You are supposed to figure it out yourself. How the closed room murders can be solved in each episode, who are the accomplices each time and why they are participating in the crime, the culprit's motive, what each magic scene means... The author wanted you to solve all this stuff by yourself.

But not many people are capable of figuring everything out or are willing to read the whole thing again looking for clues. You can just read the manga and it will reveal almost everything.

The best part is when you know absolutely everything and reread the VN from the beginning. There is so much foreshadowing it's ridiculous.

The problem with Umineko is that some of the best scenes go over your head until you reread them knowing the full truth. Not many people bother doing that, so they miss out on a lot of characterization and touching moments. It's a story that can only be fully appreciated after tearing out its guts.
