    By far one of the best visual novels out there, both the art and the music are outstanding, and it's rare to find writing so solid and compelling in this medium. Its aesthetic and the quality of the story also make it a great title for all sorts of newcomers to the visual novel medium. I can't wait to find out what the developers have in store next.

    This is, hands down, the best visual novel I've ever read. The music, the atmosphere, and the characters themselves all come together in a beautiful tale. Everything is perfect.

    It's basically an anthology of stories set in a mysterious mansion with a history of tragedies.

    The first story was really promising! In isolation I'd say it was a really good 7 or 8 out if 10. After that, however, is where things really started to fall apart. Every story follows a similar pattern after that. It's all written in the manner of a 14 year old who's not good at writing. I don't know if it's just due to the bad translation but it was next to unbearable.

    There were scenes that went on for way to long where a character would have one opinion and the other character would be trying to change that opinion. The scene would basically be one character saying "I'm going to do x" over and over and the other character would be saying "No. Please don't do that. Do y instead." and they would repeat this over and over and over and over and over to the point where I was just skipping through to the end of the scene where the character did inevitably change their mind.

    Because I had heard such good things about it I persevered hoping that at some point it would get good... But it never did. It never did. To see this averaging 100 on critic reviews on Metacritic is completely ludicrous. They must be on crack.    … Expand

There are no mundane choices giving the player a false sense of control. In this case, we are observers to the story as it plays out. In retrospect, I think the story is masterfully conveyed. I had my mouth glued to the floor as the mysteries unraveled themselves one by one in this tragic tale. It's hard to express the amount of love I have for this game without spoiling anything, so all I can recommend is to sit back, relax, and let yourself get absorbed into the world.… Expand

However, we will soon be seeing your tragedies; your pain, your torment, the secrets and memories you tried so hard to forget and bury. Will your mind keep its sanity or will you be swallowed by the darkness?"

However, we will soon be seeing your tragedies; your pain, your torment, the secrets and memories you tried so hard to forget and bury. Will your mind keep its sanity or will you be swallowed by the darkness?"

    The House in Fata Morgana is a Grand Guignol of the highest order. The story is cut from the finest cloth and the characters are human to the core. This is a story that surpasses the Count of Monte Cristo, Brothers Karamazov, and every work of fiction I have read thus far.
    Not only is the writing superb, but it is paired with a haunting musical score and an art style that is as indistinct and hazy as the Fata Morgana itself.

    This is a story of human tragedy born out of human nature. Tragedies spring from the lies we tell ourselves, the lies we tell others, the preconceptions we hold so dearly, the expectations of family and society, and finally the unalterable nature of birth and the tragedies that come from genetics.
    There are no fairy tales here. No character truly and utterly evil and no character truly pure and good. Any such thing you may encounter is merely a fabrication. A lie meant to keep you from the truth.
    This story lays bare the raw pain and torment a human can inflict upon another. It explores these torments with tact and finesse to lead you down a long and grueling journey in search of truth.

    What are the circumstances behind these tragedies? Can one person's perspective really tell the complete story?

    The story rejects convention and the constraints of genre. It is true literature that seeks to convey messages and truths through its words. It accomplishes this goal so very well. it shows you a range of human behavior, relationships, and emotion born about through shared pain and extreme circumstances. A hatred that spans the centuries, and a love that spans equally long.

