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.

have not played but this is like the infinite jest of video games in regards to like the extreme length causing only diehard fans to finish and creating a heavily biased perception of quality within public consensus, thus causing outsiders to dismiss it on principal without giving it a substantial chance
i don't really know about all that. games like red dead 2 or elden ring or witcher 3 or tears are around 125-175 hours if you're being thorough, which is really in the same ballpark as this game. infinite jest is also inaccessible for more reasons than just length; the plot is extremely non linear and the cast of characters is humongous. idk doe. i think most of the hate in this shoutbox comes from people who just don't like visual novels in general, for whatever reason (which isn't to say people who gave it a legit chance and didn't like it aren't out there, not everything can be for everyone)
umineko is to glitchwave what gintama is to myanimelist

@breakdownbbe good points but i would also argue that this also game is inaccessible relative to its medium (video games) beyond its length because it is upwards of like 100 hours of reading words which is a big difference in entertainment value from the triple a open world action-adventure titles like the ones you mentioned
i'd agree if this had like, substantially less ratings than do other visual novels but it's in the top ten most popular visual novels on this site. even on visualnoveldatabase it's one of the top ten most rated vns on the site. the game's rating is very high on both sites, as well, indicating that most people who are giving this game a chance are finishing and enjoying it. if it was so inaccessible i don't really think people would be playing it much less finishing it
idk what weird metric the charts are using to have this above mario galaxy when it has a higher score and triple the amount of reviews. i'm one of 3 people on earth who hasnt played mario galaxy btw this has nothing to do with whether or not i enjoy mario galaxy more
the score on this game is higher, glitchwave just doesn't properly filter out some ratings in the way its supposed to, so the overall score is incorrectly displayed
