>Because it sure doesn't seem like people are getting any smarter, or culture any better.

This is the mindset of every thinker in every time period.

My old biology teacher was awesome. He'd go off on rants that taught me more than the actual book did.

All my high school english teachers were bitchy right-out-of-college grads. Fuck 'em. Bad times.

It's the fallacy of the anime art style. VNs tend to be more focused on the writing though, and the art is just there to set the mood/a small visual.

Umineko in particular has TERRIBLE TERRIBLE character art, the sprites are lazily done, but they work for what Ryukishi intended them for. The beautiful background music is what really sets the mood.

STALKER has a rather good plot, however subtle it is.

I absolutely loved Umineko, and I wish Witch-hunt would hurry up on Epsiode 6. It fixed what was wrong with Higurashi(too much circlejerking after the initial 'game', when no more introductions are needed) while stepping up the supernatural.

A great blend of anti-mystery and anti-magic, and has a few passages that make you think about how mysteries even in the west are structured.

The Russian: Read at least five books by Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Nabokov, Chekhov, or Strugatsky.

You don't even have to name it. You could totally keep it vague if you can pull it off.
