About The House in Fata Morgana
The House in Fata Morgana places you in a decaying mansion where a jade‑eyed Maid greets you as the Master, though you lack memory or certainty of life. She guides you through four distinct doors, each opening to a different historical era, revealing tragedies that have befallen the house’s occupants.
Each era—1603, 1707, 1869, and 1099—offers a self‑contained story that explores themes of beauty, savagery, ambition, and curses. After witnessing all four, you decide whether to end your own tale or continue onward, reflecting on the weight of the tragedies you have observed.

Narrative Structure
The game unfolds as a series of four doorways, each leading to a separate time period with its own tragic storyline. The Maid frames each segment, inviting you to explore the mansion’s past while searching for a trace of yourself.
After completing the four narratives, the player is presented with a choice to conclude the story or press on, emphasizing personal agency within the predetermined tragedies.
- Consider taking notes on each era’s key events to better understand the overarching theme.
- Reflect on how the Maid’s commentary links the separate stories together.

Time Period Settings
Each door transports you to a distinct historical setting: 1603’s flourishing art scene, 1707’s ruined mansion with a beast, 1869’s industrial age focused on rail, and 1099’s medieval curse and witch trial.
These periods are presented with unique visual and narrative tones, highlighting contrasts between beauty, decay, ambition, and superstition.
- Observe how the environment reflects the era’s mood, such as roses in 1603 or industrial motifs in 1869.
- Notice recurring symbols that may tie the eras together.
