Curse Mechanics — The Incident at Galley House

The Galley House curse is a inherited pact tied to the family line and the chapel (CH). It does not kill randomly — each death satisfies a rule revealed through memory scenes. Understanding mechanics is mandatory for Victim 1's slot and the final quiz.

Reya's outsider status lets her document rules without being bound until the finale — a narrative reason you can investigate freely.

Without naming culprits, rules involve: proximity to blessed objects, speaking true names aloud in CH, crossing WI gate boundaries after dark, and combining herbs from HE with library texts. Each rule appears as a curse notebook observation when you inspect the right hotspot trio.

Death order matters because later victims sometimes inherit obligations from earlier deaths — Victim 11's manner establishes pattern the game expects you to generalize by Victim 5.

The game blends "who benefited" with "what rule fired." Some deaths are indirect. Do not assume a character holding a weapon is responsible; verify curse triggers first. Pair this guide with ending logic and hard puzzles.
