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?

This is a great puzzler! There's a real sense of satisfaction when you figure out something, but you can use the hint system without any penalty if you need any help. I highly recommend using the in-game notetaking system to keep track of everything.
Exceptional game. My wife and I played their first game, The Roottrees are Dead. We really enjoyed and decided to give this one a try as soon as it came out. What an experience. Just play it for yourself.

Pro: + The incident at Galley House has some of the best writing currently on the market, be it the overall INCREDIBLE story, the characters, each of them memorable, with distinct, well defined personalities or the overall 'lore' around what happens in the house, its all 11/10 + The Mistery its so enthralling that it will grab you the moment you read the sentence 'What happened really?' near the photo of the house and will not leave you even after the end credits + The mechanic of the 'machine' you find yourself using are addicting to say the least, thanks to the masterpiece of a story you find yourself in, it is impossible to resist the urge to to pull that lever one more time + The most perfect blend of Mistery and Horror i've seen in any narrative ever, its just pristine in execution Con: Can't think of any, really... The Incident at Galley House has been one of the most incredible surprises of this year, a game that i have no problem in calling a masterpiece and for the sake of every mistery lover i will say no more but play it, just play it and you will never regret it, just make sure you get into it completely blind, don't read about it, don't check comments on it, don't watch any playtrough...go completely blind. Must play for every mistery and horror lover 10/10
One of the best deduction games since Return of the Obra Dinn
通宵打完了。 爽。 剧情某种意义上还挺温馨的(不是)。 就是一开始看房间代码以为是英文缩写,想着这汉化不够全面啊,纠结了几个词之后发现是拼音……嗯这有点太全面了!!! [spoiler]新手指引不是很友好,但是能对上剧情,所以好评。[/spoiler]
Amazingly fun game. Story was gripping and powerful. All of the scene connections were relatively easy to figure out, and the twists were brilliantly done. I can't remember anything else that you'd want to know before buying this game.
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
if you love puzzles, this is a great one.
Great detective game. The plot is impecable. It is really interesting. Great job
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。
