first of all, if you haven't, read the previous wtc vns first (higurashi and umineko) as that will ensure you get the most out of ciconia. but even tho this game is in hiatus limbo rn, if you have any bit of curiosity about it i'd pick it up on sale. i don't regret giving it a read at all even if we don't see a continuation soon (or ever) just because the ideas and the lore is so interesting!!

The ending is genuinely sublime and might be the best thing that Ryukishi07 has written. It's worth the price of admission for that alone, but Ciconia no Naku Koro Ni is genuinely excellent all the way through.

Just like its predecessors, Ciconia When They Cry has been written extremely well and manages to set a powerful atmosphere right from the beginning. The volatile political climate and the factors surrounding it are beautifully explored and shown to the audience creating tension right from the start. Hopefully one day we will receive more of this wonderful story!

I have to say don't bother reading this AT THIS TIME. If Ciconia phase 2 ever gets released then yes read this story its worth the money and time for the "when they cry" tag alone, but without a sequel and only one other cannon mention within the when they cry universe there is not much to miss. That being said if you like modern war stories, mixed with conspiracy and drama then it still works well as a stand alone series. Just wait until a discount.

I recommend this game, but I give it a VERY big word of caution when recommending it. The story is unfinished, and it likely never will be finished. The story is good for what it is, but if you don't want to play something that doesn't have an ending, and will never get an ending, I wouldn't recommend it. Basically what happened was that the guy who made the game wrote it before covid, and then when covid happened and all sorts of bad stuff happened in real life, he no longer wanted to make more of the game. So it's understandable, although a bit disappointing. If you want to read a visual novel, I'd recommend his other works, higurashi when they cry and umineko when they cry. Those are complete visual novels.