    In going down this journey, I wish to convey words of advice.
    As this is a visual novel, you will be asked to make choices so:
    Do not avert your eyes from the truth. Even if the past holds nothing but pain, secrets must be revealed, the story must be told, and only then can an honest dialogue and communication begin.
    You are hungry, thirsty......weary. As you limp across the path, the trees open up and.... as if from another reality....... a mansion looms before you. Something in the air seems indistinct or unreal. But you knock on the door.... to the House in Fata Morgana.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. There were few little flaws mainly at the end of the story (for example I didn't liked when it turned into semi-comedy scenes with Georges painting - it just felt out of place, not blending well with overall game atmosphere) and also some scenes were overdone like too much of "aah aaaa haaa" especially in "Beast" story which in my opinion was the worst overall.
    Anyway, in general it was quite great experience. The story was mysterious and held in suspense. It stimulates to analyze tiny bits of hints and theoretize about the true nature of bizzare situation you've end up after you lost all memories about who you are and past events. The very ending was kind of predictable though.    … Expand

    I absolutely loved this. What an incredible tale of tragedy and layered consequences of selfish actions. The story is a slow burn and takes a bit of time to set the stage, but really comes with the gut punches in the fourth act. I don't want to spoil anything, so just strap in and let this game enrapture you.

I just finished playing door 7 and I can confidently say that this game is already a masterpiece even though I haven't even finished it yet.

    My favorite VN of all time

    Fata is a story about humanity, in a way. What makes people commit the actions they commit, how we influence others, and how we're influenced, and how we learn to love, to open up, to accpet others into our lives, and most importantly, finding it within ourselves to understand each other.

Fata does this to such a great extent, in a way that doesn't feel cliched or in a way that feels forced. Throughout the course of it, you see the worst of people, and yet you see what causes "the worst" in them. There's never something as simple as "good and evil", and people never are under those two labels. People are people, because we are forged by others, whether good and bad. It's an incredibly potent message, and its amplified so well through the protagonist, who experiences this through their own character journey and through others, and how they begin to open up, and cause others to open up at the same time, and allow them to understand others.    … Expand

I felt connected to every character by the end, truly, even the ones that I didn't like at the beginning. Also, for someone with trauma, this game was INCREDIBLY cathartic. The lessons it teaches about emotional vulnerability, forgiveness, and so many other mental health topics is profound, to say the least. I beat the PS4 version of this game in 2019 and have not stopped thinking about it since. The switch version is even better, easily the best VN on the system. While there are not as many choices as in other visual novels, the choices that do occur actually matter and lead to endings much more directly. People have likely complained that there's no voice acting so you have to actually READ (gasp!) the text, but 1.) most of the soundtrack has vocals, and 2.) voice acting would actually ruin some of the suspense.
    Anyway, tldr, this game is the most amazing thing I've seen in a long, long time. If you want to support a small and passionate indie dev team and a female head writer, get this game.    … Expand

At times, the story can seem a bit convoluted, but I finished the "game" fully understanding everything just fine. The entire "game" is reading, without any voice acting except for the sequel, but I turned off the voiceover because it was Japanese but the onscreen text was English, which drove me crazy, so I chose to just read. Much of the storyline is just banter here and there, but overall it left me constantly wanting to proceed to see what happens next. The game is rated M because of a lot of vulgar language, violent plotlines and "adult" themes. I would not recommend it for children. But yeah, definitely a very memorable story with memorable characters and amazing soundtrack!… Expand

    To start off: this is a visual novel, which means it’s entirely focused on reading. The extent of the “gameplay” is clicking a few choices.

Most of the negative user reviews are people who are mad an “anime book” can get a perfect critic score or people who are unfamiliar to VNs and were expecting something different.

    The House in Fata Morgana is excellent. I’ve read nearly 100 VNs, and it still stands out to me as one of the most unique and heartfelt. It’s a horror/mystery VN set in a mansion, where the protagonist (“You”) travels through four doors set in different time periods to unravel the mystery. There’s a ton of depth to this game that doesn’t show up at a first glance, and the story is extremely moving and emotional with a ton of twists and turns along the way. The characters are the highlight of the game and feel very real and human, and eventually you’ll begin to genuinely care about them and their stories like they’re real people. All of them are very flawed individuals, but that doesn’t make you love them any less. FataMoru really shows how the visual novel medium can shine through its art and music. As you can see from the box art, the VN doesn’t use a typical anime style but instead has a more realistic painting style that’s very charming and somewhat creepy — fitting with the theme of the game. All of the CGs are beautifully painted and express a lot of emotion in them, making the experience much more rich. The OST is one of my favorites for any game, beautiful orchestral pieces accompanied by Portuguese lyrics. The soundtrack has a ton of different genres and greatly amplifies the emotional impact of FataMoru’s scenes. Both the art and music come together to make an already special VN even more unique. Overall, I highly recommend you give The House in Fata Morgana a chance, even if you’re new to VNs. It’s definitely one of the best and most unique VNs out there, and it’s a story that’ll stick with you for a long time.    … Expand

