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?

Scratches the itch I've been looking for since Return of the Obra Dinn. The twists genuinely got me - my jaw was on the floor. Fantastic game.

I don't remember anything about this game, you can't make me.
Absolutely recommended! Don't let yourself be spoiled by anything about the game; don't look up reviews, hints, guides, Let's Play's, or anything else - just play it. You'll figure it out and connect the pieces, don't worry. Take your time. If you enjoyed "Return of the Obra Dinn" or "Seance at Blake Manor", you'll also enjoy this mystery.
I was very much anticipating this game after having played the original by William Rous, and I wanted to see how they'd build upon the previous incarnation, which is a high bar considering how much I did love the previous one. At first it was as good as I expected it to be, having built upon an already great foundation. I did notice there are particular aspects of the original game that weren't as present in this current incarnation which I thought added a lot to the original. [/spoiler]Specifically the original's frame story involving the narrator who had been guiding you throughout the game and whose comments on various scenes in the game really helped make you intrigued about the entire mystery.[/spoiler] I didn't really mind it, as the upgraded visuals of the game and the added voice acting for every recounted scene made the story much more gripping than if it were to be presented as text logs, and I was already quite satisfied with what I've gotten from the game, though a bit disappointed at [/spoiler]what may have happened to the frame story as seemed to not be as emphasized as much... I suspected maybe it would eventually come into play much later on and may eventually be proven wrong.[/spoiler] Alas I didn't exactly mind what I eventually got. But then I was proven QUITE wrong. [/spoiler]The moment the main plot twist happened and ultimately gave the proper background to the strange events that brought you into the house, my mind was blown. The fact that the remake had ultimately snuck in an entire third act of sorts quite late into the game and adding a lot more than what I assumed the game was set out to do blew my mind. I am really glad that the creator was able to go much further with the story this time, as I do think that the exploration of forgetting and how the curse would affect those who currently still have to live with it was appreciated for the story. I would say this surpasses the original frame story and definitely made up for the initial disappointment I had for the frame story.[/spoiler] I will say that the UI is quite clunky when playing on a controllers (though it's not surprising as it is much better suited to mouse and computer) though I wouldn't consider that as much of a con when the story itself surpasses my expectations from having come from the previous game. Seeing how this one came together, I cannot wait to see what Evil Trout eventually do next time!
Great and engaging story that pulls you in. Excellent UI for a notebook mystery game. I would use this to teach a logic class.
游戏性很不错,有些许类似我之前玩过的一款叫《疑案追声》的游戏。通过对话来了解对话中的人和事,以及之后剧情的走向,甚至是过去发生的事情。很不错,玩起来很丝滑。哪怕是不喜欢动脑的,也可以使用笔记本里的提示来达到跳过想不出的内容。提示也并不是一下子就给出答案,而是点一下给一些提示,直到你实在过不去就会给出答案,这个设计非常好,既照顾了得到提示还想努力一下的玩家,也照顾到了只想顺畅通关了解剧情的玩家。总的来说,这是一款非常不错的推理游戏,非常推荐。
very cool
剧本杀纯享版,把时间线一点点盘出来太享受了
