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
Overall: 5/10 - Worth a Weekend Story: 5/10 World: 5/10 Bosses: n/a Gameplay: 6/10 Difficulty: 5/10 The main draw of this game is the deductive puzzles. The story and gameplay are nothing particularly special, but the main enjoyment comes from piecing together the main mystery. It gets a little stale quicker then I would like, but its a short enough game that it didnt keep me from having fun.
A well-written mystery I througly enjoyed. Great characters. Anything more would be spoilers. Just play it.

I bought this to be nice, as a way of saying "thanks" for one of the best computer games I've ever played in my life. Then I fired it up, just because it feels weird to buy a game and not at least start it. Now I can't put it down. I was skeptical of the UI overhaul but it's perfect. It manages to keep all the good bits from the text version while adding in QOL improvements and fun new layers. And the story itself is such that it's actually really satisfying to replay, knowing everything you wind up knowing after the first time. In short, dang. Nice work everyone, hope this blows up like Roottrees.
Proud to say I assigned all the avatars accurately near the start of the game. Good, subtle cues were provided, such as "...posh woman." Great game to whittle away the hours—really scratches your brain itch and keeps you focussed. Every person can be accounted for at every scene, so bear this in mind. You should be able to get through the game without requesting for hints, but after a while I got too lazy to constantly double-check the dialogue history and occasionally used the function to confirm my guess, which more or less would be in the same direction. Act 2 (if I could call it that) I found a little more challenging than Act 1, actually. For those worried about achievements, the game means it—there is no penalty to using the hint function, so use away.
Absolutely fantastic detective game that requires good deductive skills. The story and the main mystery itself was a nice surprise, finding the explanation caused a big AHA moment where suddenly everything clicked and made sense.
[h2] 절대 그 시체에 대해 궁금해 하지마. 이름도 떠올리지마. [/h2] 내 인생 갓-겜 오브라딘호가 생각나는 갓추리게임. 과거에 벌어진 사건들을 하나씩 추적해가며 등장인물들과, 행동들의 시간 순서를 맞춰가는 게임인데, 사실 "추리"적인 요소는 반전 이전까지 [i]이게뭐야...? → 엥 왜저래 → 아? → 아!!!! [/i] 까지만 적용되는 듯 하고, 어느 순간 부터는 각 인물을 쫓아다니며 스토킹을 하는 짜맞추기 요소가 더 많다. 스토리에 몰입하며 빠지고 싶은 사람들에게 너무 추천하고 싶은 게임 ! 반전요소를 사랑하는 나 같은 사람이라면 이 게임과 사랑에 빠질 수 있음 ! 단, 주의할 점은 [spoiler] 초자연적인 요소 [/spoiler](약스포일러)와 같은 키워드가 있으므로.. 호불호는 조금 있을 것.

游戏值得一玩,但是如果你和我一样期待的是一场酣畅淋漓的推理,一场豪门吃瓜大会,一个剧本杀代餐,那你会失望,因为说是“悬案”其实根本就没有“案”可言。
The developers of this game did it a disservice by using a colour palette and graphics style that too closely resemble the multitude of hidden object games. Make no mistake, this game is not a hidden objects game. It's a deduction game in the style of The Roottress are Dead, Return of the Obra Dinn and The Golden Idol, and it's on par with the two latter, and it frankly surpasses the former. The less you know, the better. In short, your task is to place a large gallery of characters at the right place at the right time by listening to their conversations and gathering clues as to their previous and future whereabouts. Doing so unlocks more conversations, giving you more clues. Of course, being a good deduction game, you won't get all the answers handed to you, but must instead piece different snippets of conversation together. Storywise, this game is much more cohesive than both Golden Idol and Obra Dinn, and it's a story that gripped and left me with plenty of questions and wtf-moments as I played. My only negative remark is that the most astounding reveals came a bit too early, while the final reveals felt lackluster compared to them. A deduction game that will most likely reach classic status, definitely a must buy for deduction fans out there.
Had an absolutely great time getting this cleared across 3 nights. Played on Steam Machine on the couch and it was great! Busting out a pencil and paper and testing theories and seeing some of them payoff is a big treat.
if you love puzzles, this is a great one.
