1「THE HOUSE IN FATA MORGANA」- Zeer's Correspondence

Trying a new, smaller way to get a peep of my thoughts about media out without having to write a long post, welcome to the first Zeer's Correspondence. Dear Reader,

I bought this game a month ago but I have not finished it yet, not for lack of quality, no, but for an abundance of it. Since I cannot think of a better term, I am writhing horrified through the game, afraid of what is in store after experiencing first hand… how much it can stir unpleasant feelings in me. I have just passed the first instance of Michel and the White Haired Girl, the one that comes Jacopo and his whole maddening door, and while that one surely disquieted me… Door two, or rather the one with the beast, tore me up inside so badly I had to take a break from it all. Pardon my French but Holy shit, that whole series of events, it really affected me in a way I did not expect. It was not as if it was wholly unexpected, I did pick up on the fact we had two stories concurrently running, and of course how they had to converge somehow. But I was left speechless, because the game fooled me in such a diabolical way, it made me think the tragedy would be softer than it was. What a damn fool I was! And the visuals, the word choice, the whole presentation… twas truly a brutal scene. My chest was hurting like I was the one being cut to death, goddamn. Seriously, my mind was all over the place after that, it was written so expertly and fucking evil. It made me care then broke me down in just a few hours. There are some things that take hundreds of hours and they cannot even evince that, indeed, it was exceptional— in hindsight— but so very painful in the moment. Needless to say, from that point onward, as if Mell and Nell’s story was not warning enough, I was cognizant of the true horror which the story can loose upon its reader. I am not finished with this game, not because it is bad, or that I do not care to give it a fair shake… I am not finished with this game because I do not think my mind will be able to take an uninterrupted binge of it. But as it is, my thoughts on it are made of such high material, and I hope that the sheer quality of it will persist until the end.


Sincerely Yours,

Zeer
