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?

Interesting and satisfying puzzle solving.
Very good game, this is the kind of detective game I wish there were more of. Well written mystery that rewards paying attention, the voice acting is great and keep you immersed along the way. Figuring out who is who was fast and easy but the story was so great that I'd say balanced it out. The challenging part was to figure out who was where at any point of the timeline -- SPOILER -- [spoiler]I really liked that when you thought the game was done, it was actually not and you needed to figure out how to stop it before the curse gets to you, although it was maybe a little rushed in my opinion but I still did like the end because the curse was never fully explained. It was kept supernatural and I love it, also makes sense because since Reya has no emotional connection with Ervin, she has no reason to randomly remember him like the others.[/spoiler]
之前有在玩Type Help玩一半擱置了 在阿B發現Type Help出了重製版特意來支持 本來就很喜歡魯特里 這一作更是喜歡 [spoiler] 老實說一直害怕有jump scare 還好還好 [/spoiler] 難度適中 不靠提示也能過 筆記寫爆寫滿 雖然故事的走向和我預期有落差 但整體來說玩法和創意都很不錯 期待會有DLC 也期待後續新作
A very good pick for fans of Obra Dinn, Roottrees, and Golden Idol. The gameplay loop is addicting, jumping from scene to scene as you piece together the characters whereabouts and the mystery at large. The presentation and voice acting help elevate the experience. Towards the end of the main story things get a bit too linear, but then there's an epilogue that picks the action right back up. Easy recommendation for anyone who's a fan of these type of games.
Très bon jeu d'enquête qui ressemble un peu au cluedo, "Kronologic" ou même au jeu de société "Echoes". Il faut reconstitué l'histoire au fur et à mesure avec les indices que l'on peut entendre et en déduire où étaient chaque personnages, avec qui et quand. J'ai adoré l'histoire même si la fin m'a laissé perplexe. Un super moment de jeu et une dizaine de feuilles de notes sur mon bureau (possibilité d'avoir un carnet de note en jeu mais personnellement je préfère le papier héhé)
Peut-être le meilleur jeu d'enquête auquel j'ai pu jouer ! J'avais adoré Type Help, cette édition conserve toutes ses forces, et le sublime avec un enrobage de bonne facture et une excellente UX. Le concept est simple, mais extrêmement gratifiant. Le récit quant à lui est extrêmement haletant, tout en racontant plein choses. C'est brillant du début à la fin.
An addicting mystery horror story with a gradually building existential dread that never truly lets up and only gets worse the more you think about it. There are even things that will change right in your face as the night goes on in a way that makes the ultimate reveal make sense and immerses you [spoiler]through the fourth wall[/spoiler] into a horrible realization. It's best to experience the entirety of that on your own so I will not comment on the story at large, only that a single transcription line "[spoiler]A phone was ringing elsewhere[/spoiler]" somehow creeped the hell out of me the most. I spent most of my night playing this until I HAD to sleep and even then this is something someone can complete in a single day. It really just sucks you in like Roottrees. Must have for a mystery fan.
不太写评论的,但还是很喜欢这个故事和这个结尾。[spoiler] 有人希望得到更明确的解释,有人希望遵循原版保留更留白的结尾。但可能对我来说, 其实故事本身底色就是温情的,带着感情地回忆重要的人,对抗那种诅咒,是一种悲壮的浪漫,原版中那个调查员(这版的梅与厄尼斯)带着决心决定停下这个诅咒的心,也带着一种不贴近现实的悲壮感。本身普通的日常在回忆中才最有杀伤力。也有可能我想念小时候和我的外婆外公了吧。[/spoiler] 另外分享一个我原先对这个故事的猜想,[spoiler] 我以为是这家人因为原先失去了埃莉诺,无法再忍受失去阿米莉亚;为了抵御失去亲人的悲伤,而请求巫师帮助大家遗忘,但负面作用是再想起时自己的生命就会受到威胁。本身只是想止住悲伤,结果带来了更多的悲剧。[/spoiler] 抱着探寻真相与严密推理的玩家可能不适合这个游戏,但是希望通过一些细节还原故事、体验情节的可以考虑在打折时入手!
Great mystery game. Really hooks you. Keep a notebook handy.
Another amazing mystery from the studio behind The Roottrees are Dead. Can't wait to see what gem they will bring next.
