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
This was a captivating puzzle game. Both my mind and body were fully absorbed into this game from the voice acting and dialogue to the scenery, design, and general atmosphere. Literally played this game in an empty house during a thunderstorm and jumped at the sound of concurrent thunderclaps. I highly recommend this game to any puzzle game enjoyer; you won't stop until you discover all the house has to offer.
没打type help直接来的,体验还是不错的。因为操作相近,猜测原版游戏会有类似婆罗洲的繁琐输入,在本重制版输入的优化很不错。 如果已经玩过了type help,感觉没必要急着打重制版。 至于很多人差评的点在于“以为是暴风雪山庄,结果是[spoiler] 非本格 [/spoiler]”的问题,只能说,游戏已经不是暗示而是在很前期就明示了吧?也没有任何宣发说其是本格推理。这个指责未免有些无端。

前期挺好玩的,中期猜到谜底更是期待后续,打完结局,我就只剩下无语了 [spoiler] 我中间知道这是个灵异事件,想起记忆,打雷死亡,后面我就一直在期待主角调查员是不是要从这些记忆里面找到问题的根源,以及解决的方法。特别是到后面调查员篇的时候,我真的以为终于要开始解释为什么会出现这样的事,这个打雷灵异事件的起源是什么,以及最终的解决方案。结果就是厄尔文莫名其妙的讲了一堆我完全没搞懂的事,然后就说自己是英雄,结束了这个灵异事件。我当时看他解释,真的是满脑子问号。大哥你到底说的啥玩意啊,讲的好像很厉害,但是完全没解释通啊。总结就是无语,超级无语 [/spoiler]
Well written puzzles, Engaging. In parts creepy, but not really scary. A singular "jump scare" which is very mild. Don't let that put you off.
The story is a masterfully tied knot and it's cleverer than you. Elevated further by a fantastic UI; just great all around.
Fantastic murder mystery writing layered like an exquisite BLT- complete with deliciously complementary family drama, light sci-fi buffoonery, inventive twists, and madly entertaining characters and dialogue. I big ♥♥♥♥ with this great lil narrative experience and I think you should too.
5小时全成就通关。对于从未玩过Type Help的玩家,这将会是你难忘的一段解密经历。但对于此前玩过Type Help的玩家,只能祈祷自己失忆了,另外新增的一部分内容是将原版游戏中未展开的调查员小队的故事予以的扩充,感谢补全了他们的故事,并对他们的牺牲致敬。
A truly amazing deduction game, that will surprise with its cleverness. A must have if you enjoy the likes of the Roottrees are Dead or the Golden Idol.
That was so good! Such an intriguing and creative plot! The game is just about the right difficulty to make it not frustratingly obtuse or mind numbingly obvious. Voice acting and sound design was really high quality throughout. UI was mostly really good and the seance machine feels really nice and intuitive to use, reminds me of a high-tech "Guess Who?" board. My only minor gripe with the UI was that I would have liked to be able to mark timeframes with more than two reminders. The twist near the end was great! Strongly recommend this for any fans of detective and mystery games! And after two smash hits with The Roottrees are Dead and now this I'm really excited to see what William and Evil Trout will release next!
I thoroughly enjoyed this game. Proly 10 of the most fun hours I've had in quite some time. The story was creative and had me locked in. The controls were simple and intuitive. I could have avoided clues if I had read a little more closely but the entire thing ran so smoothly and I loved the writing. I lost count of how many times I would say "wait, why would she say that, what the hell?" only to have two scenes later spell it out for me. Absolutely great work on this. Highly recommend!
