    I personally think it's fine for visual novels to be loyal to the name, and be a novel with visuals and music rather than contain gameplay elements. In fact I really like that. My issue is mainly with how incredibly tedious the story is and how hard it is to relate to some characters, who are often either cliché, annoying or just have the weirdest logic.

The last chapter was actually good though, as was the ending. The soundtrack is good as well, aside from some tracks. I cannot give this game a high score however, because of incredibly difficult it was to get through the first 80% of the game, which seemed to drag on forever.… Expand

    The Visual novel genre is something difficult to understand and it's clearly not for everyone. But that goes for any genre, you can't be a fan of everything out there. That said, when something gets the highest of praise it can be just enough to get you to learn and fall love with a genre you weren't keen on before. Is The House in Fata Morgana that game? Well no, it isn’t.

That said, when something gets the highest of praise it can be just enough to get you to learn and fall love with a genre you weren't keen on before. Is The House in Fata Morgana that game? Well no, it isn’t.

    This has nothing to do with this game lacking actually gameplay elements. A visual novel game that contains only a story to click through can be perfectly fine if the story is good enough and the visuals, music, sound and text all complaint the story. But House in Fata Morgana fails in doing that by several ways. For one, it's far too long. But that has to do with its pacing. Almost 50% of its text doesn't need to be there. Something happens, a character says something and then the exact progress repeats itself with text just being slightly different to feel new while you’re just being reminded of the thing that just happened or has been said. Is a character evil? Here are several scenes to show you just how evil he or she is, even though it was obvious from the start. Or things are being described while there is no need for it. This is a visual novel, so we see the characters and the background so there’s no need for descriptions of what we see and yet this happens constantly. Everything gets stretches out far more than it needs to be and that causes this game to feel incredibly slow and more like quantity over quality.

    It’s structure is also not good. You start as a character who doesn’t know who he or she is so the chapters are treated as memories, so after several chapters it is implied that you’ve regained your memory and the story ends there (and you can choose so, for a very lousy ending) only for it actually be just the beginning of this tale. Even one of these memories is called out by the main character as bad so why did the game made us sit through a useless, boring memory if only for it to be a twist? And that’s what this story relies on too heavily, twists. Twists just for the sake of twists. You’ll quickly become so use to them that nothing feels shocking anymore (and that while this game deals with some very dark themes) and the twists serve little to no purpose other than to make things feel ‘scary’.

    The art and music also doesn’t stand out. It’s very basic. Backgrounds are bland stock photos and the characters look like they’ve been drawn by several different artists who didn’t align their artwork together. The music is more annoying than pleasant and it only gets stuck in your head because it keeps looping like crazy.

    House in Fata Morgana is not good. It is strange that it gets such high praise while it clearly has some huge flaws. It is a story with dark moments, yet it is written as if it is for children. I can only give it credit for keeping me curious at the start, with the promise of it becoming better later on and it all to be worth it. But it doesn't. If you’re not of a fan of the genre, this will not change your mind.    … Expand

The way the seemingly unconnected stories slowly unravel and interweave is incredibly impressive but there is so much redundancy and unnecessary sub-plot. I don't feel like any of the "choices" it occasionally offers do anything but sandbag the reader if unlucky enough to pick the wrong option. There are some really exciting moments, but, man, does it drag. The plentiful dialogue feels unnaturally bloated the way a lot of Japanese-translated games do. The final climax was intense and emotional. I was on the edge of my seat, tears welling up in my eyes - very moving stuff - but then it just kept going! On and on, cast credits, epilogue upon epilogue, staff credits, more epilogue. A proper narrator and a discriminating editor would have done this game so much good! It would have been better as a regular novel in my opinion.

    This is one of the greatest games I have ever played, an amazing and engaging experience. 5 Stars, 100/100, 10/10, not a single doubt.

    However, I’m using the term “game” broadly. I have seen those stupid clickbait articles saying “Is Fata Morgana better than Zelda BotW or Mario Odyssey?” or some other ridiculous variation… And I believe the answer is that you can’t compare THIFM with    This is one of the greatest games I have ever played, an amazing and engaging experience. 5 Stars, 100/100, 10/10, not a single doubt.

