The Incident at Galley House

Great game. Knew nothing going in, had a great time.

:Cinema Image: What an absolutely amazing game. I had learned about Type Help (the original game this is based on) a while back, I think around the time I finished The Roottrees Are Dead, and was saving it to play later until I found out that the same team was going to be making this remake of it. So I decided to wait until this release to keep myself totally blind on the story. And I'm very glad I did; I don't know if I would've connected with the story as much as I did if I had only played it in the text format. I think they've done an excellent job here juicing up Type Help with visuals, voice acting, a physical space and interactable machine, and similar notetaking/hint systems that were added to the Roottrees remake. Like many of the great investigative/deduction games that have come out in recent years, the story is fantastic and worth finding out for yourself so I won't talk about it much in this review. But it has a lot of twists and turns, keeping me curious about what was going on in this house until I finally pieced together part of the mystery right before the game more explicitly reveals it. It was SO satisfying figuring things out. I also found myself reeling when I realized what certain things meant for the characters in coming scenes, just apprehension for what I could tell was about to happen next, waiting for the pin to drop. I was sad for a couple of characters, kept going "aghhh... mannnn..." lol. And toward the end, when the revelations REALLY start hitting, oh man. That felt so sick. Lastly I want to say that I think they've done a great job keeping the game part feeling purposeful. With the addition of scenes and dialogue playing out as you discover them, it could've become a bit too visual novel-y, but needing to work out the codes to access those scenes and putting in info is well done, and the tactility (thought I was making up that word tbh) of flipping and switching the controls of the spectrometer is really nice. To me, Galley House is a must play for anyone who loves these types of mystery games.

中度烧脑轻量级变格推理游戏，这时间回溯的玩法和推进节奏做得太棒了，剧情非常精彩，大结局也很感动，真的，太令人怅然若失了。

This game is really good if you want to sleuth your evening away

An absolute masterclass in deductive mystery games. It's in a league of it's own.

Albeit different from Roottrees, I think this is another excellent entry into the deduction genre. I'm only 3 hours in as things are starting to get meaty and my notes are building out - as expected - the balance of deduction and available information, as well as needed guesswork and trial and error, are phenomenally constructed here. After a couple steps training you how to think, the game really allows logic to flow and the depth of the machine tech really allows for that

玩了这游戏变成甄嬛了——[spoiler] 看到打雷就害怕 [/spoiler]

Just absolutely phenomenal. I never played Type Help as when I discovered Roottrees, I wanted to save my playthrough for this remake. I realise that Red Pearls of Borneo follows the design of this game, and what a wonderful game this was! A proper deduction and logic game that scratched that itch I've been waiting for since Roottrees. Well done again!

已通关，个人觉得还算不错的一款改编游戏，在原作的基础上加上了调查员的剧情，游戏剧情有备受好评的原作当底子所以很精彩，但是游玩的过程中缺点也有很多，不知道制作组有没有后续优化的意向： ①时间点旋钮很难用，加载动画非常长，正确的动画我可以接受，但是错误的时候也要观看三秒电流加操纵杆落下有点烦人。 ②角色立绘只有站姿，其他姿势会变回小黑人，观感不太好。 ③配音语速有点慢，而且重播剧情某句话的时候会转场进动画，感觉可以改成在显示器页面能单独播放这句话。 ④笔记本完全没有一点用处，至少对我来说是完全没有，我一个字都没写过，本作有了可视化面板后难度大降低，完全不需要记笔记了。 新增的调查员剧情感觉和游戏本身剧情融合得还不错，尤其是一开始莫名其妙出现的线索和发电机老是炸在后面都有种恍然大悟的感觉，最后00的剧情也是让人很感慨，一群人随着剧情的发展一直在互相埋怨和争吵，让人忘记了他们原本也算是其乐融融的一家人。 游戏流程好短，我玩鲁特里都是10+h，但是这个5.5h就通关了，文本量没有前作大，我个人认为定价有点贵了，不过依旧是不错的游戏吧。

Solid mystery, though I wasn't a huge fan of the mysticism/sci-fi side of the mystery itself. I went in to it expecting a whodunnit but it's more about piecing together a timeline of events and uncovering what is going on here. The final act uses the game's internal rules very well and I thought it was very clever. 7/10 ish. respectable though maybe a little obtuse at times I wanted more tools for tracking people/bodies and people would be vague about their destination/origin which made me lean on the hint system a little bit more than I'd want to. That said, the hint system is pretty good and does a solid job of nudging you along before it eventually tells you the answer.
