Let me make something clear: this one is difficult. If you don't open yourself enough to experience it fully, you may be bored with a slow pace and a sorrowful, historical surrounding. But from the other hand, if you are brave enough to follow this story with open heart, you'll suffer with its heroes. I don't exaggerate using the word "tragic" in the review's title, Fata Morgana uses every possible way to hurt its characters, and believe me, it hurts them deeply. That question was with me throughout the whole game – is it possible to make it any worse yet? And they had become obvious really soon – I had no idea how much worse. But after all of that, every happy event, even the smallest, starts to be like a breath of fresh air. Only to be followed by another tragedy... Because The House in Fata Morgana asks a very important question – could all that suffering be worth anything? To make it more serious (and by that more dramatic) it uses a whole palette of emotions to examine that. And Fata Morgana reminds us, that we'll all humans. Complicated, conflicted, broken, but with capacity for overcoming a lot and protecting important things for us, however difficult that may be. In my opinion, that's not only a masterpiece of VN medium, but in the same time a real gem of any kind of storytelling. Including amazing music, good visuals and some VN engine surprise, we have an amazing piece of art here. Just buy it and play, because it's worth it.
