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
One of the best puzzle mystery games. Imagine the feeling in Clue when you try and solve with "Who, where, and with what weapon". That is the feeling over and over again throughout this game but its "Who, where, and WHEN". Could not out the game down until everything was solved
Great puzzle game
制作很精良,但请各位推理迷购买前注意:这不是本格推理题!

好玩!从红珍珠了解到的游戏类型,推理感很强,把信息都填满的时候很有成就感!虽说后半部分的反转较少,但整体的悬疑氛围把控得还是很不错的,玩的时候有点心惊胆战。
The more you paly the more confusions will be solved. And yet, more confused you'll get until the end. The story is pretty good, but too bad the final answer is not quite impressive.
Two important tips: 1) Do not click and drag the dial to change the timestamp, just use the left and right arrow keys 2) Type Help players: Yes, they added more content over and above the story of Type Help, although one thing from the original didn't make it over ([spoiler]Richard Longley, his little editorials, and his hidden works[/spoiler]). For newcomers, this is effectively a mystery visual novel where you unlock more scenes by deducing the links between scenes. If you liked The Roottrees Are Dead and don't mind working with much more text than pictures, you will like this. You can expect 8-16 hours of play (shorter end is if you click through the voice acted scenes instead of listening to them, you're a fast reader, and you're good with details). The game includes a built-in hint system and there is no penalty for using it.
Great game
Fantastic game. Sad to be finished
It's rare that I find a game that grips me such that I struggle to put it down until I finish it. The Incident at Galley House is such a wonderfully written story that I wish I could play it for the first time again.
Another fantastic mystery game. It was hard to convince myself to take breaks when I got in to the flow of it. I highly recomend it! And if you haven't already check out their other game, Thee Roottrees Are Dead