    One of the best VNs of all time. I couldn't put it down. I'm actually more surprised that it's not a mainstream game. The story, OST, and art are all superb.

    If you're like me, who only took notice of this game after garnering a super high score, please do your research first. This is a visual novel. People can argue whether this is a game or not, but I personally do think it is. I like VNs. It's sad that some of the user reviewers here only gave one to bring down its score (e.g. some people complaining that it's JUST a VN so it doesn't deserve a super high score.. come on, can't you give anything substantial to warrant a true negative review?). I, too, had great expectations of this game due to its score, but I wasn't disappointed at all. Also, don't drop it until you've reached the fourth door. It gets better, I promise.

    My actual rating is 9.5 I really loved the whole experience but I just can't not dock points for this one story aspect (I don't want to elaborate further because it's a spoiler). It's a personal thing though, so I'm not surprised that a lot of other users rated it 10.

    Definitely recommended for lovers of VNs, and even those who don't but can keep an open mind. It's worth it, I promise.

    Definitely can't recommend to the "classic" (for a lack of a better term) gamers. Please, research first before giving in to the hype.

I have every version of this title available in English, and I can say that this is easily my favourite VN series (not that I've read a ton). It's highly recommended, even to people who aren't into anime games (since only one game in this collection even fits that description). Actually, this series appeals more to my fondness for Europe, its history and the stories some of its buildings could tell than any fondness I have for Japan and its media. In fact, there are times when it's easy to forget I'm reading a script that was translated from Japanese.

    That said, note that these are VNs through and through, with no real gameplay. The first game, and its prequel to an extent, are the only ones with choices. They only affect the story in the first game though, and even in that case, the alternate paths are all dead ends. The third game and the extra stories are all entirely kinetic. Be warned, as this kind of game isn't for everyone.

    That said, if you want a great story, you'll find it here. I'm not actually going to spoil any of the plot points, but suffice to say, I highly recommend it. It is a tragedy, so keep that in mind. I'll also say that there are two humps to the story that some people may have difficulty getting past, the first of which is the part of the game where it appears to be an anthology of sorts. However, once you're able to get far enough into the story, I'll just say that it's unforgettable.

    I'm impressed that this title managed a perfect Metascore of 100. I'm sad that it will never get the awards and recognition it deserves in the mainstream, but I'll take it being immortalized as the top Switch game.    … Expand

    This is absolutely one of the most impactful works I have ever experienced. It's hard to describe the story without spoiling it -- but I'll say that what makes this work special is the degree to which it explores human cruelty, revenge, hated, and forgiveness, especially the power that forgiveness has on the forgiver. It's a topic that has rarely been handled so well in any medium.

    The House in Fata Morgana is one of the benchmark masterpieces of its medium, and whether you've played your fair share of visual novels before or are completely new to this type of storytelling and just want to experience something different, it is worth every penny.

    Calling visual novels "games" comes with its own complicated debate, but Fata Morgana does indeed have choices and the possibility for multiple (including bad endings). So if that's your deciding factor on the matter, best to let you know upfront. Game play however, is not why this title is so highly regarded. As the story of the cursed mansion and your role within it unfolds, it is difficult not to be completely engrossed and emotionally enamored with its beautifully unsettling atmosphere, complicated characters that are slowly revealed piece by piece and re-contextualized with each new chapter, and a story that rivals the absolute best the "gothic haunted house" genre has to offer in literature and film. While Fata Morgana is ultimately concerned with exploring the depths of unspeakable, horrific tragedy, unlike many other stories that also aim to tear out your heartstrings, every event feels earned and unavoidable (like classic tragedy should). To say anymore about the direction it takes would be giving away too much.

