Umineko: When They Cry

Umineko: When They Cry, the third entry in 07th Expansion’s When They Cry saga, unfolds on Rokkenjima, a secluded island owned by the enormously wealthy Ushiromiya family. As they do each year, relatives gather for a conference to review everyone’s finances, but the patriarch’s failing health turns the meeting toward a more volatile subject: how Ushiromiya Kinzou’s inheritance will be divided.

What the family doesn’t realize is that Kinzou’s attention lies elsewhere. After being warned by his longtime friend and doctor that the end is near, he becomes obsessed with seeing his one true love again—the Golden Witch, Beatrice. Having spent years steeped in black magic, Kinzou prepares a ritual upon the family’s arrival, and when a fierce typhoon cuts off escape, a series of brutal, inexplicable murders begins. With eighteen people trapped on the island, survival becomes entangled with a chilling clash between what can be proven and what may be supernatural.
