I also think a good deal of the humour and surprise/shock value is lost without having played Higurashi first, but they are mostly different genres (albeit with similar approaches to mystery and suspense).

FWIW the Steam version's translation is just a repack of the original mid-00s fan translation, for all that entails. Yes you can turn off the art also.

Thinking about this and reflecting on how, conversely, everyone and anyone emulated EarthBound…… entirely because of Smash Bros

Because alt+drag is actually a useful combination in Firefox, I bound it to Windows key+drag (having already unbound the Windows key's bind to the Start menu years ago because I find pressing it by accident way too annoying for what *should* just be a modifier key…)

I agreed… but then I thought, surely there's a better way to drag a window in 2025 than that one barren strip.
Anyway, I installed something that lets you modifier-key-click any part of the window to drag, which has apparently been a standard Linux feature for over a decade.

THAT'S ALL!! I decided to shell out a lot more than I normally would to grab a good sample of this bothersomely large comic offering, so I hope y'all can use these recommendations as a good guide for the remaining… two hours of the sale… and counting.

Fallen into the Garden (https://is.gd/sfDmLo) – I liked this artist's previous comic, and while this continues last year's themes of space-faring culture-shock among sagely women, this one is more romantic and visceral. (Maybe the conclusion is a little abrupt, though.)

Bagatto (https://is.gd/toPJhy) – This comic is a platter of iridescent, sumptuous art and surreal dream scenes… maybe it doesn't have much to say writing-wise, but it successfully plays to its own strengths.

Aimé (https://is.gd/MAFHBU) – What initially seemed like a somewhat standard fairytale-type story with a simplistic art style managed to shock me with a few surprisingly touching scenes (including the climax) as well as several moments of artistic beauty.

Extraterrestrial (https://is.gd/yvkU1T) – A cute story with incredible colouring. Even if the characters and expressions might be a little too hammy, the dialogue is funny enough to keep up the story's momentum.

Sharpie's Mission of Rage and Justice (https://is.gd/7VXq9y) – A fun little wacky comic with great character interactions and dialogue that feels like it fits a lot into a little.

Li'l Burgers (https://is.gd/KpFGfM) – Funny and impressively well-drawn social satire about the contradictions of patriotism and globalisation, where national symbols violently and fruitlessly attack their own cultural irrelevance.

In Case of Turbulence (https://is.gd/PcPtrf) – While this is just a series of disposable memoir-type gag comics without any real conclusion, it gets my nod just for how snappy the punch-lines are.

Ladies of the Living Princess (https://is.gd/z7AfuL) – Despite a slow start (and somewhat muted ending), this grows to be quite the entertaining supernatural story with a surprisingly fun main couple.

Dead Horses (is.gd/cem4L8) – This one EASILY ranks as the best among the ones I tried this year. Excellent imagery and pacing, with a simple but not entirely predictable story, and characters who keep unfolding even far later than you'd expect.
