Oh, you had Lambdadelta on your avatar so I kinda thought you knew.
Several people are trapped in an island that is enclosed by a typhoon when mysterious murders start to happen. There's a legend that says that a witch (Beatrice) is the owner of this island and that this might be her doing. The main character, Battler, doesn't believe in magic and witches, and struggles to find the human culprit.
Overall, the whole series is about the battle between Beatrice and Battler: Battler denies witches and Beatrice doesn't like this, she wants to make him surrender so she can win the "game". Her power is "Endless magic", which means she can revive and kill people endlessly, so that's how she prepares the "table" for each game: she revives everyone then kills them in different ways, making it hard for Battler to believe it was done by humans.
Then some other witches come along: Bernkastel, which looks a LOT like Rika and might be related (Bernkastel mentions that she was once a part of a game as well) and Lambdadelta, which looks a lot like Miyo from Higurashi and which might also be related.
It's a battle between the anti-fantasy and the anti-mystery sides.
