Witch of Systems

I have never sucked ass at a game as much as I have in Umineko. Sure, I can identify the surface level themes - the intergenerational propagation of imperialism, the inherent patriarchal and classist structure of the nuclear family, the invisibilization of capitalist war-profiteering post-WWII, the absurd toxic dynamics within ultrarich families, the role contact with the west and christianity played in the construction and maintenance of the Japanese empire, the violence of indentured servitude, the near limitless ability of rich men to get away with sexualized violence, the propagation of sexualized violence throughout the western literary canon since the 14th century, the way trauma affects one's ability to remember and reconstruct and the way that influences belief in conflict with reality - but who the fuck committed the murders and how?

Who has at least a motive to murder Kinzo and at least some members of the Ushiromiya family or be an accessory to such murders? Natsuhi, Eva, Maria, Battler's mother, probably George as well
