So my project should be not considered as complete failure because 5 years were not passed yet?
 
 

I mean you want to make a book from VN, If there is complex flags, like:
show text
flagA+1
show text
flagb+1
if flagb=30 show textA else show textB
it would be not a book, but a bunch of barely connected text lines.

Most of VNs I like are short and medium size. When it is long it usually have lot of parts which I want to throw out, as it does not really add anything to story. So I am more fan of Urobuchi writing, when most of character development is done through action, not through their useless blather (which takes 5 hours or more in whole VN).. Just most of VN writers are weak in terms of story composition and meaningful dialogues, this why we usually get opinions like "I like this and that, but overall story is weak"... That's why actually we even get genres like "moege" and "charage". Imagine that in real novel - I doubt anyone would be able to read 3000 pages of no plot, random sex scenes and chatter about "kawaii" things (well, even in Twilight there is more story, than in your typical charage).

This would be a bunch of unreadable mess if you parse something complicated with lot of flags, like Remember11.

Good writing? In translated VN? Really?

I spoke with you, after I replayed VLR, remember how much stupidness were there? So never try to replay it, it is even worse (imo).
By me any story game would be ruined if you reread it - as you will know the grand finale and all what is between you and epic would be considered as "dragging too slow". 

I finished demo, and it was quite long, actually. Overall - it is surprisingly good, I definitely look forward for next week release.
First, about backgrounds - actually the game gfx is quite surreal, and photos are not just "photos", but were processed the way I would not really tell if this was photo or a drawing. So it did not bothered me the way it was in Tsukihime or in Higurashi, it blended with sprites quite good further in the story.

About sprites - I do not know, why you think they are ugly, I liked them.
But back to the story, what is good and why. There are two scenarios in demo, so I could only base my opinion on them. 
Basically premise is that you are master of the house (more like castle), at least Maid insists that you are, but you cannot remember anything. To deal with this amnesia Maid decided to show you some episodes, related to house, to make you remember something... But as this house is cursed - you got the idea what stories would be? Prepare for twisted tragedies, gruesome murders, insanity and inner ways of human nature.
This demo somehow reminded me Valkyrie Profile:Lenneth stories, which all ended in death. Here it is more like tragedy, but it is really heavy - well, this should be expected from a gothic tales.
First story is about... love in the noble society, I guess? Androgynous-looking boy Mell is coming of age, meet a strange girl and fell for her, but as she is of different social state and moreover - he have a little sister Nellie, with whom he was unseparable since childhood... Probably would be a happy ending?
Then second story... That's is really quite graphical, not like you will see lot of corpses on the screen, but intense text and sound effects could make you shiver. A bit disturbing, but as it is told in omake, this is the most violent story, so do not expect it to go Kara no Shoujo style. Story is somewhat like perversed "Beauty and the Beast", mixed with "Phantom of the Opera" (the book I mean, not the musical). A beast somehow manages to become master of the house, and, I forgot to mention - house grants his master's wishes. So insane beast who only wants bloodshed gets what he wants. But then two girls come to our sight - one was blind and seek shelter in the house, other was searching for her belowed, killed by the beast... You will see the conclusion yourself
This concludes the demo, but ritobito wrote a review for a whole game, so you can check his views - he seems sort of fan of this game, at least I never before saw him writing articles about games he edited  http://blog.mangagamer.org/2016/05/06/a-look-into-the-house-in-fata-morgana/#more-12791
I would like to see, how they are supposed to tie in all the stories, including beast and wheeping whelp Mell. Should be fun  

So, I will definitely read full version. Game is somewhat unique, at least I never read anything like this in VNs (probably only old titles like Nocturnal Illusion and Divi-Dead had similar vibes, but they were less depressing), so I believe ratings are trustworthy. Of course, if you are not in the mood for the above, it would not get any big impact - as you probably drop the game in first chapter. But I would recommend to give game a try, as indeed it was something else.

VN is nice, I am reading demo right now, and I like it.
Good easy to read text, creepy atmosphere of mysterious old castle, actually quite unique sprite graphics (alas resulted in male character look too girly). So will tell, what I think after I finish the demo, but so far very good vibes from this one.

You must put a big SPOILER SPOILER alert, as you spoiled everything for anyone who did not played the game. Do it ASAP, before you spoiled one of the few decent plot twists to someone who did not played it yet.
This is not a review at all, this is more like plot and character analysis.

Crying Western will be disappointed with this thread.

@bigfatround0 okay, but again, is there anything really interesting apart speaking with spanish people? Like VN/manga/anime is main benefit for lot of people to learn japanese. I have no plans to live in US. And seems only spanish-speaking country I would probably visit is Chile, which could probably not happen at all.

But I already know english and I do not want either japanese or chinese, why suggest them?
And give some reasons for me, man. I do not want just "learn XXX language", as I want to understand benefits of doing that.

Other routes are just a stupid mumbling along with sex scenes, really. Ririko route is a 3 hours or infinite mockery of protag and stupidity. Other girls are not much better, infinite cooking works vs infinite painting works. Anyway, translation did not look like a machine (having in mind tons of typos there), but very literal, that's for sure. But for that "story" which happen there - no translation would make it shine, as it is triumph of repetiveness and VN tropes, you will be bored to hell no matter what.
So, as they will release all-age version, I believe it would be version everyone saw on Xbox360/PS3, and it already have Houzuki route as integral part of the game. No point in FD at all.

Euphoria, sometimes brutal, sometimes disgusting, sometimes intriguing and suspenseful. What a weird game. Steel your stomach and be open minded when approaching this one. 
I'm curious what you all thought of the review, it's the first one I've ever written. 

1. Do not like long flights
2. Have too few time (max 1 week) of free time a year
3. Generally like to see old gothic architecture and nature like wast savannah, tall mountains (obv when mountaineering), green forests...
4. Because I have very short period to enjoy vacation - this have to be done fast, so I do not have time to mind bed covers  But travels do exaust me and I am very glad to see my olde home again. Probably one of the best things is that "homecoming" feel.

Indeed, I second that. Saya no Uta is horror love story, love is the core and love is the drive of the story. I would even say nothing would exist in it without love.

Do not make these ideas. vndb have an API, which he should use. Scraping the site is ultra-bad idea, both for site and for him.

Most VN is perfect example how NOT to get a GF. H-scenes is a ridiculous mess, which you should avoid at any cost in real life - most of tropes used in VNs make me laugh at anyone who expect anything similar in real life and pity for his GF, when he will start tearing her apart right away like novels suggest you (and expecting she will transform in an experienced whore in a minute after).

That 3D cell-shaded graphics is ugly as hell. Spike Chunsoft exceeded all expectations of ugliness.
 

Possible just run with AppLocale/Locale Emulator.
