July 8th, 2016–MangaGamer Releases Umineko When They Cry -Question Arcs-!

In Umineko, the player will join Battler, a scion of the wealthy Ushiromiya family, as he attends their annual reunion on the island of Rokkenjima for the first time in six years. However, that night, a disaster falls upon the Ushiromiya family, and they all begin to fear for their very lives. Battler’s cousin Maria believes the golden witch Beatrice has returned and committed murder through magic, but Battler doesn’t believe in such a fantasy. Still, could anyone in his family really have killed their own kin for the sake of riches? You know both the situation leading up to the incident and its tragic result, but the course of events is an enigma, and no one willing to share the whole truth. What really happened on Rokkenjima that night?

These first four arcs, the “Question Arcs,” will explore several different ways in which events of the murder may have played out. None are certain. All bear truth. Many questions will posed, yet few will be answered. Can you solve the mystery by the end? Or will it take more to unravel the hidden truth? Accompanied by a soundtrack worthy to deem this prose a ‘sound novel’ just by itself, this enticing tale is a must-read for anyone who enjoys thinking outside the box.

Umineko When They Cry -Question Arcs- is now available on MangaGamer, and will be available on Steam later today. Order now to get 10% off while this offer still lasts!
