I just finished forest, and there are more than a few similarities to umineko. While I love umineko for being a love letter to the mystery genre, and think it's conceptually sound, I always felt ryukishi bungled some of the execution. I always enjoying talking more about ryukishi works than reading them.

Forest, in my opinion, works better as a love letter to it's genre (Being fairy tales/fantasy) has more naturally integrated metefiction elements, and has a better focus on it's love story. I'd recommend it to any fan of umineko.
