A surprisingly niche choice for a remaster release, these 2 adventures had been on my wish list to try since the original release on DS & Wii

Recollection is an impressive upgrade to the original DS game, feeling more like a full remake than remaster. It does feel a touch more generic on Switch - with a few DS specific puzzles replaced.

The sequel, fares a little worse in the package - fighting a slower pace and seemingly less puzzle focused game. Although released on better hardware, the larger outdoor areas have not aged as well as the mansion from the first game.

Overall, it’s nice to have both games available on a modern console.

House in Fata Morgana often appears on many best visual novel lists, praised for its narrative and writing

Being a fan of more adventure infused VN’s (Ace attorney & Danganronpa, etc) - The House in Fata Morgana is more truly a novel, with limited dialog options and interaction throughout its run time.

Narratively, house is data Morgana is truly twisted and affecting - despite running out a little bit of steam in its final act

An interesting blend of non traditional storytelling, deduction puzzles & shelf organisation.

Strange Horticulture is captivating enough that a completed it in just 2 sittings, but can admit the rather “still” gameplay and visuals may not impress all

Playing on Switch also felt a little cumbersome, a mouse and keyboard is probably ideal (and a larger screen for the font!)
