The Incident at Galley House

总的来说还是很优秀，就是推着推着大家像发疯一样，让我摸不着头脑，有一些故弄玄虚的让案情变复杂。 但不得不说和鲁特里一家一样，中文友好，逻辑缜密，跨度至今的反转让我当时还是惊喜了一阵，不过E的出现又有点过于僵硬和刻意，不太好。

Riveting and engaging right from the start, with fantastic voice acting. As mystery games go, it's not the hardest. But it is very rewarding, and not getting stuck too often also allows you to enjoy the really well-written mystery without rage-quitting. The type of logic is primarily logic related to sequences of events and actions - what would make sense for characters to do now, where would they go next, etc. Here's a comparison for two similar games: If you liked [i]The Roottrees are Dead[/i], you will find this game fundamentally similar - it's a "desktop investigation" where you interact with a machine. The games are very similar in that you piece together a story bit by bit by extrapolating based on a bit that you already have. [i]Galley House[/i] is a little easier and much less text-based, which - having played the two back to back - was really refreshing for me. Where [i]Roottrees[/i] was a fantastic, complex sleuthing exercise that (by comparison only) didn't get me as invested in the story because of the all-text character of it, [i]Galley House[/i] is the opposite: slightly less sleuthy, somewhat more emotionally engaging due to the voice acting. It's like reading a really good book if you have a super vivid imagination. If you liked [i]Seance of Blake Manor[/i], you will probably like it a lot, but it's a different kind of sleuthing and may feel a little easier. As you don't move but only use a device allowing you to access information, you won't be interviewing people or searching corners for evidence. But the story is just as engaging, and the game feels more modern. You still have to piece together sequences of actions and think about people's psychology to some extent. I finished this game to 100 % in just under 12 hours, compared to about 19 each for less than 100 % in [i]Roottrees[/i] (incl. Mania) and [i]Blake Manor[/i], so it is a smaller game.

Fantastic game, got sucked in. Just wish it had more memorable characters.

Great little gossip game. Interesting story and pretty unique playstyle. Well worth the two evenings it took to beat.

This is an instant classic in my book, played through most of the 10-hour game in a single day. If you're a fan of modern detective/mystery games like Obra Dinn or Golden Idol, I cannot recommend this game highly enough.

I just finished the game and loved it. It took some getting used to but once you got the hang of it I found it very rewarding.

[h3]Good deduction game. More accessible, but not as satisfying as The Roottrees are Dead.[/h3] The story was interesting enough to want to keep going, but ultimately had too many loose ends to give me that rewarding feeling of understanding [i] everything [/i] that is going on in the mystery. Both halves of the game felt like they ended early and left a bit to be desired. However, the voice acting and overall production value were excellent and I'm excited to see what Evil Trout does next! Well worth the purchase if you're still itching for more deduction after playing the usual popular recommendations (Obra Dinn, Golden Idol, Roottrees, etc).
