The Incident at Galley House

++++++

One of those special games where you really feel yourself figuring things out. You, not just your character, are solving the mystery. Each new clue and revelation was deeply pleasing. Loved it.

I played Type Help a while back and was a bit skeptical of it needing a remake. And a few of the Type Help puzzles are obviated or spoiled a bit by the new GUI instead of the original text interface. So I'd say that overall Type Help is the better puzzle game. However, the hour or so of extra endgame Galley House adds resolves the narrative in a way that is extremely satisfying. As a narrative game, this is head and shoulders above Type Help that just fizzled out at the end. Further, the very very end has a moment that took me a good day to fully understand and it just blew my mind when I did. Because of the very last twist, this has elevated Galley House to one of my favorites of all time. I would absolutely recommend it. I will say that because I liked Type Help a bit better for puzzles, I think the ideal way to play would be to start with Type Help, then wait a month or two for the whole thing to settle, then play Galley House for a more satisfying ending. I don't know if anybody will have the discipline to follow through with this plan, but here you'd get the best of both the puzzles and the best narrative.

好玩！但是内容好少啊4小时通关了

3/5 - Average This is a weak recommend. The puzzles are mostly all about about listening to conversations and finding clues to make deductions, which gets tiresome compared to say, the Rootrees are Dead, where the type of puzzles were more varied and fun to solve. While the first half was mostly enjoyable, there were too many scenes later on that were too hard to find. The hint system is good to help you get unstuck, but it often confirmed how obscure the clues are to find some scenes. The voice acting was very good though, as well as the twist in the story.

Great experience full of mystery and intrigue. Play this if you like puzzle games like Case/Rise of the Golden Idol, Return of the Obra Dinn and similar mystery games.

This is not only great interactive fiction, but a great mystery game. The mechanics are so simple but the process of uncovering what is going on gets deeper and deeper, and it leaves you saying "hmmnmmmm" as if you were sherlock holms! I feel i am not too far into the game but it is very intriguing. The game is only as good as your note taking .

Fantastic Game 10/10 for me

What a masterpiece, A unique mystery that go deeper and deeper the more you uncover it. Very clever setting and story that all make sense in the end. I love this type of games and i can't recommand it enough.

I had played the original type help and was looking forward to what would be added in this version... I wasn't dissapointed! Very well done
