INTRODUCTION
???????????????????? (When the Seagulls Cry ~Rondo of a Witch and a Reasoning~) is the latest from 07th Expansion, a small studio best known for the series ????????? (When the Cicadas Cry) which was a hit as an anime, as a light novel, and also as a visual novel. Both Higurashi and Umineko are "murder mysteries" with a few elements of the supernatural thrown into the mix.
Amazing characters, stories, and most of all, soundtracks; the music of the ~no Naku Koro ni series is, in a word, incredible. But, I digress... after all, we're here to earn trophies!
Unlike a lot of visual novels, there are no "decisions to be made" in Umineko. There are no "branching paths." There are no "multiple endings." It is a "sit back and watch" entertainment experience, and for the most part, the trophies all earn themselves. This is the reason behind its 1/10 Estimated Difficulty; Hannah Montana: The Movie looks like advanced calculus compared to Umineko.
That said, let's move on to the Road Map!
ROAD MAP
Step #1 -- Config Menu
At the main menu, choose "Config." This will unlock ???? .
Step #2 -- Start a New Episode
At the main menu, choose "Start" and then select "Episode 1." Once it has started, ????????? will unlock. You can press 
to auto-advance through all of the scenes. You can "sit back and watch" at this point, or rather, "go to bed" or "go to work." There will be no interaction required 'til the episode ends, and at that point, ???????? will unlock. Return to the main menu.
Step #3 -- Tea Party
At the main menu, there will be new options. Choose "Tea Party" and then select "Episode 1." You can press to auto-advance through all of the scenes. You can "sit back and watch" at this point, or rather, "go to bed" or "go to work." There will be no interaction required 'til the episode ends, and at that point, Episode 1 ??? will unlock. Return to the main menu.
Step #4 -- ????
At the main menu, there will be new options. Choose "????" and then select "Episode 1." You can press to auto-advance through all of the scenes. You can "sit back and watch" at this point, or rather, "go to bed" or "go to work." There will be no interaction required 'til the episode ends, and at that point, Episode 1 ???? will unlock. Return to the main menu.
Step #5 -- Characters
At the main menu, there will be new options. Choose "Characters" and then select "Episode 1." Press 
on all of the characters that say "NEW!!" and be aware that 1) There are two or three sets of characters for each episode. Press 
and to move between the sets, and 2) You also need to check the "dead version" of each character. Press 
to switch between the "alive version" and "dead version" of each character. When all of the characters (both "alive versions" and "dead versions") have been checked and there are no more "NEW!!" icons, Episode 1 Characters???? will unlock. Return to the main menu.
Step #6 -- Tips
At the main menu, there will be new options. Choose "Tips" and then select "Episode 1." Press on all of the tips that say "NEW!!" When all of the tips have been checked and there are no more "NEW!!" icons, Episode 1 Tips???? will unlock. Return to the main menu.
Step #7 -- Rinse and Repeat!
Go back to Step #2 ~ Step #6 and repeat them for Episode 2, Episode 3, and Episode 4. To reiterate, the order is...
A) Episode ---> B) Tea Party ---> C) ???? ---> D) Characters ---> E) Tips
...and at the end of the road, look forward to a new !
