Umineko: When They Cry – Saku

And last but certainly not least: Umineko: When They Cry – Saku features three fan disks for the original Umineko series, all in one convenient package coming to MangaGamer.com and Steam.

Umineko: When They Cry – Saku includes:

  • Umineko: When They Cry – Tsubasa
    A collection of 15 episodes from a small booklet distributed in the past at Comiket, adapted to visual novel format.
  • Umineko: When They Cry – Hane
    The “Jessica and the Killer Electric Fan” and “Forgery No. XXX” stories.
  • Umineko: When They Cry – Saku
    The stories “Our Confessions” and “Last Note of the Golden Witch” in which a new witch named Piece declares war against Battler, Enju, and Beatrice.

Although largely comical side stories unrelated to the main plot, they all add some additional background insight into the Umineko series.

Just like MangaGamer’s other Umineko releases, this version of Saku will feature newly drawn character sprites to match the Steam version’s upgraded visuals with an option to switch between them and Ryukishi’s charming original artwork.
