owned with truths and magic

VN is Umineko (which I will be relentlessly shilling for at least the next month or so, it’s so good)

text is my own in a faux scene generator for it that I was toying with

what is it about?
- Set in 1980s Japan, an incredibly wealthy family goes to their private island for their annual family meeting, and while the grandchildren reconnect, the adults descend on the elderly family patriarch's estate like vultures eager for quick cash. The patriarch couldn't care less; for decades now, he has been obsessed with using the occult to resurrect his dead former lover (and allegedly the source of his vast wealth), Beatrice the Golden Witch. A typhoon rolls into the island and cuts them off from the world, and in this isolated environment, many strange things begin to happen. Is magic real? How much family trauma can you fit into 18 people? Who is the worst character? Why do the sprites look like that? All these and many more questions will be answered.
  
  thx for the info! it sounds very interesting, i will probably "aquire" this in the near future
  
  You can also read the manga if that's a format you'd prefer to a 100-hour VN (that's what I did); all 8 episodes are on mangadex. The music and voice acting is top-notch, though.
  
  I'd add (for new readers) that if you can tank VNs conceptually and have time to do so, I'd recommend trying the VN first and not immediately defaulting to the manga. The manga is great and has its pros and cons compared to the VN but the source material uses the medium very well. The soundtrack is immaculate and there are certain tricks Ryukishi pulls that work best in the VN. There's no shame in switching to the manga, it's also very good (I read manga E1 after finishing VN E1), but I gotta also counter with glazing the VN here as someone who's chosen that route
- I'm copying over a post I wrote for the hook a week ago. I won't expand or rewrite it because to do so would probably just introduce subtle spoilers, as I wrote this after finishing episode one, and I'm on episode three.
  I will give a brief technical overview afterward because it's probably better not to google anything, so I will provide most of the needed links and information here. There is no spoilers beyond the first—I wanna say—2.5% of the VN here? unsure. It stops before the first moment that I consider a true spoiler. dropdown is just in case people want to go in blind. it is truly a ride to do so.
- Proving witchies aren't real listening to sick beatz and ermm... the usual family stuff plus some furniture.
  
  I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

addendum: this, however, is real

damn even her hair looks like the twin towers

You will get spoilers in red everywhere on the internet if you search umineko. It's from a visual novel from the author of higurashi. There is an anime and manga based on it too but its better to read/play the VN. In short without spoilers it‘s an island murder mystery involving a witch and it is pretty long.
