The content is very disturbing though. Dusk Maiden of Amnesia (tw: death, child death, I want to say over sexualization) - Niya is friends with a ghost!

Numerous people are dead with mysterious circumstances. Keiichi thinks his friends want him dead. He keeps hearing mysterious noises and feels like he’s being watched. Could this be the curse? Higurashi: When They Cry Gou (tw: likely the same as above)*** - this is a remake of Higurashi done by Passione.
