The House in Fata Morgana isn't your typical anime waifu VN. The art is distinctly removed from the bug eyed anime style common in VN's and adopts a more western artstyle. The music, while a bit repetitive, often has a chant or other vocal component that helps it linger in the corner of your mind's eye while you read through the story.


Speaking of the story, this is one hell of a story. It's difficult to describe why it's good without spoiling things. One thing it does incredibly well is take information that you were given before and enhance it with the introduction of the next plot point. The story can get quite heavy at times and I don't just mean "omg so cray and grimdark" type of heavy. I'm talking about the kind of stuff where you just lean back, look away from the screen, and think to yourself "♥♥♥♥".


Honestly, prior to reading Fata Morgana, I had written off VN's as an inferior medium to other games due to the lack of interactivity. I'm surprised to say that a kinetic novel of all things managed to change my mind. While not the best piece of literature I've ever read, it definitely stands out from other stories in games and books alike.
