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?

Reviews
Loved Obra Dinn and Roottress are Dead. This game is a fantastic addition to this collection of masterpieces.
This is actually everything I could ask for in a deduction game. I loved their previous game, "The Roottrees are Dead", and this one might even be better! These devs know how to COOK.
Really interesting gameplay loop. I'm definitely hooked so far.

不太写评论的,但还是很喜欢这个故事和这个结尾。[spoiler] 有人希望得到更明确的解释,有人希望遵循原版保留更留白的结尾。但可能对我来说, 其实故事本身底色就是温情的,带着感情地回忆重要的人,对抗那种诅咒,是一种悲壮的浪漫,原版中那个调查员(这版的梅与厄尼斯)带着决心决定停下这个诅咒的心,也带着一种不贴近现实的悲壮感。本身普通的日常在回忆中才最有杀伤力。也有可能我想念小时候和我的外婆外公了吧。[/spoiler] 另外分享一个我原先对这个故事的猜想,[spoiler] 我以为是这家人因为原先失去了埃莉诺,无法再忍受失去阿米莉亚;为了抵御失去亲人的悲伤,而请求巫师帮助大家遗忘,但负面作用是再想起时自己的生命就会受到威胁。本身只是想止住悲伤,结果带来了更多的悲剧。[/spoiler] 抱着探寻真相与严密推理的玩家可能不适合这个游戏,但是希望通过一些细节还原故事、体验情节的可以考虑在打折时入手!
Gripping mystery complimented by solid voice acting, audio cues, and strong visuals while still allowing room for one's imagination to wander. This deduction game scratched an itch wonderfully and left me craving so much more!
OUTSTANDING game. Love the Agatha Christie inspiration in the story and the application of the "Type Help" mechanic to a new story. Would love to see more games using the same mechanic!
Quelle histoire diabolique ! J'ai beaucoup aimé ce jeu dont l'intrigue m'a un peu fait penser à La Maison sur le Rivage de Daphnée du Maurier. Pouvoir se promener dans le passé grâce à une machine (dans le cas du jeu) et comprendre ce qu'il s'est alors passé. Ce n'était parfois pas évident, mais clairement pas impossible et le jeu n'est pas punitif pour un sou, ce que j'ai apprécié. Il faut cependant accepter d'avoir un jeu où l'on se laisse porter de scène en scène et où les interactions sont assez limitées, mais ça m'allait parfaitement. Je ne cessais de tout noter, de me poser 1000 questions et je suis vraiment enchantée d'avoir pu comprendre ce qu'il s'est passé. Il reste quelques questions, c'est certain, mais je pense que je n'aurais pas apprécié que l'on me serve tout sur un plateau d'argent, alors je saurais m'en contenter. Bref un jeu très addictif qui fait travailler les méninges et que je recommande sans hésiter !
Incroyable expérience. Ca fait vraiment longtemps qu'un jeu ne m'avait pas autant laissé bouche bée !
Great followup to Type Help!
Absolutely loved the game! It's stunning! Can't wait a new one from the same guys!
