Maybe that's why he went back to the conspiracy theory style of mysteries from Higurashi, and cranked it up to 11. The only way to figure out the truth is to put on your tin foil hat, take shots in the dark and come up with any plausible theory you can think of. He gave us all sorts of fuel in the form of illuminatis, chivalric orders, aliens, souls, nanomachines, VR, DID, immortality, crazy tech, angel wings, monstrous creatures, war between factions, political intrigue...

Umineko was a rare specimen in that regard, because it had clearly defined rules, red truth and all that, so an attentive reader would be guaranteed to figure out most of the truth early on. If he tried that again, people would solve it all in the first episode because they already know his tricks and his tendency to put foreshadowing literally everywhere. So he went for conspiracy mystery this time.

I really like it that way. It allows for countless theories.

Gunhild's death was a ruse.
