Changed the deadline to 3rd June and 10 copies available
Thanks to MangaGamer's awesome support, they have provided me steam keys so I won't have to go through the steam gifting process.
Hey all, this is my first proper thread so I hope youll forgive the way I write.
I have beaten this game recently and I must say it really got to me with the amazing writing and characters, constantly going through waves of emotions on events happening throughout the game. I must admit this is the most I have ever cried in the game. For those of you who dont know this game is a Visual Novel with lots of reading (roughly 30 hours) so if thats not your thing then it will probably not be for you.
Since Im not really good at write ups I figured I can use Funyarinpas from reddit. Full write up here.
The game has been out for a year now with barely any recognition despite having 142 reviews on steam with no negatives and being a masterpiece so I figured Ill do a giveaway so more people can experience this amazing story and create some awareness in Gaf.
I have 10 copies I can gift on steam (using my tekken 7 money ) and there are 2 ways to enter!
Either play the demo here thats on the Manga Gamer blog post and post your impressions here.Thanks to Lumination you can actually keep the demo's save and transfer it over to the full game.
Or for those who dont have time to play the demo just post here saying youre interested.
Ill split the copies so 5 goes to those who played the demo and the rest are for those that just posted without playing the demo.
Deadline is 3rd of June, I've made it long so it would give people plenty of time to try the demo.
I never thought Ill do this but this game is just too great to be ignored. Below are some quotes I took from the OT which you can post your impressions if you get the full game.

Fata Morgana is one of those works of art that roll around every other year, one of the master works of the genre, one of those immaculately done paintings that are never hanged on a wall befitting their excellence and beauty. It's a testament to many things as a visual novel: It shows us how a VN does not need the slightest inkling of Japanese culture in it to be a masterpiece of the genre; how the art, music and prose can mesh together to form a magnificent crescendo of literary beauty, how one can craft a story so poignant that every single person -from the happiest to the most sorrowful- can relate to it in some manner; most importantly of all, how one can prevail over unrelenting abuse and torment.

The demo's save file can be copied into Steam's save directory so people can continue their game. It also retroactively unlocks achievements.
The save data is stored in the Windows appdata directory. For XP, that would be:
Cocuments and Settings<user name>Application DataMangaGamer
For Vista and newer, that would be:
C:Users<user name>AppDataRoamingMangaGamer
Copy all the contents of the directory "The House in Fata Morgana Demo" to a directory named "The House in Fata Morgana", and it should let you pick up from where you left off. The game creates an auto-save at the choice near the end of chapter 2, which you can use to get to chapter 3 fairly quickly.
Note that the game saves the content of the title bar, so when you load a demo save, it will say "The House in Fata Morgana (Demo) - <whatever>", but that'll fix itself as soon as you get to a new scene.

I just wrapped up Chapter 2 and I'm absolutely loving my time with the game. The art and music is so good.
I just finished it, this was an excellent visual novel. Chapter 7 was probably the emotional peak of it for me, but it ended in a really satisfying way. Great music, art, very strong characterization and thematic work, I hope more people end up playing this.
Y'know what? Fuck it, I'm in.
Just finished the game and all its endings. Wow, this was a ride I was not expecting. This is surely one of the best visual novels I've ever played, never once becoming dull or uninteresting. I don't have a single complaint about it. When the credits ended, oh man! Chills down my spine! All in all, one of the best recommendations I've ever taken in this life.
Just finished.
Fantastic. What a wonderful game. Visceral, emotional, compelling -- it hits all the notes and more. I dearly wish for more VNs like this in the future. It's opened a hole in my heart that will not be easily filled.
I know I've said it a lot in the this thread, but the soundtrack is incredible. There is no way I can listen to this and not break out into a teary smile.
Thanks for the thread, OP. I hope I'll be able to introduce this game to as many people as You have.
Not gonna be a long post since most people have already echoed my thoughts in previous posts.
However, this probably the best VN Novel I've ever had the pleasure of the reading.
I doubt most VN's that I'll read in the future will compare.
