If you’ve talked to me about this game before, you already know how much I’ve loved the experience. The House in Fata Morgana is incredible. It being my first real introduction into visual novels, I can safely say that this is what got me into the genre in the first place, and what showed me how incredibly poignant and beautiful titles within this space can be.
I wasn’t really a fan of the visual novel genre before playing this title. I had played through 999 with a group of friends beforehand, but apart from that I had no experience with the genre whatsoever. The House in Fata Morgana changed that. Within the span of a year, I went from knowing little about visual novels to the medium becoming one of my favorite video game genres, and that’s all thanks to my time with The House in Fata Morgana. I think it’s safe to say that if you’re at all curious about visual novels, The House in Fata Morgana is the best starting point you could possibly ask for.
I can’t stress enough just how The House in Fata Morgana resonated with me. This title excels with its queer representation, in a way that feels authentic and genuine. Out of every video game I’ve played so far, nothing has ever made me feel as seen and represented as this game does.
I won’t say too much regarding the narrative of The House in Fata Morgana. I think it’s best to go into this game as blindly as possible, but I do hope what I’ve said thus far has at least convinced you to give this game a fair chance. There is one thing that I will say, however.
Recently, with a group of friends, I reread The House in Fata Morgana for the second time. And after having read through other visual novels such as Higurashi and Umineko, I’m a little less enamored with this title than I was the first time I had read it through. That’s not to say that I think this game is now bad having read other visual novels, just that it isn’t as far up in my top 10 games as it once was. With that said however, The House in Fata Morgana is still easily one of my favorite games of all time, and easily a must play.
This game is practically a religious experience. I implore you, even if you aren’t currently a massive fan of the visual novel genre, to check this title out. The House in Fata Morgana is not something you’ll want to skip.
