So is this 100% a visual novel? Gameplay is regulated purely to dialogue choices I’m assuming?
yeah 100% VN, there are a few dialogue choices but very few and don't really impact the story
will prob get around to reading this somewhat soon. been reading umineko and that is a lot of reading, so i might take a break after finishing that up been an insanely great read though. dunno how many hours in i am, but it's at least two or three times the length of fata morgana. think i'm maybe like 40% of the way through atm.

have been enjoying the hell out of it. both the story and music are stupid good (good deal of classical music). loving the mystery aspect of it more than anything. makes you think quite a bit.
would definitely recommend using the 07th mod to get the ps3 sprites because the base sprites look awful imo. though they do sorta have some charm to them for some reason lol
both arcs are on sale on gog rn. not too sure how much longer they'll be on sale for, but would recommend scooping em up sooner rather than later. i bought them both almost two weeks ago now, so the sales gotta be over soon.

i don't blame you. been reading for almost two weeks and i'm just now hitting episode 4 of 8, so i'm not even done with the first arc yet
will let you know my thoughts as i get through it, but i'm sure you'll more than enjoy it
@redtruth @Nute

it is a lot of reading, so i'd make sure you got some time to set aside. though since there's multiple episodes, you can kinda split it up that way, but regardless, still a ton of reading lol. i've got a decent bit of downtime in between releases, so reading this has been a great way to fill that time up.

so people weren't overhyping it and it could potentially be better than Fata Morgana like some think

i can absolutely see the case for it being better than fata morgana, 100%. i think fata morgana will still be my favorite, just because of the fact that the emotional payoff you get in that story is just so f***ing absurd it could be similar for this since i still have like another episode to read, so i still can't say for sure just yet.
i guess i'd say it depends on what you prefer. umineko is more so the mystery and fata morgana plays with your emotions. i don't think i'd say one is definitely "better" than the other or anything.

you getting me so hyped to read this man wtf

bro, like i said, i don't think i've ever thought so hard about a story. the author wants you to try and figure out mysteries before the answers are stated. "everything" (?) can be solved with the info presented in the first four episodes, but it took me longer than that
the music also slaps

Really now?

one of their tweets in the last month or two said they'd announce their new project in late april. only 7 days left
@Nute @redtruth
umineko is a masterpiece. what the f*** how do they keep getting away with it in these VNs man
Can't wait to see the hype man
Also did you play Higurashi before playing that? I heard it's related or something

nope, didn't read that. from what i gather, there's some characters from higurashi in umineko, but it's nothing significant.
it is a long ass read, but holy f***, is it worth it man
