Gone are the days when I play through an entire episode of Umineko in a single night.

I'm going to call it here at the end of chapter 3 of Higurashi. It's entertaining, but I can't help but feel like the medium (or budget, I guess) is holding it back a little. For example, Keiichi is alone in the dump reading a tabloid about the creepy murder/dismemberment that happened a few years ago. Just as he's remarking how normal villagers could do something so horrific with tools and an axe, Rena shows up and surprises him with an axe in her hand.

He's understandably freaked out for a second, but because there's no CG or alternate sprite or real audio cue or anything, the impact is notably lessened for the reader. All we get is a silly sound effect. I'm going to hope there's some new sprites for when shit gets real later, and maybe they just wanted to keep that a secret for now?
