977. Higurashi, 1983. Both are set in rural, isolated villages where supernatural-esque, gruesome murders start occuring. Very atmospheric and immersive.

Both stories involve mysterious letters with orders which characters need to obey in order to survive. Death scenes, insane characters, similar feeling.

Ever wondered what would happen if your friends had to die in order for you to live on? Would friendships survive such a disaster? Or would selfishness and betrayal be the only option? And even if you would win, would you be able to live with the terrible things that happened? If you want to find out, you should read these manga. Both of them center around a game where only the last man standing survives. The stories are so packed with action that you will not be able to put them down.

Brutal murders and nobody knows who commited them. A border line crazy murderer who want stop untill everybody is dead is on the loose. Both of these stories involve a lot of killing and unexpected plot twists. If you like these kinds of settings you will not be dissapointed!
