We are also joined in this new move to GOG by fellow visual novel publisher, Sekai Project. Well, but in the end, it depends on how good they adapt it. So yeah, dont read this manga if you dont wanna ruin the anime adaptation. From the surface Umineko doesn't seem to do that at all. While Higurashi was about earning your happy ending, Umineko is the exact opposite of facing reality. We want fans everywhere to always have a means of enjoy these great titles.” Because in anime, they can create creepy atmosphere that is impossible to create in a manga (IMO, Ive never been terrified reading a suspense/horror manga, but anime adaptation of Higurashi was just OO). I'll say this right now, I prefer Umineko over Higurashi because of the sheer amount of effort needed to solve the entire franchise along with the different themes.

In the long run we hope to transition our full Steam catalog over to GOG, and we hope other developers will consider reaching out to them too.

“Steam has now proven that it’s growing unreliable for small and independent developers, so we are very grateful to have the next biggest retailer in the PC market welcoming visual novels with open arms and an eye for quality. A closed-circle mystery from the creator of the New York Times-bestselling.

“We have yet to hear from Valve regarding the removal of Maidens of Michael despite repeated attempts at contact.” John Pickett continues. Though the initial launch titles are limited to the Higurashi When They Cry series and fan favorite, eden*, we are working closely with GOG on bringing nine other titles to their platform, including the recently threatened Kindred Spirits on the Roof, which will be receiving a recently announced full-voice expansion, as well as A Kiss for the Petals ~Maidens of Michael~, which Valve removed from the Steam storefront in March 2018 without any warning or notice. We had been speaking with GOG prior to recent events about adding visual novels as a genre to their retail platform, and with Valve now threatening the livelihoods of visual novel developers everywhere, it’s a huge relief to see GOG opening their doors to these games.” Our PR Director, John Pickett, had this to say: “This opportunity couldn’t have come at a better time. With the viability of Steam as a retail platform for visual novels thrown into question by recent threats from Valve, we have begun perusing other potential retail outlets for our products and we are pleased to join GOG’s growing catalog! The scenario writer for the series is Ryukishi07, who also drew all of the character illustrations.

We’re excited to announce that we will be working with our friends over at GOG to bring our growing catalog to their platform! Umineko no Naku Koro ni H( 81 (fan disc)) Umineko no Naku Koro ni S(fan disc) 1. Umineko When They Cry is the second visual novel series produced by 07th Expansion, the first being Higurashi no Naku Koro ni.
