Haven't played this yet, but played the previous ones (Higurashi and Umineko), just asking if this has some mindfuckery stuff like the previous two, since this looks like it's going to be more focused sci-fi rather than horror.
I literally loved each of all 07th Expansion releases so far, but I got the felling this one will let me down, as I can't bring myself to enjoy this kind of sci-fi-ish plot :/ we'll see
can someone tell is this a shmup? can t\you move around? or is this just a visual novel? also is there a family friendly version with bad parts blured , i want to play, but idk if its worth it
They are pretty much family-friendly. So you don't have to worry about bad parts. I recommend playing the first 2 series but each part is mostly stand-alone, so you can just play this one first. And to answer your first question, it's just a NVL-style (text in center) visual novel. It's worth it if you're into solving some mysteries.
I reached a scene where people were feeling happy and tried to be friends with each other. Man, the falldown is gonna be excruciating. My hands are trembling. The Higurashi flashbacks oh my
Bought the shit out of this instantly when it got released a couple hours ago. I bet it's gonna be awesome. Already played the demo and it was a delight. Gonna play it right when i get home. Then the waiting game begins until the next chapter release.
This takes me back. Saya no Uta is a joke... It has really nice suspense at the start but the cardboard cutout characters soon prevent it from ever becoming a good story. It tries to have this grand, climactic emotional moment at the end (or one of the ends) but it just clashes too much with everything preceding that point so it ends up feeling meaningless and bizarrely disconnected, like something taken from a different piece of media, with better writing and genuine emotional weight, where a scene like this would actually feel like some kind of reward. I'm sure it tried to go for some cognitive dissonance ("Oh man, I'm getting feels but that's actually horrifying from an outside perspective") but it didn't work the intended way, because in the end I just didn't care; all I got was essentially a supposedly touching moment between two characters I never grew attached since throughtout the whole novel they didn't show any charm or redeemable qualities. The soundtrack slaps though, nearly fooled me a bunch of times into thinking Urobuchi might be a pretty good writer after all.
The funny thing is that these aren't even lolis. That's just the way Ryukishi draws. And it used to be a lot worse. Saya No Uta is tame compared to Ryukishi's stuff. You can't even put them in the same category. But there's no way that you should start out with this. Read Higurashi first. It's been remastered with better looking sprites.
It's the story what matters when it comes to visual novels. Then again i love that Ryukishi keeps on writing and drawing this by himself, years since Umineko came out.
No, this nor anything else in the 07th Universe has ever had pornographic content. Instead, you will get psychologically damaging content. So enjoy! ๐
You had to say "Yes and it's already uncensored" He would've got the true experience, happened to me once when I though I was playing an Eroge and instead it was a psycho-horror (How to date a magical girl). SOOO much better to be unprepared
also is there a family friendly version with bad parts blured , i want to play, but idk if its worth it

Ryukishi doesn't fuck around.

so its a psychological horror too ?
It only makes the horror scenes more crude and visceral.
