if you've read and enjoyed higurashi and umineko, ciconia is ABSOLUTELY worth reading right now even if phase 2 never releases. this is some of ryukishi's best work and you're doing yourself a disservice by opting to wait until its fully out. the questions it leaves are so engaging that you cant help but immerse yourself in taking a shot at making sense of it all, the story it weaves is so engrossing that i couldn't tear myself away the entire time i was reading, and even though i groaned in despair when it ended, the more i sit with it the more i'm just happy to have experienced something as fantastic as this. it isn't COMPLETELY perfect, i'm disappointed that r07 decided to use royalty free music here even after his incredible lineup of composers did a stellar job with every song in umineko, and the OST here generally doesn't match up to the likes of higurashi and umineko, until the finale where xaki locks in and delivers some of my favorite songs in all of WTC. some of the FMV animations are really janky too but thats part of the doujin charm i guess. nonetheless, these are just smaller nitpicks i have with the presentation.
my friend conducted a survey in Japan asking roughly 1000 men which game yet to come out they are looking forward to the most, naturally none of them mentioned GTA 6. a large sum did mention Ciconia Phase 2. impeccable art style, impeccable story. it barely takes a few hours of reading to realize its profoundness. thank you.. Ryukishi07
In the womb of spacetime, humanity's infants lie dormant. Amid a war for survival against the apocalypse itself, conflict becomes the force through which humanity discovers value in its own existence; facing the most extreme struggle ever conceived. An unfinished work, perhaps because its brutal realism and unsettling philosophy resist completion, it speaks equally to passersby and unhinged conspiracy theorists, to scholars and the starving. A universal language, impossible to complete by its very nature. Sleep peacefully, my sweet Miyao. The greatest script never written.
