Say it in Red | Episode 32: The House in Fata Morgana (Part 1 of 2)

Say It In Red

Good Morning. You're finally awake, aren't you? Yes, that's good. Hehe... we were worried, for a time, that you might sleep the whole week away. How glad we are now that you are here with us, within this manor, within this era, as we explore its halls and gather your stray and errant memories. Just make sure that as we travel, you never let go of our hands.
This week, Sara and Runa begin their adventure into The House in Fata Morgana (2016), a gothic visual novel that will take players through a mysterious manor, guided by an equally mysterious Maid, as you observe the tragedies that unfolded in its hallways over the centuries. In this first of two episodes, we open the first three doors of game and bear witness to the lives of the former occupants, their hopes and struggles, and their unfortunate ends. We begin in 17th century England, with the illustrious Rhodes family and its two flaxen-haired children, Mell and Nellie. We then open the door to the early 18th century on the coast of Europe's mainland, in an era when the manor lies abandoned and a Beast has become its master. From there, we greet the 19th century and venture into New York City where an ambitious man shuts his wife away and dedicates himself to the pursuit of wealth and power. Throughout each tale, the Maid appears to serve the household and its Master. Throughout each era, a mysterious White-Haired Girl arrives at the manor and invariably meets a tragic end. What will we find at the end of this journey, when we at last can remember our name... and hers.
