So if I am understanding this correctly, the power of Beatrice is based on the faith of everyone that she exists

Which makes me think the point of this is that if I find plausible ways that Beatrice doesn't exist then she won't exist.

.... Or something

Hmm

I remember a comment at the beginning of Episode 1 about the shrine being gone. Amusing

So really the question now is if Episode 2 is in the same timeline as episode 1. It's plausible.

The evidence of that is despite this deal being proposed to shannon the deal to Kinzo is obviously also already struck, and part of Episode 1 was George proposing. We could have a situation here where Beatrice is striking deals with everyone and that cumulates into Episode 1

Or perhaps this is just a reimagining of a different scenario all together. Also plausible

Intrigued where this is going

Why does nobody in this game care about these letters as much as I do.

The most interesting random detail is they are eating cake for dessert. Well that's weird. That definitely was not the dessert from chapter 1. Obviously there are some large differences but most of the small details had stayed the same until now.

I find that change peculiar.

There's no spoilers here, but putting it behind reference just because it could still be vaguely read into.

I'm being remind how absolutely fucking insane some of the dialogue in this game can be on a replay when you know the story. Completely inane, casual lines just taking on a CAVALCADE of new meaning.

It's an enormous investment at over 100 hours, but man is it a wild replay experience.

Yeah, I don't have the willpower to not look at spoiler text, but I kind of already inferred that. Too many lines that seem just odd enough for you to go "Huh" That's weird. Stuff like the headaches or the asthma which are touched on multiple times without going anywhere are signs of either terrible narrative structure or veiled deeper meaning

Given how respected Umineko is by some people I just immediately assumed it was the latter

Just erased a two paragraph post of non spoilers that can still be used to infer stuff. It's hard to resist.

Being on the other side of the glass for an Umineko topic is ROUGH.

I enjoyed the game well enough from the start, but I rememeber the EXACT moment in chapter 2 where I started losing my mind about it, which is probably obvious for most but I'm sure is obvious for anyone that remembers the topic.

Once you're hooked you're hooked.

Truly the FFXIV of VNs.

This brings up a question. How exactly is the OG art so horrendously bad. Was the budget for this game 20 dollars?

Even the PS3 graphics are noticeably poor at times until there is randomly some masterpiece art background that is used for one scene that makes me wonder why the backgrounds I see 95% of the time kind of suck

Ryuukishi does the entire game except the music and proofreading by himself. Writing, art, programming, etc. He's not good at art.

For his later games after Umineko he's actually said he could afford to get an artist now, but doesn't want to because he enjoys doing it himself lol
