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?

Oh My Gosh. I played their Roottree game and bought this one as soon as it came out. 9 hours later, I've 100% completed the game and I wasn't disappointed. The flow of this game was fantastic. I wasn't floundering around for obscure clues like with The Roottrees are Dead. The storyline was great! Kept you wondering for a while before you start to realize what's going on, and then you're crying as you know what's coming. I loved it, every second.
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。

一群人在雨夜被迫困在封闭环境中逐个死去,游戏的开始立刻让我联想到了电影《致命ID》,直到死了几个人才发现不是本格推理。发现是变格的这一刻真相就接近水落石出了,开始从观察者变成全知视角。没想到游戏还运用了一点叙事诡计,结尾升华了一下主题。精彩,实在是太精彩了。很喜欢这种需要做笔记的推理游戏,13小时0提示通关,完全get到了各种情节的环环相扣,一点点解开谜团非常有成就感。通关后欢快的钢琴曲不禁让人感到悲凉,生日快乐,鲁伯特先生。
The story is a masterfully tied knot and it's cleverer than you. Elevated further by a fantastic UI; just great all around.
This is without a doubt the best mystery game on steam at the moment. However, saying any thing else will spoil the story. Go in as blind as possible and enjoy the ride.
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.
Highly recommend! I played the original (Type Help). I loved the original, and equally love this remake. Great detective deduction game for Obra Dinn and Rootttrees fans. Amazing storyline with an amazing mystery. Without spoiling anything, they added enough extra stuff to it for people who have played the original to play this remake.
This is just as engaging and all-consuming as The Roottrees Are Dead, the previous game by this developer. If you liked that game, or enjoy deduction/puzzle games, give this a try. And if you haven't played The Roottrees are Dead, you should get on that.
while I wouldn't say this was a bad game, it wasn't good either. I really wanted to like this game, I loved the rootrees are dead, however this just didn't do it for me. The gameplay loop is incredibly repetitive, difficult in a way that is time consuming and a little vague, but not satisfying. I finished the game very quickly, the rootrees are dead took me a lot longer to think things through. It was pretty obvious who everyone was very early on, and what was happening, I was less than half way through. The game looks good and the actual game runs just fine. I just couldn't say this was an enjoyable game, which is a great shame. There something about the lack of proper closure for the events that is disappointing, we have no idea why the things are happening. SPOLIERS: I also felt like the ending was a bit.... confusing? I feel like based on the established rules the player character shouldn't have survived. Yes, we didn't know the man who died in the final act, but we did know all of our colleagues.
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.
