yes, you DON'T have options, don't worry. ep2 starts with background story and a new one, like in Higurashi
you need to read the ??? party though

It only goes downhill from the first episode

>>4102179
Yeah, I was confused as hell too when I read the first episode. I'm on EP2 now, and I'm starting to guess that I really won't understand what happened until much later on.
But look forward to EP2, it's pretty interesting and it's more fast-paced than EP1.

>>4102179
You should wait until the last episode is released and only play that, the other episodes are so far completely pointless.

about the four childern, just read the TIPs, they were 'invited to the golden land' and dissapeared, umineko is about what Battler has been doing this game four the question arcs, explain how a human could have done it

>i'll move on to episode 2, hopefully that will clear some things up.

OP here. Beatrice finally apeared. Holy fucking shit.

>>4102184
obvious troll is obvious

>>4102190
Naw, I'd say it goes downhill past the 4th.

EP2's beggining is boring as fuck. Cursed happy couples and their dating.

It gets better when the witch shows up. The music too.

So the "tea party" basically takes place in the Golden Land, aka some sort of Purgatory?

>>4102208
more or less, remember to play the ??? party after it

>>4102202
It only gets more surprising, OP.

>>4102206
But George and Shannon were so cute together. ;_;

enjoy your tsurupettan

>>4102216
everyone did

>>4102218
Except the anime-only fags.

Battler basically condemned Jessica, George and possibly Maria (alongside with all the others) to hell because he wouldn't believe in Beatrice

>>4102221
they enjoyed the dokkyun dokkyun, shit sucked

OP I suggest you get the fuck outta here before assholes start posting spoilers.

>What happened to the four of them? Did Beatrice really appear? Were they taken to the Golden Land? If the epilogue is to be believed, Maria died. But why? Wasn't she protected by the charm?

Indeed OP. I suggest you get the fuck out.
Because people will spoil you with Battler marrying Beato in episode 6

Also, you get close ups in later chapters, pic related.

>What happened to the four of them? Did Beatrice really appear? Were they taken to the Golden Land? If the epilogue is to be believed, Maria died. But why? Wasn't she protected by the charm?
They found the gold but there was 10 tons of it so they were crushed under it. Then the culpit stole all of it and ran.

>>4102232

Not close enough

Beatrice exists
Magic exists
A Witch is the culprit
Beatrice is a Witch

>>4102245
Hah. That's one of the closest we get, right?

>>4102242
That means the culprit is really strong!! It must be Genjii.

Jessica believed in magic in the tea party, then when Beatrice was killing her shortly after, she told battler to deny magic.

>>4102258

So did George.

>>4102261
And Kanon. And Shannon. They were probably all just puppets of Beato-chan.

>>4102258
>>4102261
>>4102266
Exactly, before that point it was very hard to deny Beatrice's existence, but once they showed that they didn't believe in her as well, it was pretty clear she was influencing them in some way.

>>4102266

But Kanon,Shannon and Beato are one person.

>>4102280
DON'T START THIS SHIT

enjoy your dread of the grave

Lady Lambdadelta. Are you fucking kidding me

>>4102299

>What happened to the four of them?
Died
>Did Beatrice really appear?
Depends on your interpretation, very hard to answer/explain
>If the epilogue is to be believed, Maria died. But >why? Wasn't she protected by the charm?
At the end of the ceremony, everyone dies.

Oh, and regarding the solving part - this isn't a game. It's a book. You never lost anything, those who lost it were the characters in the story.

>>4102316
Look at you, what kind of name is Lambadelta, seriously.

>>4102346
you greek or something?
it didn't sound that bad to me when i first heard it.

>>4102357
It sounds stupid no matter what.
WHat's next, Kappasigma or ZitaVitta?

Went through the ???? TP part as well. Nice seeing another witch and having their powers briefly explained. She seemed to talk directly to me when saying she's going to "help" me. I'm assuming she was referring to Battler somehow.

Started EP2, so far it's just George and Shannon on a date. Hopefully it won't take for fucking ever to pick up the pace, as it did in EP1.

>>4102398
She's your best friend. It's alright to even leave your sister in her hands.

>Hopefully it won't take for fucking ever to pick up the pace,
Every episode takes forever to pick up the pace. Except maybe episode 5 and 6, those weren't really boring at the start. Episode 4 gets really boring especially.

>>4102398

You should listen to her

>>4102409
Oh, that sucks.
I dropped the VN about 5 or 6 times during the beginning of EP1 because there wasn't really anything going on, and only after the six murders happened did i start reading it fully.

Come back when you're on the 10th twilight.

You know, when I first started reading Umineko I thought maybe each episode would show a "twilight" since there would be probably eight episodes and eight main twilights. I thought of twilight literally.

>>4102421

ep. 1 starts off the slowest. ep. 4 has some boring flashbacks in it. I didn't find anything else that slow or boring.

>>4102446
the second time you can really appreciae those flashbacks though

>>4102459
>>the second time
Some people actually REPLAY this?

>>4102465
I've played 1-4 3 times.

>>4102465
ofc, I kenw I would like it better if i wasn't impatient for what's happeninng on Rokkenjima, it was even sadder

>>4102190
It goes downhill after EP1, but picks up in EP3, then heads right down the shitter again after EP3.

>>4102473
Are you saying that the Rosa musou and the "Slice up your cow-tits and make me a sandwich" scenes weren't fucking amazing?

>>4102473
>implying the goat-kun scene wasn't so silly and ham-handed that it was awesome

>>4102467
>played
>Umineko SN
There are gameplay elements in Umineko?!

>>4102531

Yes, it's a linear RPG with no random encounters.

All you do is read and save and load!

>>4102531

no

>>4102540
But if that's true then you advance the games by...losing?

>>4102543

No, they're all supposed-to-lose deals.

OP, you will lose faith, it is inevitable. Shit will get boring for a really long time but you have to persevere. The better half of Episode 3 is awesome. The begining of episode 4 is balls but once it gets to the island again it is awesome.

>>4102531
R07 explains (in Higurashi, but it applies here too) that you "play" the game by taking time trying to solve the mysteries of the story. This also includes going on forums and discussing theories with people and whatnot

Not that I'm saying I agree with what hes saying, I'm just putting it out there.

You make no sense whatsoever. Try to do better next time, or stop posting.
