For lack of a better way to phrase this, I don't think Fata Morgana is weeb enough to achieve the height of popularity that other big VNs have achieved. The art style isn't for everyone and it deals with way different themes than other works that the anime fanbase is used to do. It'll also never get an anime or anything like that.

This was a really fun topic to read through! Always fun to see someone get into a game you care about. Congratulations on making probably 95% of the Fata Morgana memes on the entire internet.

You're exactly right. Upon first glance, there's no way it reads as weeb enough. The content shares elements with dark and elegant anime and manga [Kaori Yuki's Cain Saga/Godchild series comes to mind], but that's never the blockbuster popular stuff. I'm sad to hear the art style would be a turnoff - I'm used to hearing that about One Piece, or the characters' noses in Escaflowne. 'Everyone being too pretty' sounds like a great problem to have, but you're right.

I'll continue to writeup the Prologue and Backstage sections, and probably throw the occasional meme or piece of fan art in here to keep it kickin' until the Switch release.

Questions for everyone: How did you hear about House in Fata Morgana? Do you own it already and/or will you be buying the Switch release?

You might have read this in the OP, but I heard about it from @UshiromiyaEva writing that listening to the OST was bringing the tears.
I'm still pondering the CE version of the Switch release, and feeling far more favorable about it now that I've finished the first game. I have a couple more days to get that sorted.
