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?

As good as Obra Dinn, Golden Idol or Rootrees are dead. If you like this kind of game, it's one of the bests.
did NOT dissaopoint, lovet the roottrees are dead and now i love thi just as much. Cant wait to see what else the developers are making!!!
Awesome game!
好玩。和婆罗洲的红珍珠同一玩法,不过不管是系统还是剧情发展都更加优秀。 可惜的是最终的解答不太能看作是推理作品的解答。以及这类游戏的通病,中盘过后人物和场景都在大幅减少,游戏趣味性直线下降。可以说制作组已经在努力在游戏后期加入更多惊喜了,但仍然略显仓促。 但是总而言之还是很好玩,考虑到体量,更推荐打折时购入。
I enjoyed this very much. The story and nature of the mystery was very good and it had a few surprising twists. I did feel that one of the puzzles was unfair and I don't think I would have gotten it without a hint. [spoiler]I think a little more detail in the instruction sheet on manually entering new people into the machine would have cleared it up, I knew what I needed to do just not how to do it.[/spoiler]

This was absolutely brilliant. I loved Type Help, and the improvements here made it shine even more. Loved the additionial content.
Really well done. I guess to get this part out of the way - this is an adaptation of Type Help, so if you've already played that, a big chunk of this game is a carbon copy of that, but with visuals. I knew it was an adaptation going in, and I'm not sure what I was expecting exactly, but was still a little disappointed to just be solving the same puzzle again at the start. Having said that, no spoilers, but several other new dimensions were added to the later stages that were genuinely very good. So if you've played Type Help already, it's worth it. And if you haven't, it's double worth it.
Not quite as good as "The Roottrees are Dead" but still very fun and interesting. SPOILER: [spoiler]What is Tony's real name?? Is it just a red herring? and who is Longley?? (From the HE-L-P achievement)[/spoiler]