    However, I’m using the term “game” broadly. I have seen those stupid clickbait articles saying “Is Fata Morgana better than Zelda BotW or Mario Odyssey?” or some other ridiculous variation… And I believe the answer is that you can’t compare THIFM with what people traditionally think of as “game”. It sounds weird, but this game does not have gameplay at all, no great bosses, no level design… In fact, not even compared with other graphic novels I have played, in which there are way more decision points and timed choices or weird control maneuvers to spice things up gameplay-wise… There is not much of that here. I see why some people do not consider it a game in the strict sense. So be careful, because even if it is a great game, maybe it is not your cup of tea.

    THIFM is more like a book, a more innovative book that not only provides the story through plain text, but gives you also great and immersive music, art, and a sense of aesthetics and presentation that fits the general atmosphere of each section (happy, scary, nostalgic, dramatic) and takes the story to the next level. I believe the developer takes a traditional book, and elevates it using all these different aspects made available by the gaming platform (pacing, delivery, presentation, music, art…) very effectively, creating an amazing experience. I’m confident this story (if properly written and paced) would have been great in a traditional book… I mean, the story in itself is great! But the other ingredients make it much better, much in the same way that a tabletop game sometimes feels better and new in a console thanks to quirks and design decisions that expand on the concept.

    THIFM is long; it starts as if you will see a series of short stories, and unfolds slowly towards what ends up being a long and intricate narrative. For me it was a bit frustrating as I wanted to finish it and finally discover what the whole deal was about, so when other chapters kept appearing it felt a bit like grinding. I wish I knew in advance its expected length, I’d have enjoyed it more… In a book you know how many pages are left so you have some awareness of how much is still ahead… With the game it is different, and it was difficult for me to have a general idea of how much progress I was making, as I felt I was about to finish and boom! Another 10 hours of gameplay…

    THIFM takes its time to present its characters and unfold its story. Sometimes it felt as if there was a dialogue between characters that was unnecessary and not moving the plot forward… You are all engaged and wanting to see how everything will fit and the characters end up talking about roses or how nice the sea was or how long it will take for a train to be ready… So in that aspect it might feel a bit longer than needed. However, I believe this is a crucial aspect of the game, as it makes all characters and situation in each specific era feel more real and deep… Through this apparently superficial exchanges you get to know these characters intimately… They give you a glimpse of their fears, their wants, their internal conflicts… And that gives more power to the whole story… So, when you are presented with the more dramatic portions you really feel the rage and sadness as if all the awful things narrated happened to a dear friend.

    I played this game on my switch in portable mode, lying in bed all engrossed as 9 PM turned into 3 AM and I kept advancing and advancing… There are some portions of the game that I wish I had seen in TV mode, and I feel the game will be effective on any platform, as long as you give it time to grow and develop and take the story as it comes… If you love good stories and twists, try it and prepare for 30+ hours of great characters, settings and stories.

    TLDR; The House in Fata Morgana might not be for everyone, but if you love reading and like fiction, it is one of the greatest gaming experiences available on Nintendo Switch. Do not miss it!    … Expand

A story that gives you a meaningful experience and perspective like when I read past the prologue in Vinland Saga for the first time. Like all great stories and even masterpieces they are not for everyone, but at the end of it all, these stories did what they set out to do masterfully and The House In Fata Morgana did so in stride.

    The story in The House in Fata Morgana is an extremely impactful web woven together carefully and in a very natural and believable manner within its own narrative, allowing the many vibrant and intricate charaters that you will grow to either love, hate, or at least understand thrive within it. The characters that thrive within this story are complex, fickle, cruel, kind, weak, strong, and most of all human. Along with the masterfully done plot and characters it is coupled with a soundtrack just as impressive and used in the right way for all the right moments to help envelope you in the history of the mansion as the maid takes your hand and guides you through it, imploring you to never let go.

    The character art and backgrounds really standout in this visual novel especially among other visual novels in a great way. The style of art used compliments the story perfectly for the tone it has set, from the backgrounds to the character art.

    The additional stories included in the Dreams of Revenant edition add greatly to the base experience, with Requiem of Innocence despite being more linear in it's narrative rivaling the main story and in my opinion just as emotionally impactful.

