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?

Absolutely captivating! I basically finished it in one sitting because you just HAVE to keep going! Has a better flow than Roottree's and the voice acting is pretty good too!
I very much enjoyed Roottrees, so I bought this game immediately when it came out. It was a more narrative experience and went deeper than you might initially expect. A suprising and gripping game with a few moments of genuine shock and revelation. Overall highly recommend. Especially if you enjoy mystery and logic games. Weakest part was probably the voice acting, no big deal. The script was very well done though, and I imagine all the testing and fine tuning of the script to make the layers of the narrative make sense was difficult to accomplish! Loved it, please make another!
Really, really, good.
Fantastic Game 10/10 for me
Probably the best narrative game Iv'e played. Only rivaled by Inscryption.
If you enjoyed Roottrees or Obra Dinn, this is a blast Try to solve a big murder mystery by listening to audio echoes of the past (using absolutely legitimate science.) Piece together the goings on by listening to clues of what happened, when and where, to give an idea of where to search next. The gameplay loop is very satisfying, I could poke a few holes in the story as I understand it but I'm not going to, I had a great time. I'll definitely check out the original Type Help
Type Help was a wonderful game that transitioned to this format extremely well. What was previously merely text on a page and a lot of reading and typing is made infinitely easier to manage with this interface. With the old game, I'd had a notepad open and was making lots of notes on who each person was, where they are at any given time, and basically had a list of all the codes as I discovered them; this game allows the player to get away with not taking quite as many since the logs are easier to manage with this visual style. I had a lot of fun with this. Anybody that needs a fun puzzler should enjoy this one.
All the great mechanics and story from Type Help in a fresh format. Plus some bonus content at the end that really ties things up nicely. Great game and I'm happy for the developer that he hooked up with a crew that could get his game on Steam where we can support him.
el juego crashea cada 3 segundos pero la verdad igual ta bueno
Galley House my beloved <3 I was surprised and satisfied with the amount of new content compared to the original Type Help, and think the way it was adapted to a more visual format was handled very well. Both versions have their merits and are worth checking out!
