So, these Humans wish to review the game after losing so badly? Very well, this Witch will be happy to guide you. But, A "God"Cast? What GOD influenced this? Remember, as you recount the telling of the tales, you're in the domain of Magic, not Divinity.

To you who have found this tale, I ask of you only this. Believe in the Witch. Believe in her power. You've read all that she has done. Believe.

Please believe, or it will never end.

Two in an embrace
One in a dark place
One body in flames
Three carrying blames
Five the Twilights spare
But still the Curse Ensnare
As the clouds leave the sky
And the gulls resume their cry
Were any left alive?

Despite ample warnings from the merciful Witch, disaster strikes the family conference. In the wake of the first move, the remaining vic- ahem, family members flail about for answers. Perhaps young Maria knows something? She seems quite pleased with herself.

When one sits down to dinner at a family conference, there is rules of decorum to follow. The line of succession will be reflected in seating. The servants will be impeccable. The letter from the witch will be held until dessert. Wait, what was that last one? #BacklogDialogues #WhenTheyCry #Umineko

But holy CRAP does Ryukishi07 not hold back on the number of Dramatis Personae in this one.
Let us set sail for a mysterious island - be careful not to fall.

Regional Idols and Character Actors put together a surprisingly good albeit incomplete version of the story.

When you're alone in the dark, don't listen to the voices that draw you to harm, but instead relish the connections you can make. This season's final #Minilog is Undertale, the kind game that also puts you through hell. We discuss the influence it had on us, and what it has to say.

A human doesn't get to choose
A god doesn't get to live
If I had to decide which to be
I might be trapped in the what if.
I'm glad to be here with you.
The god inside me must go.
But we will be together, my friends.

Rika is still trapped. As she disconnects from her human identity and falls more into the persona of a witch, she suddenly finds herself at a choice she didn't want. What is more real, the world she finds herself in, or the world she came from?
