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?

The most compelling mystery I've seen in a long time. Great game.
Really interesting non-linear story. A bit hard to follow at times, but worth the effort. I'd recommend playing in 1 or 2 sittings, it can be a bit hard to keep track of everything.
was rly fun thank you for making this

Masterpiece in puzzle and storytelling. Fantastic gentile hint system with no penalty which makes this approachable for anyone with curiosity. Must play, highly recommend. I won't say more, I'm afraid of remembering..
Incredible entry into the mystery genre. I've never played another game quite like Galley House, and I truly doubt I will. I didn't expect that, but holy moly. What a game. I got so much more than I expected. Very much worth playing, I'll be singing the praises of Galley House to anyone I know takes an interest in mystery games.
I played the game that this was based off of and loved it so I had to try this one as well. Lovely game! The art and voice acting were well done. Would recommend!
Incident at Galley House is a solid narrative puzzle game with an interesting mystery and some excellent voice acting. It wasn't quite what I expected going in, but I enjoyed seeing the story unfold. I completed it 100%, which took me around 15 hours since I'm not particularly good at puzzles. The puzzles are generally enjoyable, although the gameplay does become somewhat repetitive toward the end.
Amazing experience.
I play a lot of games, mostly cozy games and whatnot. I love puzzle games but often I feel like I get stumped easily and can't move forward. I also love a good supernatural/murder mystery type of theme and well, this one had it all. I was able to do the problem solving and move forward without feeling too stuck, there are ways to work through spots that you don't know the codes for and find your way. In addition, this story was amazing. My daughter came out at one point early in my first couple of hours and got interested, and she never left my side from there. It became a family game. I grabbed an HDMI and put it up on the 65" tv and we kicked back on the couch and played for two days straight until we finished the whole game. My husband walked by talking to us a couple of times only to realize he was getting nowhere because we were so enthralled in the game we weren't hearing him. It was amazing. Hands down one of the best games I've played in years. Thought I had a clue, NOPE silly me! Twists, turns, constantly watching a scene and looking at my daughter going whaaaa???? Yeah, I can't recommend this one enough. I went to work this morning raving about it and recommending it to all my game loving coworkers!
Fans of Agatha Christie and other murder mysteries, rejoice! This is a delight to play for everyone that likes a mystery to sink their teeth into. The story is intruiging, and every scene gives you just enough information to make you want to keep playing. Many of the characters have a believable well-roundedness to them, and the artwork and voice acting only make the realism of their personalities shine even more. A lovely little mystery that I'll be sure to recommend to friends of mine who like the same stuff. I will definitely be playing more of Evil Trout's games.
