The Incident At Galley House review – an enthralling deduction game that can't escape the genre's classic problem
The Incident At Galley House is an enthralling deduction game that uses a unique machine to let players piece together a murder mystery from 1936. While the early hours are captivating, the gameplay can become methodical and tedious as players focus on filling in the timeline. The game improves upon its text-based predecessor, Type Help, by automating administrative tasks and adding visual elements, though it shares a common genre pitfall of late-game pacing issues.
