In this review I will not be trying to dissect the story of a House in Fata Morgana due to its scope and complexity however I still would like air my thoughts about it.

The House in Fata Morgana is a beautifully tragic story about love, hatred, regret, and forgiveness. The non-linear structure in which this story is told is a notable point of genius, as your perception of certain events or characters drastically shift in unexpected ways as the story develops. A lot of stories often fall into the trap of making characters too faultless or likeable and I think The House in Fata Morgana straddles the line perfectly, by writing characters that have depth and seem genuine. Furthermore, I like how during the story, we often swap perspectives, which again alters our perception of these characters, allowing us to come to empathise with each and every one of them no matter how irredeemable they originally appeared.

The ‘villain’ in The House in Fata Morgana is as equally unique as its plot, both of which I unfortunately can’t discuss without ruining the story. I can however talk about the music! The soundtrack here is extremely effective in creating the atmosphere of this mansion when our view of its interior is so limited. This is due to great compositions, a suitably gothic choice of instrumentation and the amazingly spectral quality of the vocals in these tracks. Furthermore, the way the soundtrack is utilised to better convey the tone during key scenes in absence of voice acting is genius. This is especially evident in its most haunting and memorable moments.

In conclusion, The House in Fata Morgana is a narrative triumph and culminates in a truly beautiful and unforgettable way, and I believe it has left a lasting impression on me as it for has for many others.
