Thijs The House in Fata Morgana Review

Mar 11, 2025
It's hard to say anything about this novel without plot spoilers. A completely unpredictable plot with a huge number of plot twists, a competent use of techniques that can only be used in the format of a visual novel or literature and these techniques work most effectively. Each door immerses you in completely different eras and atmospheres and demonstrates different characters, each of whom deserves a separate analysis, as do their stories. The game also has an absolutely amazing soundtrack, diverse in both genre and language of performance, each track 100% conveys exactly the mood and the essence that is embedded at a specific moment when this track sounds and these feelings do not disappear even after dozens of listenings. This novel makes a very strong impression, even after the full completion, there is still a lot of interesting things that you did not notice or could not understand in the full sense, and you will also find new moments that you could not see the first time. Bottom line: An incredible and unpredictable plot that will leave a huge impression for a long time. A strong, diverse and memorable cast of characters. An amazing soundtrack. The unusual background design is done in a somewhat abstract style, not everyone will like it, but this style has its own strong charm. Absolutely a great visual novel, and definitely one of the best and most thoughtful stories ever created.
