Lambda Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 This may sound like an odd question, but how much horror is in the House in Fata Morgana? I'm interested cause everyone's saying it's really good, but I'm super not good with horror (I'm not into it, but it also wrecks me for a while afterwards orz - to give an idea, the second arc of Higruashi in the anime kept me up a few nights afterwards, and the 6th arc of Umineko went a little far for me too. I am a weakling.). I'll have to look into if other games are interesting or not... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm about 99% sure I won't like it, but I feel it is necessary to cover all my bases when a VN is universally chanted as the second coming of Christ.

It's really Gothic and tonally feels more like a cross between Shakespeare and Poe than anything. It's not really scary at all, it just has a really somber tone and can be very depressing, which is only amplified by the (gorgeous) music and thick atmosphere. It's not necessarily depressing in the same way a Key work would be, it feels more utsuge and when/if it pulls tears it isn't necessarily because it was trying/being manipulative so much as what's happening is sort of just tragic and miserable, haha.

Okay, so reading it is closer to Frankenstein or Dracula? Cause I could deal with those. And I can take depressing stories so long as I'm pulled in and it's not overflowing with angst. Thanks! akaritan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darklord Rooke Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Can we please not turn this into yet another opportunity to scream 'Buy Fata Morgana' at people?

Silvz Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Fata Morgana is not scary, if that is what you are wanting to know. Horror =/= scares. It is pretty depressing, however, since most of the characters' stories begin in sad and end in suffering. But I think the way the game deals with everything makes everything worth it by the end.

But the things humans do to each other are traumatic, incredibly cruel, and as such it's quite likely to keep you up at night if your sensitivity to horror goes beyond blood and gravely misplaced limbs. 8 hours ago, Mr Poltroon said: In addition to this good fellow's question, how sad and or depressing is it? I'm about 99% sure I won't like it, but I feel it is necessary to cover all my bases when a VN is universally chanted as the second coming of Christ. Its overall tone is quite possibly the most somber and sad in any localized or translated VN. It has an incredibly oppressive atmosphere at times, and seeing the gravity of its subject matter, Fata Morgana not going overboard and sounding comical or angsty throughout is a miracle (or yet another indicator that THIFM is a masterpiece ). 7 hours ago, Darklord Rooke said: Can we please not turn this into yet another opportunity to scream 'Buy Fata Morgana' at people?

So please PM me if you have any further questions about Fata Morgana. Nandemonai 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Narcosis Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Fata Morgana is good, but the ammount of lambient fanboyism around it makes me cringe That said, 7 Days to Die is on sale, too. Grab it, it's the best sandbox, team-oriented survival horror game out on the market atm... aside from The Long Dark, but 7dtd already feels far more finished than TLD ever was.

solidbatman Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 I've basically sat this sale out. The two games I really want are God Eater 2 and Assassins Creed 2. $25 and $20 (Ass 2 isnt on sale) so yeah, not much for me this time.

Some good ones include; Sword of Islam, Legacy of Rome, Way of Life, and Reapers Due. Avoid Conclave and Sunset Invasion. Rajas of India and Horse Lords are only if you want to play Nomadic or in India. If you want earlier start dates, Charlemagne and the Old Gods both move the start date back to pre- 1066 (700's and 800's respectively).

I'm really tempted, but atm I have no idea if I'll enjoy the game. If I become a fan, I'm gonna grab all the (meaningful) DLC I can :3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darklord Rooke Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Heh loaded up the game, accidentally clicked 'Spanish' for language, then watched as it proceeded to crash over and over again on startup anyway (might have something to do with text sizes.) Will have to fiddle with things to stop it from crashing, then find out how to get it back into English, lol. I'll save that for another day, I've got no energy tonight.
