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?

Overall: 5/10 - Worth a Weekend Story: 5/10 World: 5/10 Bosses: n/a Gameplay: 6/10 Difficulty: 5/10 The main draw of this game is the deductive puzzles. The story and gameplay are nothing particularly special, but the main enjoyment comes from piecing together the main mystery. It gets a little stale quicker then I would like, but its a short enough game that it didnt keep me from having fun.
Gameplay was fantastic and would highly recommend if you enjoyed games the Golden Idol games or Return of the Obra Dinn. Story was okay. [spoiler] The game spends far too much time on the first timeline imo. I figured out generally what was happening about halfway through; past this point, there is no new information to be gained and the rest of this part of the game is spent mindlessly deducing the locations of everyone at each time period until you have most of it solved. [/spoiler]
Highly recommend. Absolutely loved it, one of the best deduction mysteries I've played. Play it blind. Do not use hints.
Best whodunit since And Then, There Were None.
One of the best deduction games since Return of the Obra Dinn
This developer is rapidly becoming my favorite in the puzzle/mystery genre after two incredible entries into the genre with this one and Rootrees. Incident At Galley House is a must buy if you are a fan of games like Blue Prince and Obra Dinn. A very unique and creative concept that had me completely hooked from beginning to end. Read nothing about it, go in blind, enjoy. Incredible game.
Great detective game. The plot is impecable. It is really interesting. Great job
非常棒的微硬核推理。 这种主动思考一步步推敲的感觉非常棒。 尤其是第二圈的时候,那种回忆里突然多塞一个人进去的感觉。新颖而震撼
