The Incident at Galley House

IMO a high of a price for a 10-15 hour experience, but it was fantastic and would highly recommend to fans of the genre.

My instinct is to stay away from anything horror, but this premise had me intrigued. So I took a chance. I am glad I did. Is the game a little unnerving? Yeah. Did I close my eyes when starting the power? Yeah. Was it worth it? Heck yeah. If you can play Creature Kitchen, you can play this. I still have more to learn but I rolled credits and loved it. I could go on but I hate writing on my steam deck.

Absolutely fantastic detective game that requires good deductive skills. The story and the main mystery itself was a nice surprise, finding the explanation caused a big AHA moment where suddenly everything clicked and made sense.

Do you love “& then there were none”? Coincidentally, I just watched a reimagining of the play recently and that spurred my decision to buy this game day one. My track record: I’m a huge sucker for these puzzle games (Return of the Obra Dinn / Rootrees are Dead / Lorelei & The Laser Eyes / Case of the Golden Idol ) I had not touch the original “Type Help” text-based game at all. But you know what’s the testament for how much I loved it? Whilst I was out on my workday, I couldn’t stop thinking about Galley House and started up “Type Help” to get me through my morbid curiosity. Those small ‘tests’ helped to solidify some of my theories and I rushed home to see the full scene in the Galley House. This is a game that needs you to be crystal clear on the order in which things happen and to latch on to conversational nuggets. It’s not hard and does lack a quantity of ‘a-ha’ moments. But the light bulb moments… they do shine bright. One of the biggest ones is a huge deviation from the original ‘Type Help’ so I still strongly recommend original players to come and try the remake!

i never played the original game .. but i thoroughly enjoyed Incident at Galley House! Different from Rootresses are Dead, but the art and the story had me hooked. gameplay is easy to understand and it always felt good when you figured out scenes!

Had a very fun time solving this one. The game doesn't hold your hand and trusts that you'll figure out what happened on your own. This lead to a number of times where my eyes widened and my mouth hanged as I had a revelation as to what was going on. Definitely would recommend this game to anyone who likes to sit down and think about the clues given to you. (May or may not be overhyping this game. I am still running off the high of beating it lol)

Nice deduction game combined with both <The Return of Obra Dinn> and <The Roottrees are Dead>. Nice narrative tricks infused with super-nature power as well as its mechanics being used for deduction
