Can't describe this in words, it's some of the best fiction I've come across in quite a while. Definitely 10/10.

I don't really leave many reviews on games, but after completing this game I cant see why i wouldn't. I initially bought this game a few years back but took a long pause from the game, until recently i finally found the motivation to continue progressing through the story, and God I am so glad that I did. Just this week alone I've spent more than 4 hours each day, just captivated by the emotionally wrenching stories exploring the depths of human despair and the lengths that one might go for the person they love. The OST is phenomenal, complimenting each and every story and character, and the art is equally as remarkable. This game may not be for everyone however, as this entire game is primarily comprised of reading and is filled with incredibly tragic experiences. This is one of the first visual novels that I have read, and I'm not too confident that many will top the House in Fata Morgana. To me, this is certainly one of the greatest and impactful pieces of literature I've read, and you're doing yourself a favor by purchasing this visual novel. I've read a few other reviews, and something that'll stay with me is: "You were able to bear them because they weren't your tragedies." 10/10.

(originally posted on my backloggd) the house in fata morgana surprised me by being truly as beautiful and powerful as i've heard many say. the art feels like something from a storybook (so many facial expressions on its delicately drawn sprites!), its music will stay with me for the rest of my life, and the care poured into its characters and intricate story completely won my heart. *so* lovely. as others have said, it is definitely a visual novel that's best experienced without knowing too much of what's ahead. still, you should know some of what you're getting into. the basic premise is that you awaken in a dark mansion with a maid kneeling at your feet. she somehow knows you, although you don't know who you are. so, to help you regain yourself, she walks you through a series of memories that take place within the house. the house in fata morgana is a genuinely brutal tragedy. it has themes of grief, relationships, martyrdom, misogyny, patriarchy, power, isolation, religion, ideas of normalcy, forgiveness, and obsession. there are men being awful. you will see characters in their lowest places, struggling with mental health and who they are. even when it's a little on the nose or theatrical, fata morgana handles these themes with impressive grace. this visual novel is easily a favourite of mine. for content warnings, there is also torture, murder, gore, sexual assault (mainly off screen, but still intense), and abuse. there are more warnings you can look up, at the risk of spoilers! as well, the authors note that not all the language they use they agree with, but that occasionally makes it hard to tell what words are used intentionally or not. (so, a reminder that words like 'w**re' and 'savage' aren't to be used as insults, and to call sex workers what they are - sex workers, etc.) later in the story, i was also surprised by someone leaning hard into bioessentialism. but! i'm glad i kept reading. many characters in fata morgana deserve a chance to grow. considering their circumstances, they often have so much working against them. it was the story's tenderness that caught me off guard moreso than the brutality, however. what a relentless, heartbreaking examination of seeking a better everyday life! the story as a whole just has so much love, patience, and respect for its characters and the trauma they carry. one scene depicts someone experiencing gentle touch at the hands of a lover after knowing only violence - i had to take a break afterward. i will never forget the beauty of that scene. in terms of accessibility, fata morgana includes extremely photosensitive characters while unfortunately ignoring any readers who might be similar. there are a few white screens and many intense rapid flashes of white as the story unfolds. some can be predicted, but definitely not all of them! they were effective, i guess? they didn't make me feel good. but. otherwise. some things quite close to my heart fata morgana has spun into words and set to one of the most stunning soundtracks i've ever heard. its characters truly seem to breathe, grounded by the music and brought to life by lovely prose and detailed art - with its cheesier moments being easy to forgive. and, while the story may not get everything right, it's powerful to find characters so well written that you see parts of yourself reflected back to you even if you took your own path and live a different identity. the moments i couldn't strongly relate to also had such emotional weight that i could still appreciate everything very much. the story felt quite long, but it is all so expertly woven together that in the end i didn't mind. so, if you're okay with its themes, i'd recommend the house in fata morgana again and again and again. it's worth the time for something this beautiful! i would adore if, perhaps, we both fell in love with this flawed masterpiece.

The House in Fata Morgana te abre las puertas de una mansión perdida en la eternidad en cuyos pasillos y habitaciones resuenan las historias de quienes alguna vez tuvieron el infortunio de habitarla. Es una novela visual que trasciende lo narrativo, conmovedora y tan bien escrita que sin duda marcará un antes y un después en tus recuerdos.

This is the best visual novel I have ever played in my life. Everything is 10/10. The music. The art. The characters. The plot. The writing. My life is now divided into two parts: before THIFG and after THIFG. This changed me fundamentally. I played this three years ago and not a day goes by where I don't think about it. Fight through the first three doors for the love of God I'm begging you. Play this game. If you ever listen to a review on anything let it be this one. Play The House in Fata Morgana.
