It's very important to establish, however, what we're supposed to be caring about. If we don't, it's hard to derive much satisfaction of things ending one way or the other for one particular iteration.
Higurashi had the same problem (and did, at least, try to address it in passing), but it also had the advantage of a viewpoint character for whom some tangible benefit could be attained (and thus, "the one we care about" becomes the one where she happens to end up).
