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
I loved The Roottrees are Dead, I think it was a very mechanically clever game that was a joy to play through, but was a bit lacking on some aspects. However, I think The Incident at Galley House manages to retain most of the qualities and thematics of The Roottrees are Dead, and improving on almost all it's aspects, all while changing quite radically the gameplay style, but not without success!
我个人觉得很好玩,解密过程不难,不需要看提示就可以一步步解的程度,但又不是谜底在谜面的那种简单,还是需要思考一下,这就让人在玩的时候很有成就感,很提得起兴趣了。

A lot of fun! I was briefly stumped for a moment, mainly around scene 20, but the logic flow made sense to where once I thought about it and considered who was left I was able to figure out more points of interest to get me all the scenes filled out. I took my time with it, taking a lot of notes along the way but one could probably beat this in an afternoon if you were focused enough. Highly recommend the game to anyone that likes puzzle games with a large cast of characters.
I don't normally do reviews, but I loved this game from start to finish. The quality is better than expected and the hunting for clues was great.
Jump back in time to watch scenes play out like Obra Dinn, but you've got a machine that lets you jump to exactly where you want (even down to the exact line of dialogue) without having to watch the same transition over and over. Piece together relationships and motives like Roottrees, but it's a murder mystery instead of genealogical research. Setting reminiscent of one of the best Agatha Christie novels but with spooky stuff and a completely different cast. This one sets a new standard for detective/deduction games that really make you use your brain. I want to especially call out just how good it feels to lock in a code. You think successfully locking in three correct answers feels good in Obra Dinn/Roottrees? Try this. The UI is also excellent. There's a ton of information and they give you all the tools you need to cross-reference it by time/person/location, bookmark important parts of scenes, and take notes.
Great game ! If you loved Obra Dinn, you'll love this one too.
This game is really good if you want to sleuth your evening away
Great game. Knew nothing going in, had a great time.
This is such a brilliant detective game that has a somewhat scary story behind it. I would definitely recommend it.
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!
