“玩视觉小说这么久了,特别是日gal最让我忍受不了的就是它的废话文学,大量的车轱辘话来回讲极其影响阅读体验,而《海市蜃楼之馆》的文本则精简干练、毫不拖沓。它整体的故事采用类似于大家熟知的早期漫客小说绘里的《哑舍》、《浮生物语》等分段式叙事,即主线的发展由多个小故事开展。约五六万字叙述一个小故事至完结,而每个故事也有各自的高潮点,不至于让玩家快速进入阅读疲劳阶段。同时,文章的叙事角度也非常有意思……”

Reviews

“This is simply a must-play visual novel, emotionally devastating as it is, but the reward is worth the tears.”
5/5 – oprainfall

“When it comes right down to it, The House in Fata Morgana is an epic love story but one which feels far closer to Shakespeare than a dating sim. MangaGamer succeeded in their herculean task of translating this genre-hopping tale with tremendous care and respect, which is more than could be said for some other publishers had they gained hold of the game.”
4.5/5 – Hardcore Gamer

About This Game

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."
