Update May 04, 2021: Below are the notes I kept while playing Umineko: When They Cry
between February - April 2021. Originally, this page was only planned
to be here temporarily, and I intended to delete it again once I got my
main Umineko: When They Cry review up, but as I've linked to this page a few times, I've decided to keep this page up. See the Umineko: When They Cry pages for more context.
I might not be updating this for every Question arc episode, but I'll probably at least refer to this page again when I'm finally done with the game and actually start on the review...
Latest update: Apr. 21 2021 (Twilight of the Golden Witch) DONE!
Obviously, this page is only interesting for those who have played Umineko no Naku Koro ni and there will be spoilers for each specific episode. The text is in ROT-13 cipher, which you can input on this website or whatever place to your liking, as it's a common, simple code.
