The House in Fata Morgana Reviews

Yesterday I was going through the House in Fata Morgana OST and I saw the comment of it being "the best love story ever told" After that I thought about it a little last night and today at the gym. Thinking back, I can say confidently the top romances I have read/played are: Totono Signalis Yukari x Makoto P3, Yukari's angle of losing some part of yourself when you get a partner and they are gone really hit me, specially with the DLC. This said, I agree with it. In my library, Morgana takes the crown. Not because of the writing, ok, in good part because of the writing, but because it does something none of the others does. A true magic trick is taking four independent acts and make it a coherent whole. The fact that it does that with all of its secondary - relatively speaking - characters, goes to show how much attention to detail it has. Totono messes with the player, Signalis is deeply intimate and uncomfortable at times, and P3 is an exploration of grief and how people react to it. The house in Fata Morgana does it all with a distinctive style and substance that sticks with you. Personally, it hasn't changed my views radically, but it has opened my mind to the concept of evil through inaction, injustice through apathy, and complicitness through cowardice. And despite that, it still is a tale full of hope and forgiveness that stand on its own merits.

My favourite story of all time. Music and atmosphere 10/10. Unique experience that pulls you right in. When I saw this was so highly praised above other manga such as Berserk, I was intrigued. And now I can safely say, that this was even better.

(i have played the full game on the PS5) 10/10 I have no words to describe a story as magnificent and beautiful as this one. Without a doubt, one of the best games I’ve ever played. A story that was told specifically in the way it was. Layers upon layers of emotions and secrets to be unearthed and understood. Woven and painted to reveal this gorgeous portrait of a tale. The music is the first thing to catch attention of the player from how incredible it is. Sounds and effects, and timings of melodies and voices that perfectly fit every scene happening in the story. It was uniquely and completely made for the game. The type of music, if you heard it anywhere else, you would immediately know it’s from Fatamoru. Music that if you heard randomly, will invoke intense guttural emotions that remind you of exact events and characters. Incredibly well made. Then we have the background art. Painting after painting that depicts the environment of everything happening. While also having that eerie, mysterious feeling. As for the writing of the game, I have no actual words to describe. Written in a way that was so captivating it made you want to keep reading, keep playing. You never seemed to want to stop reading these horrific but enchanting words. Written in a way to always keep the attention and intrigue of the player. The translation team obviously did an outstanding job translating the game in a way that still preserves its magnificent quality. Overall, everything in this game held me in a way that I couldn’t have expected. From reveals to plot twists to utterly tragic, horrifying stories. All the characters held me to keep listening, keep hearing their stories, needing to validate these emotions. And of course, at the end of the day, a huge story of love, healing, pain, regret, and letting go.

One of the most beatiful and harsh histories I've ever read. The narrative is brilliant and incredibly well spun from start to end, you rarely read a story with such coherence given the topics it deals and the length of it, whether you like it more or less this is something you cant take away from this game. Visuals must be the worst part of this game but regardless i found them very solid and in no way they put me off in any moment, in fact, i got to love the "clunkyness" that some illustrations have. Audio and ost was incredible. There are a lot of melodies and for the most part they do a fantastic job adding to the mood and feelings of every part of the story. If you like tragedies this game is a no brainer for you

really awesome and well thought out from start to end. only complaint is that some songs looped are veeeerrryyy annoying (chapter 2 delphinas im looking at u). cant wait to play requiem + the million other spinoff games

The best visual novel I've ever played. Amazing characters, artstyle, music, etc.

Japan peaked with this game. We can comfortably remove it from the maps, for it has served its purpose with this paradigm of all things good.

Great art style, great osts, great characters, great stories... it was a great experience it is perfection...

Absolute must read for fans of the visual novel genre. The game is very strong throughout even though sometimes it feels a little repetitive (explaining and talking about topics we previously saw and understood). Art, music, story and characters are impeccable.

hauntingly beautiful visual novel that masterfully blends gothic horror, psychological drama, and tragic romance. rich, non-linear narrative that spans centuries, the game weaves a deeply emotional story about identity, love, suffering, and redemption. the art is ethereal and the writing is mature and poetic. this isnt a typical visual novel, its a deeply moving experience that lingers for a while.
