That looks really neat! I love that they add a few bells and whistles on top of the game itself so that it's not just a physical print of an otherwise digital-only game. A part of me wishes that I had jumped on the Switch version of Dust: An Elysian Tail, but I had already gotten an Indie Box of a very similar collection. The only thing that's different is that the Indie Box didn't come with the mini artbook as seen here:

A part of me wishes that I had jumped on the Switch version of Dust: An Elysian Tail, but I had already gotten an Indie Box of a very similar collection. The only thing that's different is that the Indie Box didn't come with the mini artbook as seen here: That collector's edition looks really neat too. I don't know if I'll make a habit of ordering from Limited Run very often, mostly because it's expensive, especially with the shipping, and all sales are final with no refunds or returns. That and I really need to be a fan of a game to even want to spring for a limited physical release of that caliber, let alone the collector's edition. If I see physical releases of indie titles in stores I often snap them up even though those are clearly far less limited (and I don't think Limited Run games distributes games to stores). Limited Run has some pretty neat releases though. For example, I've noticed that retro and retro-inspired titles such as older games that get modern re-releases, newer sequels or even some indie titles that take inspiration from older games sometimes get physical releases that come in some era-specific cases that mimic ones from a certain era, such as looking like PS1 or N64 cases/carts. The set I got is actually a collector's edition. There was a release of just the game on both PS4 and Vita, with I think 2000 PS4 copies and 2500 Vita copies. So, the physical game itself is far more common (though still ultra-rare), as between the 1000 PS4 collector's editions and the 1000 Vita ones, that's about 3000 and 3500 physical copies of each version of the game respectively. There were also around 300 (I think) "Mega-bundles" for people who must be affluent that included the collector's editions of everything being sold that day, which was both collector's editions (PS4/Vita) and a VN called London Mystery Detective along with its soundtrack (which was being sold both individually and in a game/soundtrack bundle) that I think is also a Vita title. I'm not sure whether those are extra copies or if they're taken from the stock of individual copies. Either way I have something quite rare. Long story short though, I could have just ordered a physical copy of the game and you now know what it looks like. It's possible the poster might have been snuck into the standalone physical release as I could see Limited Run doing that. It would also likely come with the same trading card as I think all Limited Run orders come with one and I think that is the only one for The House in Fata Morgana (some releases can come with alternate cards that are less "common"). Come to think of it, why didn't the guy in the video get one? Maybe he did but didn't include it as part of the unboxing since it comes loose in the shipping box. I know the Fata Morgana artbook is something I've seen a video of before that a super-fan in the States ordered from Japan, so it's not exclusive to this release although I'm sure it's not easy or cheap to get. She also had a similar soundtrack that was five discs. This particular soundtrack obviously includes music from the new chapter added for this release though, so it's more complete (judging by the back of the case it seems as though the newer tracks are indeed confined to Disc 6). The artwork on the discs also clearly shows the newer art assets for some of the backgrounds (which I only know because I've played both the original PC release and this one).

Well, I'm glad I'm not the only one who had a disc fumble and this professional Youtuber literally had it fall out entirely. It's worth noting he's showing off the Vita version (though you don't get a good look at the cart), and he also got a different collectible card than I did.

"Even when they smile, they look sad." <-- Kristen Stewart in a nutshell.

"Even when they smile, they look sad." <-- Kristen Stewart in a nutshell. Lol. Well, it is a tragedy. There are happy moments throughout but it's not all roses for anyone who resides in the mansion at any point in time...even that family with the gorgeous rose garden. I'd say the more gothic art style adequately conveys this fact in addition to giving the characters a more European-inspired look (which accentuates the largely European, largely classical setting quite well). The promotional art may give an inaccurate impression though. I would not define this as a yuri (girl-on-girl) game, nor as a bishoujo type game, or any kind of waifu simulator. I mean, sure, it's possible to pick a waifu from the cast due to getting to like that character, but that's due to the writing. Fanservice is virtually non-existent. This is a title for getting attached to characters through storytelling.
