About
On Sunday the 7th of March, 1936, a group of locals made their way up the long, muddy track to Galley House. As far as any of them knew, the house had stood empty for decades.
Inside, they discovered the bloody aftermath of something horrific.
The authorities were summoned, and the crime scene was eventually cleared away. But nobody ever figured out what happened that dreadful night. It seemed likely that no one ever would.
Now, many years later, you have access to a peculiar machine — one that lets you listen in on echoes of the past. Can you piece together the events behind The Incident at Galley House?

Another absolute banger from this team. The voice acting is INCREDIBLE. I felt sufficiently and authentically challenged by the mystery, while also having an incredibly user friendly experience as I did playing Roottree. It's like Obra Dinn had clues that made sense. [spoiler] also the gaslighting at the end, while extremely cool, was VERY rude. [/spoiler] 10/10 would recommend
10/10 An excellent mystery. The first part is a little slow, but finishing the evening propels act 2 and 3 into some of the tensest discoveries I've seen from this type of game. If you like The Roottrees Are Dead, you'll love this, and if you like this, I'd recommend The Roottrees Are Dead.

[b] This game was very interesting and also a bit confusing at first, but well worth the 8-10 or so hours it takes to beat! [/b] [h3] Some things I'd like to mention [/h3] The game is not so much a detective game as it is deduction game, What I mean to say is; if you have played "The Painscreek Killings" then don't expect this game to be like that. [i] The main loop of the game is deducing who was where and when, not so much who killed who. [/i] The mystery is thrilling and the game got me a couple times with the atmosphere just being so thick with the terror of the unknown, the characters were also well done and had great voice actors that did a phenominal job. [b] I recommend this game (Especially for its low price), it was super fun! [/b]
好玩到爆炸了
7/10
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ this was a hell of a game. I like a bit of detective work, sure, but I'm FASCINATED by games doing interesting things with storytelling by really leaning into video games as a medium. A lot of games (great games!) have a story that would fundamentally work just fine as a book. Not so The Incident at Galley House. My enjoyment of the story was completely inextricable from the fact that I was experiencing it as an active participant. The puzzle of it wasn't too terribly challenging, but that didn't really feel like the point for me, so it didn't really impact my enjoyment. The narrative (and your experience of that narrative) is the point, and that part was fantastic.
WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT QUICKLY AND REPEATEDLY PRESS LEFT CLICK DURING SCENE 04-AT-02-07!!!!!
