  The House in Fata Morgana is over 40 hours long, and in those 40 hours, you'll maybe get to make about three decisions. It is a visual novel in the strictest sense of the word, and you must be prepared for that going in. But with a fantastic, original, slow-burn story about love, loss, hurt, forgiveness, and recovery, it's one of the best visual novels out there — and your patience will be paid off in the end.

  Overall though, I can see why The House in Fata Morgana: Dreams of the Revenants Edition was so well received by visual novel enthusiasts. Clearly a lot of intelligence and creativity has gone into crafting the game and it will absolutely pay off for fans of the genre.

  It is impressive how little time it takes to understand the motives and dreams of the Rose Manor residents, even when they fall to their lowest extent. The storytelling, art style, and music harmonizes its themes of vintage times and freely mold each scene from childish hope to shock and terror.

  The House in Fata Morgana succeeds on almost every count and does so with such an exceptional flair that it’s surprising this was one of developer Novectale’s first releases. 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.

  The House in Fata Morgana: Dreams of the Revenants Edition is worth it not only for new players, but also fans of the original game on PC because it has enough content to justify getting the new edition. Players who have already played the base game, but only want the new content can use a nifty back door feature to unlock everything as well. The House in Fata Morgana is a story I won’t be forgetting for a long time. I’ve not stopped listening to the soundtrack ever since I finished the true ending and only want more visual novel fans to experience this.

  This one was an exhausting game. It was an incredible journey, and told so much about betrayal, forgiveness, hate and memory. There were a lot of surprises, save for the “non surprise” that I mentioned earlier.
