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?

Bought this knowing very little about it, and I did have some fun with it for the ~6 hours it took to 100%. It's based on a free text game called "Type Help" which made waves a while back among fans of mystery games, and this remake comes with the pedigree of the devs behind The Roottrees Are Dead, so that was enough to make me pick it up almost sight unseen. Good Things: -The central mechanic, a sort of high-maintenance Obra Dinn Pocketwatch, is unique and fun to work out the intricacies of. -The character writing is pretty strong. -There are two or three interesting twists. -It explores a pretty fun supernatural concept, and one that I have a lot of affinity for, which I mostly enjoyed even if it made following things pretty confusing at times. -There's a notebook that you can access at any time by pressing ~, which is really convenient. -There's a hint system that works fairly well. Bad Things: -The interface felt really inefficient to me, with constant switching back and forth between sub-menus and losing track of what you were doing and where. -Some of the logic felt pretty counterintuitive, and I ended up relying on hints a lot in the late game. -If you ARE familiar with the supernatural concept it's exploring (full game spoilers: [spoiler]antimemetics[/spoiler]), some of its big "reveals" can feel a little basic. -If you're interested in a murder mystery, don't bother; it appears to be one at first, but anyone looking for that will be disappointed. -The ending is really unsatisfying. Instead of answering any of my numerous questions or explaining any of the reasons behind the events that took place, it only confirmed things i had already figured out hours ago and just sort of shrugged off my actual questions with a "I guess we'll never know ;)". 2/5. I don't regret the time I spent with it, but I left disappointed, and wouldn't recommend picking it up at full price. I'd be interested in a sequel that polishes things up and actually resolves the story.

个人评分:6/10 作为鲁特里团队的作品,它继承了鲁特里一家的优点:独特的玩法(3D和2D场景的切换、回溯非常眼前一亮)以及细到需要抠字眼的证据搜集,这些它无疑做到了极致,如果你追求玩法以及证据搜集的过程,那么这款游戏一定会让你满意。 但是,如果你是一个喜欢揭开真相并享受推理过程,非常注重逻辑的玩家来说,这款游戏可能会让你失望。游戏内容只是帮助游戏内的警方做人物图像和名字的对照,它完全没有对整起案件的推理和揭示,甚至作案手法在游戏的中期,甚至前中期就可以知道。它完全没有情绪上的递进和案件推理的逻辑,人物的死亡顺序也有一点混乱。且官方在游戏结尾并没有解释案件的动机,以及为什么会是那个手法而非其他,如果官方能够在结尾补充案件诞生的来龙去脉会让我对这个游戏的评价更高。 价格方面,个人认为偏高,预期在50左右,可以等待打折
An excellent remake of an already excellent game. I bought this to support the devs since I loved Type Help so much, and even though much of the game was as I remembered, eventually a whole new mystery started to unravel. Absolutely a must-buy!
前期挺好玩的,中期猜到谜底更是期待后续,打完结局,我就只剩下无语了 [spoiler] 我中间知道这是个灵异事件,想起记忆,打雷死亡,后面我就一直在期待主角调查员是不是要从这些记忆里面找到问题的根源,以及解决的方法。特别是到后面调查员篇的时候,我真的以为终于要开始解释为什么会出现这样的事,这个打雷灵异事件的起源是什么,以及最终的解决方案。结果就是厄尔文莫名其妙的讲了一堆我完全没搞懂的事,然后就说自己是英雄,结束了这个灵异事件。我当时看他解释,真的是满脑子问号。大哥你到底说的啥玩意啊,讲的好像很厉害,但是完全没解释通啊。总结就是无语,超级无语 [/spoiler]
Awesome game. Couldn't stop until I finished.
Un bon jeu d'enquête mais quelques points qui commencent vraiment à devenir agaçant Le jeu reprend malheureusement un schéma devenu assez fréquent dans les jeux d'enquête récents : construire un mystère complexe pour finalement l'expliquer par un phénomène surnaturel ou une règle du monde complètement invraisemblable. Ce choix peut fonctionner, mais ici il donne plutôt l'impression de contourner l'enquête au lieu de vraiment la conclure. Un autre point qui m'a gêné concerne la réaction des personnages face à cette situation. Les événements qu'ils vivent sont complètement absurdes et devraient provoquer des réactions beaucoup plus fortes, mais ils continuent souvent à agir d'une manière qui semble peu naturelle. Cela rend le tout moins crédible et peut compliquer l'immersion. Au final, le jeu reste une bonne expérience d'enquête : le début est efficace, l'ambiance fonctionne, les événements s'enchaînent rapidement et la progression est agréable. Mais la fin est gâchée par un postulat qui devient de plus en plus fréquent dans ce genre de jeux et qui finit par donner une impression de facilité plutôt que de véritable révélation.
while I wouldn't say this was a bad game, it wasn't good either. I really wanted to like this game, I loved the rootrees are dead, however this just didn't do it for me. The gameplay loop is incredibly repetitive, difficult in a way that is time consuming and a little vague, but not satisfying. I finished the game very quickly, the rootrees are dead took me a lot longer to think things through. It was pretty obvious who everyone was very early on, and what was happening, I was less than half way through. The game looks good and the actual game runs just fine. I just couldn't say this was an enjoyable game, which is a great shame. There something about the lack of proper closure for the events that is disappointing, we have no idea why the things are happening. SPOLIERS: I also felt like the ending was a bit.... confusing? I feel like based on the established rules the player character shouldn't have survived. Yes, we didn't know the man who died in the final act, but we did know all of our colleagues.
没打type help直接来的,体验还是不错的。因为操作相近,猜测原版游戏会有类似婆罗洲的繁琐输入,在本重制版输入的优化很不错。 如果已经玩过了type help,感觉没必要急着打重制版。 至于很多人差评的点在于“以为是暴风雪山庄,结果是[spoiler] 非本格 [/spoiler]”的问题,只能说,游戏已经不是暗示而是在很前期就明示了吧?也没有任何宣发说其是本格推理。这个指责未免有些无端。
Up to around half way through the game I was taking a ton of notes, trying to unravel a web of countless lies and contradictions. After that I took literally zero notes. This game ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ rocks. Don't you dare spoil yourself, just play it.
Oh My Gosh. I played their Roottree game and bought this one as soon as it came out. 9 hours later, I've 100% completed the game and I wasn't disappointed. The flow of this game was fantastic. I wasn't floundering around for obscure clues like with The Roottrees are Dead. The storyline was great! Kept you wondering for a while before you start to realize what's going on, and then you're crying as you know what's coming. I loved it, every second.
