The House in Fata Morgana

I finished up The House in Fata Morgana a few days ago after working on it across several months. It took a while not because it's a bad game or a bad VN; quite the opposite, it's fantastic. It's just a story that required me to be in a particular mood/emotional state to engage with, which limited how often I was ready to go through another section. Fata Morgana is a really great visual novel and a strong love story set within the framework of some tremendously dark and twisted events. This game does not pull its punches and the tragedies and cruelties that unfold hit levels that a lot of games aren't willing to go to. The character writing is great and they do a really nice job at continually expanding upon and recontextualizing prior events and character beats as it goes along. The art is interesting and distinctive and the soundtrack is lovely. I highly recommend reading through this if you can deal with some really dark tragedy and are looking for a visual novel that's much less in the usual anime mold that a lot of the genre subsides within.

It is an understatement for me to say that it would be a grave disservice to your soul in this life and in whatever comes after to not take the time out of your day to sit down and experience the house in fata morgana

THE best visual novel I've ever read and THE best art ever. Everything is so peak from beginning to end!!!!! Literally life changing. For new players: I highly recommend to play with the Remaid of dreams patch for an even better experience <3
