About The House in Fata Morgana
✦ AI summary
Navigate a mysterious mansion across four different time periods, uncovering tragic stories that may hold clues to your own forgotten identity. Each era reveals deeper mysteries and moral choices that challenge whether witnessing others' suffering can ever truly help you understand yourself.
You awaken in a decrepit old mansion.
A woman with eyes of jade stands before You, informing You that You are the Master of the house, and she Your Maid. However, You have no memories, no concept of self—or, indeed, any certainty that You are even alive.
The Maid invites You to join her on a journey through the mansion's lifeless halls, to behold the numerous tragedies that have befallen its residents. She suggests that among them, perhaps You will find some trace of Yourself.
Beyond the first door lies the year 1603.
It is an era of unparalleled beauty, where art and theatre flourish. Roses bloom abundantly in the garden where the inseparable Rhodes siblings play, and though they appear to be free of worry and strife... not everyone is content to see them happy.
Beyond the second door lies the year 1707.
In this era, the mansion lies in ruins, and a beast dwells within. He claims to yearn for a life of serenity, but it is not long before he yields to his innate savagery and a massacre ensues.
Beyond the third door lies the year 1869.
In this technologically advanced era, people are always on the move. The mansion's master is an ambitious businessman who has invested in the rail industry. However, his obsession with wealth and power leads him to neglect and mistreat his wife.
Beyond the fourth door lies the year 1099.
The Maid tells You that this is the final tale. In this era, You see a young man who claims to be cursed and a girl with white hair, called Giselle, who has been branded a witch and marked for death.
Having borne witness to these four tragedies, each set in a different time and place, You are now free to choose whether You wish to end Your story here... or press on.
But there are those who would say,
"You were able to bear them because they weren't your tragedies."

Due to moving irl, I had to put this off at the last chapter for.. 2 weeks lol. Finally I made time just to see this through and it's hard to put into words but it's just so.. beautifully written.. I don't know if it's the greatest story I've ever written but right after completing I would say yes, it's really really good.. it made me feel and think about things I probably never had felt or thought before. One of the rare medium that gave me literal chills at some point2 found this helpful
A game where every single character detail and aspect is important. Where the same story can be interpreted multiple different ways. And tell such a profound story.1 found this helpful
[b] [i] "Until our souls cross paths once more in the boundless sphere of fate." [/i] [/b] one of the best vns i've played that explored gothic tragedy phenomenally. while the misfortunes start out as shock factors, it eventually sits on you like a heavy weight, comforting in its constriction. you expect it, and yet it hurts just the same. one of the characters said that a lot of the tragedies only ever occurred because of the prejudice, ignorance, and culture of it's time period and that's what makes it more devastating, the knowledge that there was really no other path it could've went to. brilliant art and soundtrack, and the plot went to places i couldn't predict even when i tried. only criticism is the pacing dragged for a bit too long in the final segments, and for some reason the steam background recording feature doesn't work? you can't screenshot too. :/1 found this helpful
