The Incident at Galley House

You know it's a special game where you're just clicking and watching things but have a strong 'just one more' urge every time you make progress. Sublime.

说实话可能我比较胆小，一开始就做了很久的心理建设，才鼓起勇气推开门…… 整个过程中，虽然也有情景、音乐、音效的加成，但主要还是剧情，这种层层推进的、越是意识到发生了什么事、怎么发生的这些事，越感到恐慌的心理太引人入胜了我说……又害怕又忍不住一直一直一直往下推。 时间线切换之后恐慌感就更上一层……[spoiler] 总觉得我不会也成为游戏里的一环了吧……………… [/spoiler] 但是，当来到最后一个场景后，恐慌感骤然消散，甚至感到震撼……文本写得太好了，前面是身临其境的恐惧，[spoiler] 现在是身临其境的悲伤和孤寂 [/spoiler]唉。 最后落在一切故事开始之前的温馨场景上，让人忍不住会心一笑，但想到故事开始后，众人之间所发生的一切争吵、猜忌、对抗和不幸，又忍不住发出一声叹息。 总之很推荐。[strike] 虽然有的角色真的有点莫名其妙这里就不点名了（ [/strike]

I came into this game from "type help", which I loved. This is a strictly better version in my opinion, a wonderful puzzle game with lots of unique ideas and a central discovery mechanic that I haven't seen elsewhere, aside from maybe TR-49. If you like puzzles, you'll likely like this; it's a wonderful clockwork watch of a game, with lots of interlinking parts and careful construction.

One of the best deduction games since Return of the Obra Dinn

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!

Just absolutely phenomenal. I never played Type Help as when I discovered Roottrees, I wanted to save my playthrough for this remake. I realise that Red Pearls of Borneo follows the design of this game, and what a wonderful game this was! A proper deduction and logic game that scratched that itch I've been waiting for since Roottrees. Well done again!

Sat up in my seat as soon as i saw it was from the developers of the roottrees are dead. By a longshot they have outdone themselves. Often mystery games suffer from having your attention wane as the game progresses. The incident at galley house does not suffer from this, was locked in the moment i started up until its end.Havent felt this sense of intrigue since return of the obra dinn. Highly recommend as a must play for 2026.
