Thank you you so so much, I’m glad you took the time to read this VN even so long after its initial release, and that you found it enjoyable!
I never bother listing Umineko as an inspiration because I love it so much and it changed me so much that it is all over anything I ever touch ahaha…
But yes, the influence’s definitely there; I’m glad this aspect was also enjoyable since you loved Umineko yourself too!
