The House in Fata Morgana is legitimately moving and for that reason should be reviewed highly. Very few (in my experience, no other) games are able to play to your emotions that well.

I don't exactly agree with calling it a good 'game', but...the medium they chose is what it is. I think ratings are entirely arbitrary to begin with, so even if something that doesn't quite fit the mold becomes a topic of conversation, it should be rated based on its merits. Its commonly understood that different genres are rated on different criteria: just as an easy example, nobody expects FPS games to have a good story as a primary consideration, and nobody expects the common AAA open world game that we are all familiar with today to have a completely bug free experience.

to that point just to drive it home, if you were playing a puzzle game and there were a bug where your piece just fell through the board, with any level of replicable frequency you would consider that completely unacceptable. but in todays AAA open world RPG/action game environment, if you get a bug where your character falls through the map thats just understood as a necessary symptom of ambition and handwaved away. I'm not making a judgement point on whether that's right or wrong, but it is the reality of how we review games in the modern era.

Given that we all agree that video games are things that you have some control over the outcome over, VNs are just always going to be included in that. I don't really see any future where they are separated, it doesn't make sense from any perspective
