Pretty good mystery!! Big fan of the original for its quirky, off-kilter humor & characters with unique world building that made for an interesting murder-mystery adventure-style VN experience.
This sequel delivers exactly that and then some. I think I enjoyed the mystery & character motivations in this one a bit more, but that might be attributed to my unhealthy obsession with Umineko… sometimes the story felt Uminekocore in a way (- guy who has read Umineko once). Just like after finishing the original, I immediately looked up all the VAs & followed the ones I haven’t already been following on Twitter because they gave outstanding performances. Wasn’t expecting to like a couple characters as much as I do, and it’s largely due to the life that the VAs breathed into them.
There are some story elements that I think… are left up to interpretation, but if they make another one I really hope that they follow through with the narrative and bring even more zanier characters to the mix.
