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
Pretty much if "Her Story" had the plot of [i]And Then There Were None[/i] (affectionately!). I really enjoyed playing this game, it had me completely glued to my seat for hours on end. The voice acting and art was great and the story was super intriguing. I will say that a lot of this game involves just sitting around watching cutscenes, and whenever there is a puzzle to solve, it's always pretty easy (I never once felt even a little compelled to get a hint). But overall, really great game!
Great story, it was extremely engaging. I was lucky to have a free afternoon to finish the game in one sitting. Def recommended.

Amazing balance of difficulty and discovery - would love to see a sequel or expansion
TLDR: A very intriguing and atmospheric mystery visual novel-type game with some 3D elements that give the player a unique kind of agency, with a crazy reveal at the end of the game that made it so memorable. Totally recommend. I was very much in a mystery game kick when my friend recommended I pick this up, and boy did it scratch the itch! There were a few times here or there where my tired brain (late night) needed some help with the hints, but overall the context clues are good for figuring out the next scene. The atmosphere and story were both very good and spooky. I liked that the characters were very unique and memorable. I HEAVILY enjoyed the fact that we ourselves had to use context clues to assign names and profile images for each character as well. The plot twist/switch up at the end (no spoilers) blew my mind, gave me like a "you can do this??" type of feeling I haven't felt for any games in a long time. The conclusion of the mystery left me feeling a little unsettled, but I've never experienced this kind of phenomenon in any piece of media before.
一番の詰みポイントは最初のシーンを見ること SEなので、コードっていったら半角英数字やろうなという先入観で、まさかの全角カタカナってw 最初のシーン観るまでに1時間以上かかりましたw
很喜欢这个故事,[spoiler] 一个充满遗憾的故事,当爱意被抹去,关系被斩断,变成孤岛的人最终只剩下孤寂与空洞。我认为这个“诅咒”真的很很恶劣,或者说这种依靠情感传染的病。我们都是由各种经历、彼此的关系构成的,如果全部剥离,那么对“我”的认知也会被扭曲,让人变得困惑、多疑敏感,最终导致个体的消亡。 [/spoiler]操作上,前期需要一些探索,比如空间代号(比如餐厅对应“CT”,也就是中文拼音首字母大写,这一点我刚开始真没搞懂)。不管怎么说,我挺喜欢这种演出形式的,配音也很贴合角色,非常推荐各位观测员来探索。
I loved The Rootrees Are Dead, and this is another great game from Evil Trout. The art, voice acting and score are spot on and the story is engaging.
好玩
Bravo c'était très bien
Better than Obra Dinn.
