Apparently I failed to realize that Λ Δ stands for 30 and 4 respectively as the Greek numerals, just like Miyoko does. It's an interesting fact that for a long time I thought that Lambdadelta is an Expy of Satoko, because of her lolified state and because of the pumpkin designs on the dress. After all, Beatrice doesn't cary the name of the Endless Witch for nothing. I won't deny that the new game masters have great chemistry together, but still they cannot compare to Beatrice both in terms of likability and the grand designs. Not only that, but Battler is unavailable as a protagonist either, as pridefully he decides not to participate in a game not led by Beato. With Beatrice unavailable as the Game Master, Lambdadelta and Bernkastel - Expies respectively of Miyoko and Rika of Higurashi fame - decide to stage their own game. Of course as the almighty Farrokh Bulsara said " The Show Must Go On". The unresponsive state of Beatrice also leads to the deterioration of the Golden Land that becomes soaked in the neverending rain and the only inhabitants remaining are Beatrice, her teacher Virgilia, demon butler Ronove and the higher plane version of Battler - the protagonist of the three previous games (and maybe a part of fourth). Of course I'm talking about the Golden Witch Beatrice - the alchemist of the Ushiromiya family. The most boisterous and aggressive character has been defeated at the end of the fourth episode and has by now slipped into catatonic state. The fifth chapter of the tale starts on a subdued note. I only hope it won't suck very badly :-) Inevitable spoilers for the first game might appear here, thus read the review at your own risk if you haven't finished it. I managed to avoid the spoilers and will dive right into this VN without knowing the reason for the lower rating. That coincides with the general opinion on the net that the second game is worse than the first. By the writing of this review it slipped to 9th and the Chiru chapters are staying in 23rd place. In my previous review I mentioned that the first Umineko game was in the 6th place by popularity on VNDB. It's time to rectify my sloppiness and finish the Seagull tale that I started last year already. In a short period of time he did "Umineko", finished "Higanbana" and started onto "Rose Guns Days" and I barely managed to follow his progress. He is a very prolific writer that does his own art too. Still, I cannot fault him for monopolizing of the doujin scene. Well, I'll concede that there are two more fandiscs for this specific tale - as I said in my review of the first game, Ryuukishi07 just loves making money out of additional material. "Umineko no Naku Koro ni Chiru" is the second half of Ryuukishi07's "When the Seagulls Cry" saga and contains the four remaining chapters that finish the tale.
