Umineko no Naku Koro ni takes place primarily in the year
1986, during the time frame of October 4 and October 5 on a small,
secluded island named Rokkenjima (六軒島?)
10 km around owned and lived on by Kinzo, the head of the wealthy
Ushiromiya family.[4]
Kinzo is near death, and eight of his family members arrive on the
island for the annual family conference, where the adults plan to
discuss how Kinzo's assets will be divided once he is dead. Also on the
island are three family members who live there, five of Kinzo's
servants, and his personal physician. After the eight family members
arrive, a typhoon traps them on the island, and
shortly after, strange things start to happen and people start dying.
The main character of the story is Battler Ushiromiya, son of Kinzo's
second son Rudolf. Battler has not been to the annual Ushiromiya
conference in six years due to living with his maternal grandparents
ever since his mother Asumu died, and even took his mother's maiden name
instead of Ushiromiya. When his grandparents died, he went back to
living with his father, his second wife Kyrie, and their daughter Ange,
his half-sister. Once on the island, Battler once again becomes
acquainted with the legend of the golden witch Beatrice who supposedly
lives in the naturally dense forest on Rokkenjima. A portrait of her
lies in the entrance hall of the Ushiromiya family mansion, and a
puzzling epitaph
is written below the portrait. Rumor has it on the island that Beatrice
gave ten tons of gold to Kinzo in the past to restart the Ushiromiya
family after being crippled in the 1923 Great Kantō earthquake. It
is said that whoever solves the riddle of the witch's epitaph will
receive the gold and be the next successor to the Ushiromiya family.
Once the typhoon hits, a ghastly game begins, starting with the
murder of six people on the island. If the witch's epitaph cannot be
solved, people will continue to die in mysterious deaths, following the
outline given by the epitaph itself, until the witch Beatrice ultimately
revives. After this comes to pass, Battler is the only one left alive
who does not believe in witches
or magic, and as such the door to the
"golden land" (as stipulated on the epitaph) cannot be opened. Beatrice
takes Battler and herself to a parallel dimension, Purgatorio,
which is able to oversee events on Rokkenjima. From this point on,
Battler and Beatrice are locked in a game of fuzzy
logic where Battler must attempt to explain all of the mysterious
events on Rokkenjima from the standpoint that they are caused by a
human, and Beatrice attempts to explain everything with witches and
magic. One of the recurring motifs is use of the locked room mystery, and several logical arguments are
presented to explain the mysteries including the devil's proof, the raven
paradox, and Schrödinger's cat. If Beatrice can get
Battler to ultimately surrender and accept witches and magic, Beatrice
wins.