    As far as the Switch edition is concerned, this remaster comes with both sequel follow-ups (Requiem for Innocence and Reincarnation) and well as additional side stories, epilogues, updated art work (especially its backgrounds), and bonus features. There is also a backdoor mode, so if you have read Fata Morgana before, but maybe not its follow-ups, you can easily skip around without needing to put away 20+ hours on a story you don't want to re-read right away.

    If you love good storytelling, go in knowing nothing. I’ve seen both hardcore visual novel fans and complete newcomers fall in love with this game and I promise its worth the jump.    … Expand

    The reason why a visual novel of this aperture must receive a perfect score is simply espoused by its deliverance of typical Lovecraftian, Gothic visual.

But no, that's not the only reason why you should delve yourself and get invested into a story: The House in Fata Morgana has you explore multiple allegories, themes, imageries, and paths to evoke the emotional appeal of a Greek hero/heroine in the legends.

    What may be unsettling for many users would be its format, traversing multiple routes may not be a satiable cup of tea for the average VN player but if you're familiar with mediums like Umineko already, then don't fret just immerse yourself and you'll be lost within the gaze of the abyss before you know it.

    The final element that makes FataMoru laudable would be its soundtrack. The criteria for soundtracks to be audible aren't simply itself but whatever sceneries it encapsulates: in this regard, Fata Morgana excels in splendor and the simulacra of the plot emanates rigorously with it.

    The House in Fata Morgana, if not the best VN of the decade, might as well stand by itself as the most enticing VN in the legends. Don't waste your time any further and get right into the train that is a millennium long journey.    … Expand

    But again, the story overall is good, the twists are interesting. Only hope the stories would have been more to the bloody point and concise, rather than stretching it for miles and miles. (yes reading an abridged version of this story would be really recommended)

    I would suggest this for 15 year olds. This isnt for the kids, and for the adults, I would suggest them to read the synopsis on wikipedia and not waste time.

    And if you've read visual novels before, and know there are usually such irritating conversations in them, then this could be a good visual novel after all.    … Expand

Only reason i tried this one was because it has 100/100 score and that's like extreme rarity. Of course anyone buying this, has to keep in mind that it has 100/100 score with only 4 reviews. This means that only 4 people out of 7.6 billion, think that this game is worth 100/100Not huge fan of visual novels, but sometimes i read them when i'm bored and they have somewhat interesting story.

This means that only 4 people out of 7.6 billion, think that this game is worth 100/100 score. There could be thousands who think that it's only worth 80/100 or 50/100. So it really should have more reviews to be fair. But either way, it wasn't that special or interesting. I was bored most of the time.… Expand

    This should not be on tops. Waste of time. It feels same like giving 10 score to calculator application.

    Go read a book if you like stuff like this. Why in God's name is it rated so high? Pathetic

    Imagine pretending that book is a video game, because you actually don't like real video games, but you wanna look cool, modern and trendy so you could say that you play video games too, but it's actually just virtual book. That's next level pathetic. How is it so hard to understand that gamers read books too. It's not like gamers hate books or something, that was never the point.

Point is that video games and books are different things okay? crazy, am i right? Giving 100/100 score to book on video game site is just absurd. If we start pretending that books are video games, i wanna get off this planet. I'm done.… Expand

    Boring as hell..Avoid..I didn't like it at all. Story was very boring and this game has very bad gameplay. Not recommending to actual gamers just to nintendo fans!!

    The game is bland, original, and derivative. Why it's top 4 of the greatest games of all time is absolutely absurd. The devs should be ashamed of making such a terrible effing game.

    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.
