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?

Reviews
Brilliant deduction game, and a bit spooky too. Definitely recommend.
This was very fun to play, and as someone who had just finished Type Help not that long ago, I was excited to see that the game was expanded and the storyline further developed. Really enjoyed the voice actors and art that brought the story to life!

不赖
オブラディン、Unheardが大好きだったので迷わず購入。大満足しました!!楽しかった!! 他の方も言っている通り、論理パズル的なゲームです。いつどこに誰がいたのかを会話から推測し、何が行われたのかを探っていきます。考える要素が多いので手元でメモをとりながらなんとかクリアできました。情報を整理しながら進めていくことのなんと楽しかったことか…。 おそらく推理の難易度としてはそんなに高くないのでとっつきやすいと思います(それ以前にゲームシステム自体がちょっととっつきづらいというのはありますが)。 この人が一人でどこかの部屋にいたはずだけどわからない…などのとき、総当たり戦で調べることもできるので助かりましたw ボイスドラマの演技が良くて、話し方から「この人ちゃんとした面もあるみたい」とか「意外と腹黒いのか…?」などが感じ取れます。日本語字幕にもおかしなところは特になく、ありがたい限りです。 音声以外は日本語に完全対応しています。 タイトル画像からもわかる通り、各所のフォントが凝っていてめっちゃかっこいい!大手の開発会社というわけではないようなのに、こんなマイナー言語にも対応してくれてうれしいです。
Incredible way to present a fragmented storyline. Easily one of the best uses of interactive storytelling. I don't know what more to say without potentially spoiling anything. So I will just say that Incidents at Galley House is well worth your time if you enjoy a good mystery.
fun premise and mechanics. Loved the mystery and the voice acting. highly recommend
TL;DR - It's a really good mystery/detective game, buy it! Mechanically, the game is about discovering scenes by working out when and where they happened and who was present. It reminds me a lot of TR-49 (another excellent game), where you unlock books by figuring out who wrote them and when they were written. So far though, I prefer the setting and story of Galley House, and the mechanics are a bit more complex too (in a good way). The game also has a lot of really useful quality of life features. There's a notebook you can type in, you can save or highlight dialogue you think is important, and you can easily search through all the dialogue you've discovered. The last one is an incredible feature that I wish all similar games had. It sucks when you remember someone mentioned a violin three hours ago and then have to spend ages hunting through conversations trying to find it again. In general, the game is really good at showing you the information you want, where you need it. This means the challenge comes from actually working things out rather than fighting the UI or trying to remember where you saw a particular clue. Unfortunately, it lacks the exploration aspect of something like Return of the Obra Dinn, although I still don't think we've really seen a true successor to Obra Dinn. Nonetheless, it's an excellent detective game, easily up there with Golden Idol, Roottrees (from the same publisher), etc. If you like deduction games, I strongly recommend it, even at full price. I paid the full price myself, and am very happy with the purchase.
面白かった。 ヒントを使わず9時間くらいでコンプ。 詰まったのはごく最初くらいで、その後は比較的サクサクと進んだ。 [spoiler]呪い?にかかるのは直前に死んだ人のことを思い出した一人だけ[/spoiler]ということに気づいたのがクリア後だったので、[spoiler]「この終わり方で防げるの?」「どこかに知らない呪い保持者がいたりしないの?」「主人公が同僚のことを思い出したら終わりじゃないの?」[/spoiler]と思ったが大丈夫だった。なるほどね。 「Golden Idol」みたいに、根源が語られる別作品とかあっても面白いというか、知りたい気持ちになった。無くても納得は出来るけど。 最初のシーンの招待状に関する会話で、超常的な話と予測してすんなり読めたが、そこに気づかずに現実的なミステリー、探偵ものとして読み始めると肩透かしを食らうかもしれない。 「知らない人からもらった謎の招待状に、なぜだか応じて来てしまった」からはじまる事件。ここは押さえておいた方がいいと思う。 いや、そもそも謎の過去再生心霊装置で捜査してるわけだけど。それは例外としてミステリの文脈で読んじゃう人の気持ちもわからなくはない。
After finishing the game, I can confidently call it a masterpiece of the genre--far and away one of my favorites. Tones of Obra Dinn, Unheard, Utter a Name, TR-49, and of course The Roottrees are dead. The voice acting is immersive and high-quality, the art is consistent and charming, and most importantly, the mystery tickles the brain just right. It's well-paced, difficult without feeling unfair, and thought-provoking. Above all else, it's a game that respects your intelligence and doesn't hold up progress for getting little things wrong (other games will stall you for "oops, you forgot to click on this little thing" or "can't unlock the next chapter until you speak to so-and-so about such-and-such!", but that never happened in Galley House) I will be missing this game for a long time and looking very much forward to the next Evil Trout game.
