You can watch the trailer here.

Chapter 1 and 2 released.

Remade prologue released.

Updated a few things, previews of new sprite artwork and so on...

Chapter 4 released, links have been updated.

I've ported it over to Ren'Py and updates the links. It's much higher quality now, please give it a try

I'll look into Renpy for a future release. This one is more like 'testing the waters' and I very much would enjoy some feedback and criticism.

Back in 2016, me and my friends were just fooling around with the idea about making a game about ourselves and we needed a fast result. It was really easy to edit out Umineko out of its script and put whatever we wanted in its place, didn't take much time and the language was easy as well. The project stopped after the completion of the prologue. In late 2019-2020, I've decided to revive it and that's when 1-3 chapters were written. I continued editing Umineko's script and then eventually I ported it over to Ciconia's for that 720p resolution. Nscripter... sucks and I totally agree with you about Renpy and I want to port everything over to Renpy. Plus, I'd feel much better knowing that I built the script rather than use 7th Expansion's coding. The problem is that I don't have much time to learn Renpy's language but I'll definitely do it someday.

The plot revolves around a group of classmates who are entangled in a dangerous social game that threatens their friendship, principles, and questions their nature. With one person leaving the game each day, friends are forced to choose between who stays and who’s eliminated while something sinister gathers around them. Visual Novel “306” was inspired by Umineko no Naku Koro ni (written by Ryukishi07). It's been in development since 2016 and we are proud to show the results. A lot of hard work has gone into this game. I hope you all enjoy it. Every asset used in the game was created by this team, minus the majority chunk of the BGM and SFX. Created by: ReDHoddie/レッドフディー Art: Gegi Petriashvili, Marie Mzareulishvili Code: ReDHoddie/レッドフディー, Mari Babakishvili Original Score: Gegi Kirtadze (But most of the game music is placeholder OST from various official franchises) Voice Cast : Levan - Ryan Pratt Achi - Josh Portillo Marie - Sam Slade Pavle - Vincent Fabbri Teona - Loganne Digma Tako - Katie Otten Irakli - Josh Portillo Gvanca - Rebecca Chiara Marano Salome - Shakyra Dunn Miranda - Kelly Greenshield and Jenna Oliver Nino - Mari Chavez Mari - Cat Protano Giga - Mylo Reid Lika - Veronica Laux Natuka - Bella Sapphire and Kelsey Jaffer Veronica - Cat Protano Tatia - Kelly Greenshield and Jenna Oliver We hope you enjoy our game.

If anyone is interested to be a beta-tester, please let me know. None of us on the team are native English speakers so if anyone wants to help out, it'd be much appreciated.

Higurashi and Umineko

Umineko and Higurashi, the When they Cry series is a must read to people looking for mystery VNs.

At least Higurashi will be released soon, with glorious art and translation. Not to worry.

Of course, I do. Umineko no Naku Koro ni.

No, it is not me. But that is good news. But of course I might be incompetent towards the engine even if it's simple in theory. I specialize in Onscripter, which Umineko, Japanese Higurashi, Rose Guns Days and Higanbana runs. It's Ryukishi's favored engine. And I'm only interested in patching his works so I never went out and learned other Visual Novel engines. I never had such interest, plus it's quite hard to fully grasp the terrible scripts other games might run. I'm not a coder, nor have I learned computer science in my life, unfortunately. But my amateur skills are enough for Onscripter.

Only if Lambdadelta appears.

That's good, I wasn't planning to give up on it but now I am a lot more motivated to continue. I did like some stuff from what I've read so far but it just couldn't click with me.

Umineko is that kind of story, where you either love it or hate it. Something can't be enjoyed by everyone, unfortunately.

Localization of this game is impossible. If it had any sort of gameplay like Corpse Party, DanganRonpa, Zero Escape, then it would have a chance but a pure visual novel is just impossible to release in USA. As we all know, MangaGamer is releasing a new translation with updated art of their own. They confirmed it that it would be on a new engine and not on BGI, which was used for the previous release. If this new engine is easily patchable I am considering to make a voice patch for it. I cannot say anything before I see how the engine works though. (If someone doesn't know, I am Levani from Umitweak, so I have experience with inserting voices to visual novels) The ideal thing for me would be if they released it on Onscripter, just like Umineko. If it was on Onscripter, it would have already gotten a voice patch by someone else and wouldn't need my involvement but the world is not that kind.
