***Full Release***

* Knowledge of Umineko is not required to play this game to understand the story, but could help you understanding.

* Knowledge of Class of 09 is not necessarily required, but is assumed.

When the Cardinals Cry is a Class of 09 & Umineko When They Cry fan game!! A horror/murder mystery visual novel that combines the characters of Co09 with the puzzles, complexity, atmosphere, and magic of Umineko.


Important to know: This game will NOT be like Class of 09 with different routes (or voice acting), but will be a linear kinetic novel. So you can sit back and enjoy the story and mysteries as they unfold.


Please note that this game contains art, music, sound, and other assets from other artists from and associated with SBN3, Wraith Club (Class of 09) and 07th Expansion (Umineko When They Cry, Higurahsi When They Cry, and When The Higanbana Blooms). Please support the official releases. Any other art and assets are, of course, credited in the game and belong to their respective owners.


In the game files there is a text file with some of the answers.
