The best story ever told in a videogame (by a fairly substantial margin). The best cast of characters ever in a videogame (by a fairly substantial margin). A strong contender for richest atmosphere ever in a videogame. A strong contender for best soundtrack ever in a videogame.
I remember discovering Car Seat Headrest's 2010-2014 music. It was (and still is), some of the most gorgeous, moving, profound, infinitely rewarding art I'd ever experienced. Life changing. I couldn't (and still can't) fathom how little interest it receives. I can't fathom living without it, either.
That's exactly how I feel about this game.
What are you waiting for?

The unbelievably compelling first half of the Umineko series. Forewarning for the interested: Be prepared for a lengthy read, at least 45 hours even for a speedy reader. Also, this is a doujin series, so despite the fact that it grapples with adult subjects like finance, inheritance, legacy, love, body image, and death, there's some otaku stuff in here.
The game features almost no interactivity, save for menus that allow you to confirm whether or not a character has died, as well as descriptions of those characters and other key information. You're essentially invited to either attempt to solve the mysteries using the clues the game gives you, or to simply enjoy the story as it happens, which is just as enjoyable considering how wonderfully written and detailed it is.
The game features a soundtrack arguably as jaw-dropping as its mysteries; if you didn't have an interest in trance music before playing this, you certainly will after it.

Great story, great writing and characters. Wonderful music, and mindblowing plot. Impossible not to recommend, but it's important to understand that there are no actual choices made by the player in this one. It's just a linear story - however, there are a lot of ways that the game uses its writing to make the player feel involved. Something like this really shows what the Visual Novel genre can do when in the right hands.

"you know what else grinds to a complete halt? umi 6" nope nothing in umi even comes close to the pain i experienced reading huge chunks of higu 8 and probably the *majority* of higu 7
it's aight. gets better and better as it goes on, and ends really solid which'll motivate me to read answer arcs, but starts in a pretty sorry state. also really weird pacing, sometimes im on the edge of my seat and sometimes im on the edge of falling asleep
Can you not be into anime/visual novels at all and still enjoy this? I'm not asking this rhetorically as an insult to the game, I'm genuinely curious because I'm fairly interested in playing but I'm worried that it might be written in a way that leans towards a style I'm not particularly interested.I'm not talking about stereotypes like fanservice and cringe humor and etc. more so just the general approach to writing; my best comparison would be other visual novels like steins;gate and fate/zero
it wavers but umineko is pretty damn anime at points. the fanservice and etc isnt bad at all but the grandiosity of it at points does feel pretty anime, and the slice of life stuff that pops up occasionally is also very anime. if you're ambivalent maybe give it a shot but if you hate the style probably not. umineko will probably reward once you get into it but getting into it may be a challenge
as someone who has a tenuous enjoyment of anime-y style writing 428: Shibuya Scramble[428 〜封鎖された渋谷で〜] or The House in Fata Morgana[ファタモルガーナの館] were much easier to get into. also they're about 100 hours shorter, so there's that
