Evaluation
Higurashi When They Cry Hou - Ch.6 Tsumihoroboshi is the sixth chapter in the Higurashi When They Cry Hou series, released on June 14, 2018 as a standalone chapter of a larger serialized visual novel. This chapter shipped as a complete, self-contained story installment — it was not designed to receive post-launch content of its own.
The news posts associated with this game's store page are publisher announcements for other chapters and titles in the broader Higurashi/When They Cry franchise, not updates to Ch.6 itself. The series as a whole has been fully released: Ch.7 Minagoroshi launched in July 2019, Ch.8 Matsuribayashi (the "final conclusion") launched in May 2020, the bonus arc Rei launched in June 2022, and a complete compilation called Higurashi When They Cry Hou+ launched in November 2023, explicitly described as the full collection of the series including previously unexplored fragments.
The release of Higurashi When They Cry Hou+ in November 2023 represents the definitive endpoint of the Higurashi Hou series on Steam. Ch.6 Tsumihoroboshi shipped as a finished chapter on its launch date, and the series it belongs to has since concluded. No further content has been announced for this chapter or the Hou series.

About this game
June, 1983.
The summer heat has arrived earlier than it does most years.
By day there are cicadas, and by night, the higurashi.
Hinamizawa, a small village in the Japanese countryside.
While there are fewer than two thousand people there, every year, 'something' happens.
For the past 4 years, someone has died, and someone else has gone missing.
This series of deaths and disappearances is connected to the local resistance against a now-abandoned dam construction project.
A murder during the construction, covered up by the local authorities, is being re-enacted year after year.
Is it a conspiracy? A coincidence? Or perhaps a curse?
Someone who was supposed to be there... isn't.
Someone who wasn't supposed to be there... is.
Someone who was alive last night is now dead, and someone who is here right now isn't alive.
There is no way to avert this tragedy. There is no choice but to give up trying.
But even so... please don't give up.
