Posted Image So, another recently very popular game on /jp/ at least - Umineko no naku koro ni. The name might be familiar, that's because it's from the same creator and team as Higurashi no naku koro ni, though there is only a small connection between them story-wise. Aside from that, it's a completely different story though again a murder-mystery type situation. There's english patches for the first 4 'games' of this game (it's not all out yet and is being released one arc at a time - though the fourth one and the typical torrent which is usually of the fourth game, came with the first 3 included as well.) but the game itself isn't completely done yet. It's also worth noting it's going to be made into an anime in the near future. I just started today and barely have been on the island a little while (just got to the guesthouse), so far its fine. My favorite character is Maria because she's a moe loli. I'm not really far enough and didn't read enough of the threads before related to it cuz i didnt want to spoil it for myself so i dont really know the characters much at all yet, but yeah. Anyway, the characters are all fine, the art is...well its definitely better than Higurashi's was, and the music is great as expected from dai. The game is technically a sound novel, rather than a 'visual' novel, because it's art is almost ZUN-tier quality - the focus to set the mood is the writing, the sound effects, and most importantly the music. The art is lol, and there is no voice-acting, so it depends on those qualities a lot more than other vn's. As for the connection, it's just two characters that are quite obviously Rena and Miyo from Higurashi.
Anyway, it's supposed to be really great, and I don't doubt it will be. Anyone else played through whats out yet? |
