The Decomp is Great :) the game though:
The first zone is sadly the best zone, with the rest leaning from ok :) to meh, to ''I want to fucking die'', you can really tell that Sonic was an experiment with this first game, with the games concept not being realized until it's sequel. Still a classic, but man if the rest of the game was like the first zone..

I supported this game on patreon for awhile :) I'm DonoKuno in the credits! (Weenie Customer: DonoKuno).
My GOTY, the artstyle & animations are full of character and charm, the OST is just banger after banger, gameplay is extremely tight, and I can't wait to see people speedrun/P Rank it. Loved seeing this game change over the years, and I cannot stress enough that if you ever liked a classic Sonic game, or really love games that rank you with a high skill ceiling, that you NEED to pick this game up.

It's Umineko, nothing I can say can really take away how much of a trip this VN is and how well written it's large cast of characters are, and was probably one of the most beautifully put together stories or piece of fiction in general i've ever read.
I never thought I needed to understand what magic was, how does a piece of media just reconstruct the idea of magic so beautifully in a mystery novel of all things while being a love letter to said genre? to say it's changed my perspective on a lot of things is an understatement.
This story will stay with me for a long time, 200+ hours well spent.
Rest, rest in piece in the illusion that you created,
Rest well my beloved witch, Beatrice.

5 - 6 are probably my favorite episodes of Umi, mostly bc of a specific intellectual rapist.

Man I love unreliable narrators - the VN
Seriously though, adore Higu, I might be more fond of Umi but all the characters here are great (I love them) and it's theme about being there for the people you love, sifting past miscommunication and misunderstandings, just to be there for them, regardless of anything, is honestly a really beautiful message that gets me choked up thinking about it. I definitely also want to reread it at some point too

Look I adore WTC, Higurashi is a classic, Umineko is peak fiction, where the fuck is Cioncia Phase 2, etc
But god the charm of this VN wins me over bad, all of the characters are fun or interesting in their own little ways, the alt history bent of the story is fascinating, with tons of twists and turns, and a weird clicking mini-game to emulate fighting to boot. I felt the ending should have been a little stronger? though it does wrap itself up nicely at least if not tragically. I might edit this review later as it's been literal years since I read it, but I remember it being a really good time.
