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
So fun, I'm so mad that it's over. The perfect level of trickiness where it's so satisfying every time you figure something out.
Super fun deduction game! Great gameplay and puzzle flow, although the plot felt a little flat to me.
Really enjoyed this game. Has an interesting story that gets a little bit twisty, great horror-adjacent vibes, fill in the blanks detective work right out of Obra Dinn, and the character location tracking The Seance of Blake Manor in service of sussing it all out. The length also felt about right, without excessive unnecessary padding and a pretty straight forward route to full completion. I'd recommend this to fans of games like The Case of the Golden Idol, or Seance of Blake Manor in a heartbeat.
What you think is the beginning to act 3 is really the end of act 1
If you enjoy the detective/mystery genre I think this is a pretty easy recommend to check out. I thoroughly enjoyed it. For context I went in blind, not knowing anything about the older game this is based on.
Great puzzle game, fascinating story, interesting twists
Genuinely one of the best mystery games I have ever played. To say more would be spoilers. Just Play This Game.
Listen to me. There may be a point where it seems kind of grind-y and like all you're doing is filling in missing pieces. I need you to look me in the text and power through. Absolutely stellar offering from the Roottree developers and I need them to get started on the next one.
好玩支持,比原作typehelp也多了一些剧情更有代入感了!!!很喜欢这个机器的操作很复古的感觉也很方便!!!
めちゃ面白い推理ゲーム!仕掛け的なものが分かっていく過程が面白かった! 仕組みが複雑だが、整理しやすいUI?で考えることに集中できて楽しかった。
