A Beginner's Guide to When They Cry

A remote village and its curse. A private island steeped in a legend. A world on the precipice of war.

What is When They Cry? Why should you care? And where do you start?

Corrections: Ryukishi07 was not the creator of the term 'sound novel', thank you to commenter rockmor for pointing this out. I'm also no longer sure if Ciconia was the first simultaneously Japanese-English release VN but I can't find a definitive source on this. I can say it was one of them and it's true this was largely due to Western fan demand that VNs don't usually receive. My apologies for not fact-checking these claims!