    My hope is that you will allow the story to open the door to yourself as you open it's doors and find the same faint yet powerful sense of hope that can be found within this beautiful and grim narrative to it's climax along side the characters.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. House in the fata morgana's gothic presentation and otherworldly, Bjork-like music come together to create a unique and compelling atmosphere, however I found the characters, pacing and overall story lacking. The game is split into chapters or "doors". The first 3 doors, the worst being the 3rd, are uneventful and frankly boring. The only thing keeping me going was the mystery surrounding the Maid and titular Morgana. Things picked up with the 4th door and the the narrative plays with perspective and who each character really is in interesting and compelling ways. It should however be noted that you can entirely miss the second half of the game by not clicking on a dialogue option within 3 seconds. It doesn't warn you about this and I had to look up a walkthrough after the game abruptly came to an end. Thankfully the second half was much better than the first and kept me guessing what was going to happen next. The true ending however, of 8 possible endings, was predictable and I was left thinking "is that it?" Thematically, the story is about love and forgiveness, but neither is explored particularly originally. And most of the characters, barring Michel, are one-note. The dialogue is also extremely verbose. Characters witter on endlessly about the same topic repeatedly or about nothing consequential and drag out the run time. This is also a very long game for a visual novel, around 40 hours. Maybe my expectations were too high going into the game given the metascore. I went in expecting Shakespeare and got something good, not great, let alone a masterpiece. I stayed for the atmosphere, but would have a hard time recommending it to someone else. 6/10.… Expand

    The House In Fata Morgana is really phenomenal in every aspect.
    Intricate plot, beautiful storytelling, morally conflicting characters, great character dynamic accompanied by gorgeous art and music.

    Fata Morgana is a story about overcoming trauma, understanding each other, looking through a scene with different perspective.

    Truly the most powerful, poignant, and well executed narrative in all of the fiction I’ve encountered. An absolutely essential experience.

    If you are not familiar with visual novels, it's important to be aware that this is not a videogame in the traditional sense - there is virtually no gameplay. Think of it more as a book with images and sound. You will be doing A LOT of reading.

    That being said, this is the best book I have ever read in my life. I can say with 100% honesty that no other work of fiction has ever made me cry this much. It's also the first videogame EVER that, on the same day that I finished it, I immediately started a new game to replay it all again. Seriously, please read this, and stick with it for a while because it starts a bit slow.    … Expand

    Ta gra mnie zachwyca. Za trzecim podejściem przebiłem się przez ścianę dzielącą mnie od tego tytułu i kurde szczęka opada mi co rusz. Odrzucał mnie styl graficzny, ale pasuje jak ulał. Muzyka jest fenomenalna. Historia zapiera dech w piersiach.

    This game is an exceptional visual novel that has captivated me from start to finish.

    The art style is stunning, and the story is rich with emotion and depth. The characters are well-developed, and their journeys are thoughtfully crafted. The music is hauntingly beautiful and perfectly complements the atmosphere of the game.

    I couldn't possibly find the right words to properly describe just how good this story was. I started it because someone said that at some point, "it was better than berserk's best", which I could hardly believe but I trusted the opinion, so I decided to check the game out.

By the end, I could not believe just how well everything fell into place and how emotionally powerful of a story everything truly was. The best part about it though, in my opinion, was that every character felt human, which I believe is exactly what they were going for in the first place. Never once did I think, "this doesn't make sense" or "no one would ever react this way", and each character also had their own hopes, desires, faults, etc, that were all too human as well. All in all, an exceptional story that I truly enjoyed.… Expand

    Make no mistake this is a visual novel. There should be no misconceptions about buying this with anything else in mind. The story when you invest past the introductions will blow your mind. It brings out emotions and feelings that I quite frankly haven't felt in a long time. It is one of a kind.

    the house in fata morgana is one of the most beautiful video game stories ever if not the most beautiful story, a perfect story accompanied by human and realistic characters, a perfect soundtrack, the best ever.

    The House in Fata Morgana is over 40 hours long, and in those 40 hours, you'll maybe get to make about three decisions. It is a visual novel in the strictest sense of the word, and you must be prepared for that going in. But with a fantastic, original, slow-burn story about love, loss, hurt, forgiveness, and recovery, it's one of the best visual novels out there — and your patience will be paid off in the end.

    I think fans of gothic literature, visual novels and/ or engrossing stories will find something to love about this game. Just know that if you start it, you've got to reach the end to really appreciate what it has to offer. [Issue #55 – October 2021, p. 28]

    The House in Fata Morgana: Dreams of the Revenants Edition is a long and finely constructed visual novel. It promises an intricate plot of suspense, intrigue and revenge for anyone willing to commit forty or more hours to the story.
