Besides, if you lose your will now, resurgam will have to start making the updates, and then where will we be?

Seriously, nobody's going to object if you take some time off. Hell, spend a couple of weeks doing something else if you need to, it's cool. I'm sure we'll figure out some way of amusing ourselves in the meantime.

I assume from what was said the last time I asked that Yasu is the final character, though I don't know that we've seen enough for their move-set to not contain spoilers.


Though back on the subject of the update, this is where I scoff at all you haters who doubted Kumasawa was the best mom.

The expansion for the fighting game isn't spoiler safe until you finish umineko episode 8.

Seriously, man, feel free to take a break. We expected you to take a far longer break before episode 7, so this is just you taking the break you could have taken then.

I remember there was a video dropped earlier that was safe, but I also remember Cross was specifically mentioned as being spoilers for episode 8.

Thanks for all the work you put into this LP, Prof! If you needed to go to weekly updates for a little bit, or even take a break entirely, to keep from burning out I'd be fine with that. After all, half the fun of a mystery is in stopping reading to discuss the puzzle, right? I think Yasu agrees with me.

I can't believe I made the mistake of reading this LP before it was finished.

The end of the game isn't out on Steam, so I can't even finish it on my own terms. After episode 7 there's one more episode, right? Hopefully this will all have a satisfactory ending.






Witches aren't real, Magic is Fake, Kinzo is one of the shittiest men ever to walk the face of the Earth.

I don't know if you'll be satisfied when you find out in Episode 8 that magic is 100% real.

Sure! Someone in #witchchat pointed out that it's kind of a prototype for Umineko, but it's definitely worth a look. Unlike this VN, Higurashi actually has a passable anime, too, though the manga adaptation is much more faithful.

It's worth noting that unlike Umineko, there's no smoke and mirrors deployed - poo poo gets supernatural. Much like Umineko, though, it also lacks its back half on Steam, though there are (to my knowledge) official translations of the second set of VNs.

Like stated, though, aside from Quality DEEN Animation, Higurashi's anime isn't too harsh of a diversion from the source material. It's definitely an option if you don't want to sit through a manga or VN dumping :words: at you.

Also higurashi is worth picking up ,there are only a few differences between the anime and VN, and it gives context to some things that occur in umineko. but its a good story regardless.

Also supernatural forces are at work in higurashi (but treat it like a witches game except with no red or blue truths)

well there was only 2-3 significant deviations from the VN (and are so smooth you wouldnt know they were deviations) but only 1 thing they cut out i felt should have been left in.

Like, what if Beatrice was a sack of cold potatoes the whole time? Even the original one. The Italians just brought some potatoes on their sub for sustenance and couldn't understand why Kinzo kept making out with the bag.

The people who read the VN and then went to anime pretty much hated the latter. It doesn't change anything, but it cuts a lot. That said it's still a very good standalone product, and the answer arc anime (Higurashi Kai) is especially fantastic.
