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?

原价入的手,基本打一半发现关键死亡有点震撼,[spoiler]但是超自然因素有点让这个故事不太符合一开始我的预期[/spoiler],后面核心故事线与逻辑出来后突然有些索然无味,但为了收集全成就还是硬打完了所有剧情,原价有点小贵,建议等打折入
Lovely game. A very different type of puzzle in my opinion, and the story had me hooked up from the start
loved loved loved this game. a different type of puzzle game. I really enjoyed the piecing together the story line. The ending made me tear up. I am looking forward to trying their other game as well :)

fantastic game. one of the best detective games ive had the play. the recontextualization goes hard, and genuinely one of the most horrifying things ive ever played.
Type Helpだと誰が誰かわからなくなり断念しましたが、このゲームはめちゃくちゃ親切で最後までぶっ通しでプレイできました。 この時点で誰が死んで、この時間帯は誰がどこにいたのかというのが段々見えてくるのがプレイしていて気持ちよかったです。
I adored the original Type Help. This game is a perfect remake and does the original more than enough justice. Highly recommended and required playing for any fans of narrative mystery puzzles.
Great mystery game. Really hooks you. Keep a notebook handy.
Cool mashup of both Roottrees and Obra Dinn formulas to make an entirely new, strange thing. The mystery itself is strange too, and once you catch on (hopefully just before the game itself spells it out), you'll see the reason for many design choices. Fun reveals.
A great mystery visual novel game. I especially enjoyed the the first half of the game, where everything felt still really strange and I really wanted to figure out what was going on in the house. I also enjoyed the ending, as some portion of the mystery was coming back. Unfortunately the part inbetween left me somewhat unsatisfied, I had figured out roughly what was going on and nothing happened anymore that gave me any new significant reveals or insights. I did still enjoy watching the scenes but it felt like something was missing. It's not a perfect 10/10 as their previous game "The Roottrees are dead", but it's still a really enjoyble and easy to recommend puzzle game to solve over the weekend
Great, lots of Quality of Life features that should become standard in the genre.
