Downloading When the Seacats Cry. It looks incredible. Geez, I'm going to need time to catch up on all of these.

---

I'm running an Umineko homage/puzzle thread on a forum devoted to riddles and logic puzzles, but I don't think it would appeal to Umineko fans as much as it appeals to riddle/cryptic crossword/logic puzzle fans; it's far too wildly different from Umineko. In particular, I deliberately avoid making it a Golden Age mystery or a deconstruction of Golden Age mysteries, because I don't consider myself well-versed enough in them, even if I've read and seen a few. This isn't going to be Murder on the Orient Express or something.

I want to write a story that does for riddles, puzzles, and "find the inheritance" classic text adventures what Umineko does for classic mysteries. So far, success is mixed.

Links: 1. The first post of the Prologue

2. The first post of Chapter 1

The ways the game is similar to/differs from Umineko in a nutshell: Similarities to and differences from the canon.
