Im extending an olive branch to the weebs: I can understand and imagine how this could get really good as a complex and intimately social narrative. But the cortisol my body would have to endure in order to maintain focus on this 200+ hour VN that moves at the pace of a glacier could actually kill me. I was not built for this. Halleys Comet would pass again before I finish this. My face would visibly crease and pockeney during the time it would take for me to even get to "The Good Part".
I cried like a little pussy bitch at the ending. 10/10
This is to cover a 2 year long replay of the initial 4 episodes and despite how long it took me to reach this point, I haven't had this much fun with a replay likely ever. It's the reason why I was actually able to finish (or at least part of it), despite everything. I almost never finish the replays that I start up for a myraid of reasons, but welp... that Umineko brainrot hits hard when it decides to 🥲
I don't know when I'll get around to the dreaded yet necessary Chiru reread so it may be a two year journey in the making too... however that seems somehow unlikely at this point. Umineko is without question a brilliant story to me. One that I will take with me throughout the rest of my life, it has given me an innumerable amount of moments of genuine happiness. Everytime I reflect on its core, its heart, to use Umineko's coined, trademark terms... I realize that it goes so far beyond 'just another story' for me and has irreversibly made it's mark on my life and way of thinking, much for the better, I'd argue.
When I first read Umineko, I was a dumb kid who, while surprisingly putting my fair share of thought into it for the time, couldn't have nearly understood the full scope of its impact on me and its message until much, much later. Even after the credits rolled on episode 8, and I was left with naught but a tear streaked face and pure admiration, it took many more reexaminings of it for me to take away what I've finally managed to wrest from deep beneath the initial surface level inlet of understanding I had grasped from my initial read alone.
I love this story so much, and honestly... I feel with certainty I can proclaim "this game will have a happy ending" miles before that scene rears its ugly head

Excellent excellent excellent mystery novel be ready for it to constantly betray expectations and lie to the reader
peak fiction
no but actually this game broke me im serious this story left me like a hollow husk i cant listen to ricordando il passato anymore or else im gonna spiral into a crying mess
umineko pacing
A VN that everyone must play
its a cool mystery with a pretty cool idea but i think it kinda fails at most of its characterization and themeing, not as if i dislike these characters mind you and i think some of the things it spins are genuenly interesting but ryukishi isnt a good enough writer to balance these two without major pacing problems and moments that break the tone
Peak of all fiction I've ever read in my life. A life-changing and matchless journey.
Masterpiece of detective fiction that goes beyond its own genre (and medium) in order to provide avenues for reflection on Fiction itself and our interpretation of reality.
crazy how this is the single greatest piece of media ever created i think
rudolf ushiromiya has the heaviest dick in those pants i just know it
i love this game so much expect the part 4 with Maria is boring. It's a part 2's re-edite
No es perfecta y a veces patina pero no encontrarás nada igual. Un duelo constante de trile entre el autor y el lector que no deja indiferente a nadie y te abrirá las puertas al fandom más de nicho de internet.
Recomendado jugarlo con los parches fan hachedé 1080pé de su puta madre con graficasos de PS3.

I literally went through the whole cycle of grief playing this game and I can say with certainty that if I knew eveyrthing ik now I would have never picked this game up and wasted like 6 months of my life reading all of it. When it was good it was really good and when it was bad it was the worst shit on earth.
No matter how many entries this "game" has on the highest avg. charts doesn't stop it from being a whole lotta mid
Yay for Rosa!
I need to replay this because it is gatekeeping everything I've experienced from being better than it (I just have that much faith in how much I've thought about it since.)
fucked up
que franquia boa meus amigos.
Maybe not perfect, and maybe not for everyone, but it moved me profoundly. I cannot recommend it enough if you have the time to put into it.

My favorite Ace Attorney game.

"Pathetic." - Ryukishi07
An expertly-crafted sound novel, immensely rewarding to those who engage with it and its themes. The kind of story that will stick with you long after you finish.
genuinely life changing and you're a stupid gay baby if you think it's bad
