Premise:
Fata Morgana is a gothic suspense tale set in a cursed mansion. The overall story spans across a millennium. An amnesiac spirit awakens in the mansion and is greeted by a maid who seems to know the spirit and calls it her master. And both of them go through the past of the mansion in an attempt to recover the memories of the spirit.
Review:
Fata Morgana starts off with 4 almost completely different stories that have very little connections with each other and are set in very different times of the mansion. At first it may seem like an anthological series of stories but all of the different stories will get connected to an unified plot over the later half of the narrative. It is really fascinating to see how the novel manages to intertwine the different stories and characters together with each other and the mansion.
Fata Morgana deals with several heavy themes such as tragedy, misfortune, racism, oppression, abuse, love, relationships, loneliness etc. It is a story that tackles various sensitive topics that people generally refrain from discussing.
I think the characters of Fata Morgana are written to almost perfection. All of them are given enough context for the consumer to feel emotions toward. When Fata Morgana hits its high points especially character moments, it is really hard to not feel any kind of emotion towards them. Almost all of the characters are multifaceted complex characters with defining personality traits, proper background and growth.
There were no visible plot holes to the story at least from my perspective, everything was well explained and delivered to the consumer. The dialogues are also intelligently written.
The soundtracks of the game are perfection. Almost all of the soundtracks in the game are voiced.
In conclusion let me say that, this game and its narrative is easily one of the best fictional experiences of my life and I highly recommend it to people who have become interested in the game after reading the review.
Personal Rating: 10/10
