Review: The Incident at Galley House
If there was a genre (or sub-genre) that I'd claim to be an expert on it would be the somewhat vaguely-defined narrative deduction genre, and one which will certainly have popped up on the radars of anyone who's a fan of these types of game is The Incident at Galley House, from Evil Trout Inc.
That could be for one of a couple of reasons, firstly that this is from the same team that brought us last year's The Roottrees are Dead, to overwhelmingly positive acclaim, and secondly because it is a self-professed remaster of another incredibly well-received game: Type Help.
Review: A Case of Fraud
A Case of Fraud has sort of come out of nowhere for me: I’ve made a habit of the somewhat fruitless task of scrolling through the ‘popular upcoming releases’ on Steam once a week; typically the only games which show up that I’d be interested in reviewing are ones that I was already aware of, but occasionally something appears that catches my eye. With A Case of Fraud, that was the very “Roottrees are Dead”-like screenshot that occupies the first slot on its Steam page.
For better or worse, it was only once the many many positive Steam reviews started coming in that I really sat up and paid attention to A Case of Fraud and gave it the chance it deserved.
Review: The Roottrees are Dead
In The Roottrees are Dead, the Roottrees are Dead. Namely, the President of the Roottree Corporation, his wife, and their three daughters. You’re tasked with identifying all the remaining blood relatives of the Roottree family, ostensibly to sort out the inheritance issues that might arise with the family’s untimely demise.
It’s often compared to Return of the Obra Dinn - which is likely IndieLoupe’s only five-star game... can it live up to that hype?
