Umineko no Naku Koro ni

Eighteen members and servants of the wealthy Ushiromiya family gather on the isolated island of Rokkenjima for their annual conference. With family head Kinzo nearing death, arguments over his enormous inheritance dominate the reunion, while a typhoon closes in and cuts the island off from the outside world.

Then the murders begin. Cryptic messages invoke Beatrice, the Golden Witch whom Kinzo has spent years trying to reach, and each impossible death makes supernatural explanations harder to dismiss. Battler Ushiromiya refuses to surrender to the idea of magic, however, challenging Beatrice's riddles with logic as the boundary between a human crime and a witch's game grows ever more uncertain.
