started playing ep1 of Ciconia When They Cry, the newest VN from 07th Expansion. Iβm really fascinated by the world that this is setting up. Itβs a futuristic post-WW3 scenario with an eerily realistic take on the natural progression of current-day politics, but also with a bunch of crazy Black Mirror esque high tech stuff like brain hacking and environmental nanomachines that merge VR space into real life, and ascended beings that can predict the future or some shitβ¦ and the main characters are all very likeable and they all have Ryukishiβs style of character writing that just works really well at getting me emotionally invested somehow. Iβm a bit more than half way through ep1 and itβs already got me as into it as Higurashi and Umineko did. |

Iβm obsessively reading through the Ciconia threads on 4chan and itβs kind of amazingβ¦ itβs like weβre basically back in the peak of the Umineko theorycrafting days of 2009, when nobody can spoil you on the answer because nobody actually knows what the fuckβs going on in Ryukishiβs head. |
