Just beat it a few minutes ago. What a fantastic, beautiful game that was. I'm a huge fan of story games in general, and that was easily one of the best. I can't state enough just how superb it was across the board. If anyone is interested in the game at all, or just enjoys visual novels, I'd give it the highest recommendation possible. --- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuLC8xwj909sQrer5d8QUnw I make Fire Emblem videos.

Ive heard great things and am looking forward to playing it. From the little Ive gathered it seems like its more of a character driven VN than a plot driven one, is that the case? I prefer the latter, especially if theres a mystery element, but definitely plan to check it out regardless. --- THE SECRETARY OF ABSOLUTE DEFENSE ... Copied to Clipboard!

I was extremely invested in both the characters and the overarching plot. There are a lot of bigger mysteries to the game, especially if you go in as blind as possible. I wouldn't look anything up about it, because the game leaves you to figure a lot out, and there are some very satisfying mysteries throughout. --- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuLC8xwj909sQrer5d8QUnw I make Fire Emblem videos.

Arcanine2009 posted... but it's only a small handful of reviews. Not enough has played the game. Yeah, sadly, the high scores are a bit misleading just because of the low sample size. With that said, most people who play it love it, and I can definitely vouch that it deserves the scores it gets. It really is fantastic, and it deserves more recognition for sure. (FWIW, if you love ZE/AA, you'll likely love this as well, though it's more about reading than those. Still very good payoff for it.) dave_is_slick posted... Agreed.

I finished The House in Fata Morgana back in 2020. It's a fantastic game and one I recommend to anyone who likes a well written and emotional story. My only complaint is that the start is a bit slow but once the story gets going, you're in for something truly special. It also has a superb art style and a phenomenal soundtrack. I am super happy to own the limited edition with the soundtrack, poster, and art book. It's nice. --- His foundation lie in the holy mountain. Selah. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I'd honestly consider rebuying it physically if it was in stock for reasonable amounts, but as far as I can tell, it's sold out or has its price jacked up everywhere. I got it on Steam on sale, along with Requiem (which I haven't gotten to since my net has been awful for almost a month, what a lovely ISP I have), but sadly Reincarnation isn't available on Steam and I do kind of want to play that as well, and I believe that it's included with the physical editions on consoles. If nothing else, I guess I might end up watching a LP of it, but it's not quite the same, and I'm not positive if I'm willing to drop $40~ to just get it digitally again on consoles strictly for Reincarnation. --- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuLC8xwj909sQrer5d8QUnw I make Fire Emblem videos.

Yeah, I was extremely lucky when I bought the limited edition. It was cheap at the time compared to the current prices. Requiem is amazing. It greatly elevates some of the characters. You'll get a lot of enjoyment out of it when you do get to it. Reincarnation, while good and entertaining, definitely isn't worth dropping $40 on. I wasn't a fan of the art style change personally. It's probably fine to watch on YouTube. You won't be missing much in comparison to watching a LP of the main story or Requiem. Requiem and Reincarnation are pretty lengthy. You are about to experience a lot more content and story than you would initially expect. I wish I could go through both blind again. --- His foundation lie in the holy mountain. Selah. ...

I do own Requiem, at least (which is on Steam/I also bought on sale at the same time as the main game).

Turbam posted... That's a game I keep seeing pop up, and each time I tell myself I gotta check it out one of these days From my understanding: The Steam version is cheaper and goes on sale, but there's one side story that isn't available on Steam at all. However, it's apparently the worst one by far and doesn't seem super essential, so if you're fine skipping that or watching it in video form, you can get both FM and the good side story on a Steam sale for really cheap. I got the base game on sale for $12.49 on Steam, while the package is $40 on console and doesn't go on sale. The console version comes with both side stories, but it's pricier and I've never seen it go on sale a single time despite watching for it. Personally, if you're just curious about grabbing the main game, I'd get it on a Steam sale for much cheaper. If you think you might want all three stories, one of them isn't on Steam at all, so it might be worth getting the pricier console version in that case. --- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuLC8xwj909sQrer5d8QUnw I make Fire Emblem videos.

Finished Requiem for Innocence. That was downright fantastic, and was definitely worth visiting. It probably crushed me worse than the main game did at points, and I'm really glad that it exists, because it adds so much context and characterization for characters that needed it. Highly, highly recommend that, in addition to the base game. (Though obviously if anyone hasn't gotten the base game, I'd wait to play that before buying the side story, as the side story spoils a lot of big things from the base game as well) --- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuLC8xwj909sQrer5d8QUnw I make Fire Emblem videos.

I haven't read anything too niche, but some of the ones I liked were Higurashi/Umineko, Zero Escape, Steins;Gate etc In terms of gameplay, Steins;Gate is probably the closest. (Or Umineko, but I've never played that one) FM is pretty much pure novel with a few choices here and there. For the story and setting, it's a bit different than these, but tonally probably closest to SG as well. It takes itself very seriously and is really mature about its themes. There's not a lot of silly anime humor or anything and it doesn't really go off the rails with goofy sci-fi stuff like ZE can at times. It's a gothic mystery with heavy romance elements that are surprisingly well-written, and some horror elements. That's roughly the most that I can say without heavily spoiling it. I will say that, as someone who really likes VNs, Fata Morgana stood near the very top for me, and that's an opinion that I hear quite a bit. --- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuLC8xwj909sQrer5d8QUnw I make Fire Emblem videos.

Bought it yesterday because of this topic, just reached the second door and I'm intrigued. Looking forward to the rest. I'm going in completely blind and plan to keep it that way, but I am a bit curious how this game handles endings. Is there anything I should be aware of in order to get some "true" ending? I am making multiple saves so I can go back and pick some different options if needed. --- Not changing this sig until 250 people ask. Counter-236 ... Copied to Clipboard!
