To put it simply, Sillyhat takes the world of Umineko and, as if it weren’t twisted enough, seriously ''twists'' it, adding a dash of black humour and overall sillyness while still keeping everything within the context of the Visual Novels. That is not to say it is solely a humorous series, however; it does have its share of serious yet [[AwesomeMoments awesome moments]] and it has an actual continuity.
