| Topic | Give me the scoop on Danganronpa. Is it a good series? |
| Rika_Furude 09/04/17 4:22:38 AM #48: | apolloooo posted... Is there puzzle/investigation mechanics in umineko or straight up VN? There's 2 "series" so to speak in the When They Cry universe: Higurashi and Umineko Higurashi is a groundhog-day like murder mystery in rural Japan, where every year 1 person disappears and 1 person is murdered during one of their festivals. Higurashi is extremely good, but also extremely long. It has 8 chapters, where the first 4 present 4 scenarios where the same events happen in differing ways, and then the last 4 chapters show directly how these happened, why they happened, etc. Higurashi is known for its dark atmosphere, amazing music and (if you watch the anime) gruesome murder scenes. Higurashi is definitely worth the read. Umineko is the "sequel", in a sense. There are only a couple of returning characters, and this time it's a murder mystery set on a private island owned by a rich family, in the midst of a storm where nobody can enter or leave the island. It also follows the groundhog day style pattern where each arc is the same events, but plays out differently. Umineko is top tier and definitely worth the read. You don't have to read Higurashi first but Higurashi will give you the backstory of one of the main characters in Umineko. Neither of them have any gameplay elements, its pure VNs, there aren't even multiple endings, except for 1 bad ending in Umineko where it's obvious which choice to make. --- ...
