'''''Umineko no {{color|red|Na}}ku Koro Nini''''' (''When the Seagulls {{color|red|C}}ry'') is a [[Kinetic Novel|kinetic]] [[Visual Novel|sound novel]] that takes place in 1986, on the island of Rokkenjima. The rich Ushiromiya family is gathering in order to discuss what will happen to patriarch Kinzo's inheritance, since he has been ill in recent days.
 
While the arguments about the inheritance ensue, a typhoon traps all eighteen people on the island. The family then finds a mysterious letter from a person claiming to be Kinzo's alchemy councilor, the [[Witch Species|Golden Witch]], [[The Divine Comedy|Beatrice]]. Beatrice claims that she has been summoned by Kinzo to claim the inheritance, as the family has been deemed unworthy of it. [[Game Between Heirs|Unless someone solves the riddle of the epitaph on her portrait]] [[Race Against the Clock|before midnight on October 6th]] and becomes the family successor, Beatrice will claim everything that the family owns, including the ten tons of gold that Kinzo claims will be given to the successor.

* [[Curtain Camouflage]] - Jessica in Banquet
* [[Cuteness Proximity]] - The Stakes. {{spoiler|Sakutaro}}. Result: [[The Glomp|glompage]] and a lot of [[Squee]].
* [[Cycle of Revenge|Cycle of Hatred]] - Too many to mention, to the point where there's even a character who exists as an incarnation of it.
* [[Darkness-Induced Audience Apathy]] - {{spoiler|Both [[In-Universe]] and invoked. In fact, it's largely the point of the final episode, which points out that the Ushiromiya family could not have been nasty to each other all the time and that the previous episodes more or less both showed the family at their worst and that said worst is more or less only the theories of a bunch of gossipers.}}
* [[Dark Reprise]] - [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAupQUUglkU goldenslaughterer] is already a pretty dark BGM to begin with, since it plays during the more cruel deaths, but it gets a darker and more intense remix as [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=euezX9D3aDE the_executioner] in EP7, which plays during the fight between Will and {{spoiler|Bernkastel}}.
