Maybe I'll try the demo later, but I'm interested in the giveaway.
You're doing God's work OniBaka. 6 copies is very generous of you!
To everyone else The House in Fata Morgana is indeed amazing. The story is in every sense of the word gripping, and it doesn't let go until it's finished. If you are looking for a great story, please give this game a go, worth full price and then some. It's also been on sale a couple of times and will probably go on sale at the next Steam Sales in about a month.

Btw - OniBaka you write perfectly fine, don't kid yourself.

I reckon you should give the demo a try just to see what you're getting into about visual novels.
Definitely interested in a copy. Always quietly browse the VN thread and people have nothing but good things to say about it.
I would try the demo but when it comes to story stuff I always like to have everything ready so I can go through it instead of waiting or being left on a cliff hanger.
Also why aren't you picking up Tekken 7?

To fund these copies, though I probably could still afford it.

Second door is longer than the first and it took me 33 hours to get through the whole game.

This has been on my list for a bit and I would be real interested in snagging a copy! Awesome of you to do this and put the spotlight of what sounds like a mostly hidden gem.

Interested, thanks! 
Demo impressions:
I just saved at the beginning of the second door. I figured the demo would stop before that, so I'm curious how much farther it goes.
As far as the first door is concerned,
Looking forward to the second door!

I had a passing thought that the sibling's relationship could go that way, but didn't think it'd actually go through with it. The twist with the white haired girl being a half-sister was good, I didn't expect that. I liked how well that all fit together. And the question of what the maid and master are adds some engaging mystery.
Damn OP, this is a pretty cool move! Count me in!
I got engrossed in finishing the demo, I should have been sleeping an hour ago haha. I have some theories about the underlying premise of the game that will have to wait, but here are some of my impressions:
-I really wasn't a fan of the art at first, but it's started to grow on me.
-I read a couple of you are big fans of the music, but honestly, I found it really distracting, in kind of a grating way. I'd probably play it muted :/
-It's fun playing it windowed so that at the top, where it lists the program name, you can see the name of the current scene - some of them are pretty good. I glanced up once and saw "The fruit putrefies into a bloody mire", they went the whole nine yards to keep the tone of the game everywhere lol
-Content-wise, this is some pretty heavy stuff. It's like Poe wrote a fairy tale and had someone draw pictures, really interesting stuff. It could be I'm just desensitized by now, but if the first two chapters are indicative of the rest of the narrative, I don't really know what's got people so haunted and in tears, but I guess I'll just have to see.
If I never read the word "flaxen" again it'll be too soon.

I've heard a lot of people raving about this game so I'm definitely interested.
This is really cool of you OP, I'm definitely interested.
Been on a real visual novel/adventure game binge recently, although I usually tend to go for shorter and free-er versions:
On Seeing The 100% Perfect Girl One Beautiful April Morning
Rose In Bloom
Crystal Confines
Date Or Die (Prologue)
Genie
In The Heart Of The Islands, The Red Earth (Ang Pulang Lupa)
Rhapsody On A Killswitch
Murdercide 2017
Plus 999 and Virtue's Last Reward, so I'm sure I'd like House of Fata Morgana if it's anything like those.

I've heard from many people on the main VN threads on here that this game is amazing. Very interested to play it

Oh it's definitely not bad, but it does make it hard for me to focus on reading.
I agree with some of the music at the beginning since I had the volume high but later on it will get to you emotionally. So definitely don't mute it.
Finished up the demo today. I found the music growing on me; it sets the atmosphere so well. Mogera makes good use of my subwoofer when creating that "pressure" effect . Gotta love the lyrics to Tarantula. The art is all great too. I'm curious how well the chapters will be tied together later.

I'm a huge fan of Tarantula. Does anyone know if this is a specific genre of piano music that I can find more of?Finished up the demo today. I found the music growing on me; it sets the atmosphere so well. Mogera makes good use of my subwoofer when creating that "pressure" effect
Demo wise I think The house in fata morgana music is my favorite. The one that plays right at the beginning.
I was interested in psycho pass, not that great huh?

It's a pretty different breed of VN compared to those FWIW. This is more traditional in that it's basically a novel with slides of images with the occasional choice, while those that you've listed are more interactive.
That's really interesting I never thought it could be distracting.
It's only a distraction for me personally if I understand the language in the music and what I'm reading.
Just door 1 I felt some music was a bit distracting but I had headphones on and volume up pretty loud.

Yeah I've only played door 1 & 2 so far but door 2's music was much improved.

Door 1 is really the most divisive one in terms of quality, I still greatly enjoyed it but I can't deny that the quality after that skyrockets (somehow- I'd say that the Door 1 music is unique in its own right.)
