The Incident at Galley House

I was hooked by this puzzle/murder mystery game from start to finish! Coming from the developer of The Roottrees Are Dead, my expectations were high, and they were completely met: • The deduction system is brilliantly designed, giving you plenty of leads without leaving you stuck. • The story kept me engaged throughout. I'm usually the type to skip lore, but here I paid attention to every conversation to uncover the mystery. • The pacing is excellent, introducing new mechanics and increasing the difficulty without ever feeling overwhelming. I loved The Roottrees Are Dead, but The Incident at Galley House feels like an even more polished take on the formula. An easy recommendation for anyone who enjoys deduction games. I hope this game gets the recognition it deserves!

As the others say very good deduction game, very cool creepy story. 12 hours cleartime and boy I did not take any breaks.

Coming from the team of The Roottrees Are Dead and teaming up with William Rous, the developer of the game this is a remake of (Type Help), I knew I was in for a good deduction game. I wasn't disappointed. The Incident at Galley House has you using a machine in a spooky abandoned house to peek into the past, starting with one mystery and ending with a different one. It doesn't hold your hand (unless you use hints; there's no penalty and the game tells you this) but it also doesn't expect you to be Sherlock Holmes, glancing everything in one go. There's ample tools to help you remember things: markers for segments on the timeline so you can signal pivotal events; a way to highlight individual dialogue; a notebook to type out your own notes; and even a search function to just look up words or phrases through every scene you've witnessed in case you need to recall where someone said something. It's not perfect; I wish there were more art of the characters as you only ever get full portraits if they're standing. If they're sitting or doing anything else, you get a circular profile photo near their head with an arrow. This is fine, I guess, with one or two characters in a scene but really looks silly when you have a group of people sitting around a dinner table and they're ghostly silhouettes. There's also some UI jank that can be a bit spoiler-y if explained in a review, but it's pretty easy to spot! This game took me about 10.5 hours to finish and 12 hours total to get 100% of the achievements and I had a blast. If you're looking for a good mystery to solve, you can't do much better and you can do a whole lot worse.

Please, please go into this game as blind as possible. I was hooked from the title screen. Incredible experience. I can't wait to play through this again one day...

A very satisfying mystery. The endgame in particular had a lovely little twist to bring the whole thing together.

Phenomenal mystery game to scratch that itch of pulling at threads to unravel a plot. I can't say any more, because if this is the sort of game that appeals to you, that first sentence was enough and you'd appreciate that I said no more.

If you liked Roottrees you'll love this. Had an absolute blast with it and very much enjoyed working to fill in the gaps.

推荐晕字的玩家玩，不晕字的去玩网页版，免费不说还有神秘小道具，我这算补票，纪念好些年前独自推理到水落石出的自己，虽说作品严重违反推理小说公约，还是好想清除记忆重新玩一遍。 比起原版来说并没有增添更多推理方面的趣味，反而因系统简化（操纵复杂化）少了很多有趣的细节，新增剧情还行是真的，少了穿插在对话里at的旁白有些遗憾是真的。原版旁白是真主角，是steam版help成就提到名字的，收集最多资料，回忆起最多东西的人，也是让64有机会找出解法的第一信息位。01不算在诅咒里，单纯是觉得自己杀了02跑去肘击水泥地，原作的诅咒的机制是在诅咒生效前死亡就会不被诅咒，02是靠上一代夭折的小女孩没被忘记知道这点的，所以最后02才要拿枪自杀，想要终止诅咒，可惜她母亲想起来了，最后才导致诅咒接着传递。01完全没想起来就没被诅咒，他只是精神崩溃自杀了，正因如此他才能出现在报道里。无论是原版还是重置，诅咒都是单链传播，且某种意义上无法分裂。

A really great mystery game, with a great story and interesting mechanic

Another banger Obra Dinn-Like from the same people of The Roottrees are Dead. In a way both reminded me a lot of Her Story. Roottrees for that search engine system, and this one for having me assembling pieces of a timeline of events. And of course amazing twists. I don't remember feeling so gaslighted by a game before.
