I doubt they'll follow along with the manga that much. But at the same time I doubt they'll follow along with the game that much either. It's like a movie based off a game or a book - it's never as good as the original. But that's mostly because the book or game is long that they can't fit everything in.
Episodes are about 24-30 minutes each, so it's close to 2 hours for each game. Someone who gets through the first episode of Umineko in 2 hours was surely pressing the 'S' key to fast forward through it.
As far as art style goes it's definitely different from the style that Higurashi is drawn in.
