hey look,
a post
cross posting this here for the misericode readers because its a new important detail

Snooze Cruise posted:

So for people who finished Misericorde and seen the secret scene, there is a new CG up on the game's twitter that answers some questions that was orginally meant to be in the game.
https://twitter.com/MisericordeVn/status/1656485822491934720


So the simplest answer to this is the game pulled some sleight of hand with the secret scene. Its not that time jump forward, but backwards and that littleoldme in the nun outfit is a misdirection in that its actually the most modern point in the timeline so far. We the reader are accessing this information at that point of time as well, and Hedwig handing off the documents was another point of misdirection.

I'm losing my mind over how well written Umineko is. I just finished reading chapter 3, and it's impressive how 07 beautifully writes these characters and gets me to care about almost every single one of them. I would for sure make a deal with a golden witch if it gave me 07's writing prowess haha. The soundtrack also fits perfectly. I loved Higurashi but felt it dragged with pointless scenes (curry contest) and also felt some of the answer arcs were just beating dead horses (Meakashi + Minagoroshi). With that being said I still found it incredible and quickly became my favorite vn. In my experience of reading Umineko there has not been a single scene I was bored reading and only 1 character I find completely uninteresting. I am so excited to read 4-8 , but I'm going to be super sad when I'm done with it (which is ok because this vn has made me cry enough haha).

Poor George Hideyoshi

No way I could find George boring, he's such a charmer (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧. And yeah, Hideyoshi is a bit on the dull side but I love his goofy smile and he's such a good natured uncle. I meant Godha. Yeah he can cook real well but he doesn't really have a relationship with anyone, and he was a bit of an rear end to the servants for no reason in ch 1.

I love Gohda because as presented he's just a guy with not much going on who's an rear end in a top hat but not enough that it really feels justified to kill him.

I think Ryukishi genuinely forgot that he made George like, 23 and not like 19/20 and that makes his whole deal with Shannon read so much worse

Gohda's kind of an rear end in a top hat and a kissass: does this mean he deserves to be forever murdered by BEATRICE? sources say "yes"

So, there is an interesting looking VN from a Spanish indie developer that got pu on Kickstarter today. A friend mentioned it to me, and the idea looks interesting, if the dev can deliver.

I can give you literally any links you want for it since I'm in the sub group. Not sure if you mean this one or another.

Unless you're looking for the ep 2 one in which case I'd have to look a bit.

I'm going to do a more thorough review and comparison of Mask of The Rose with Don't Nod's Harmony: The Fall of Reverie

but the headline is that Mask of The Rose is uhhhh not good (a real heartbreaker because there's very good stuff in there that would be great if they had just gone for a more linear and focused game)

Harmony is very good though, not perfect, but well worth playing and has a set of interesting mechanical tweaks to the visual novel formula

It's frustrating because the whole point of doing a VN was that it would be cheap and simple enough that they wouldn't have to do all their usual mechanical bullshit and just let you explore the setting and the characters.

Nope, there's weird counter intuitive mechanics and a time limit!~

edit: Like they knew their reputation and still did it!

People tried to do an English dub of Umineko?

Kind of baffling to me - is there really much of a demand for that? It's a visual novel, so there isn't the same "don't want to read subtitles" element, and it's really hard for me to imagine an English-voiced Beatrice.

Fandubs are also pretty much universally terrible in quality. (Don't use this as excuse to post examples of "good" fandubs, I don't care and they are probably barely acceptable at best anyways).
