Describing The House in Fata Morgana as "entertaining" isn't exactly accurate, as it's a much more introspective experience than its contemporaries. In that regard, more visual novels should take a page from Novectacle's book — The House in Fata Morgana eschews genre tropes in favor of a style of experimentation that is deeply literary, and the result is incredibly refreshing.

It may have taken its sweet time to finally arrive in English, but now that it’s here, you absolutely owe it to yourself to play The House of Fata Morgana.

"¡Que es un juego!" gritaron la muchedumbre de fans intentando convencer de que el emperador no estaba desnudo. El estilo visual y la banda sonora acompañan a este título que tiene la capacidad de conmover aunque su argumento tire a veces de cosmovisiones demasiado quijotescas. Una obra de narración puede ser excelente y fallar en su adecuación al medio, considero que esta VN no explota al máximo las posibilidades estético-narrativo-musicales de las VN, incluyendo la implicación del jugador. Es una historia pasiva que se puede resumir en menos contenido y que no funciona plenamente como sistema de entretenimiento sino como intención de exaltar el género a unas dimensiones que le sientan mejor al papel escrito. En PC, por dimensiones y cómo se lee, sin alteraciones dentro del medio visual, la experiencia es tosca, por mucho que se pueda defender la calidad gótico-épica de su trama.

The House in Fata Morgana поразила меня своим сюжетом, проработкой отдельных элементов, атмосферой и посылом.

The House in Fata Morgana is a visual novel type game. The only thing you will do is reading through the story and sometimes making more or less important choices. As I remember there are 7 normal endings and 1 true end. You appear in a dark mansion you don't recognize. At all you don't recognize anything, you don't remember who you are and even how you look like. Suddenly mysterious maid comes up to show you a few stories of the mansion. Story is truly amazing. It tells you about love, despair, fear and much more. After completing the game you will understand that nothing is black and white and everything is completely different depending on a perspective. Art is pretty and climatic, but the music is really gorgeous. The Spanish, original soundtrack is the best I've ever heard. You will not find other game with such OST. 10/10 If you are not a fan of visual novels then it doesn't matter. This game is more like a book with beautiful songs playing in the background. Everyone sometimes reads a book, right?

A visual novel that is as much an audio experience as it is a visual one. The art is beautiful, and the story is crafted in such a way that it leaves no stones unturned.
