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?

One of the best mystery games I've played.
What a fantastic game. The mechanics felt gimmicky at first but they really work and I saw a comment here say they didn't have to use a notepad as the records are so extensive in game which I totally agree with. The story is also great.
Had this on my wishlist for so long and bought it as soon as I could, love it! Scratched an itch I've had since I finished the Roottrees are Dead and it was the perfect pacing of figuring things out and unravelling the story without it being linear. Absolutely recommend this if you like puzzle solving/detectives and want something that'll keep you addicted for hours.
What an amazing game! It's even better than the Roottrees. Can't wait for next projects
非常推荐!游戏性和故事性都拉满,整个推理做得非常丝滑,几乎不会卡关,剧情也很精彩,基本都圆上了,并且那种“未知力量的恐惧感”也做得非常好,很喜欢![spoiler]并且后续的现代线的推理部分也蛮好,一抬头看见同事尸体那里满震撼的,当你不再是观测而是亲身体验这种“忘记”,又是另一种恐怖感了[/spoiler] 也有美中不足的地方,[spoiler]开头就提示了是两个案件混在一起,我一直以为这11个人其实是两个案件里的人只是混在一起了,结果到结局也没有拆开,可能这个指的只是有几张照片是多出来的混淆视听吧,但是我因为对这个期待很高所以最后没有有点失望;也不是很喜欢把合照部分放在故事最后,因为思路已经从加利家族抽离出来了,从现实线结束再看总觉得没有那个感觉了,而且也感觉我们主角看完这些没跑,跟同事尸体共处一室坚持看了鲁伯特家族的合照回忆也是有点厉害[/spoiler] 不过总体来说还是非常推荐!!好玩好玩!

Good
不难,盘起来很顺畅,有种打了一场以行为逻辑、人物动线为主的剧本杀的感觉,而且比剧本杀便宜。
Probably the best of the various "Obra-Dinn-likes" I've played! Really scratches the same itch, deduction-wise, and has the same feeling of creeping unease as the true nature of things starts to become clear. On the other hand, the format and central conceit are different enough to not feel like a simple recreation of Obra Dinn (though I enjoy those types of games too). Some genuine twists, which I didn't expect. I was pretty sure I understood very quickly what was going on, but I had not...not totally :) Should be interesting even for the most genre-savvy deduction gamers!
