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?

Fun and inruging story! Imho feels slightly worse compared to Rootrrees due to smaller scope of story and already knowing that all characters are dead. But great voice acting and seeing how it all come to be still makes it feel worth expiriencing

実績もすべて解除しましたが、とても面白いゲームです。 例えるなら、Return of the Obra Dinnとアガサクリスティの「そして誰もいなくなった」を掛け合わせてさらに面白くした感じです。 進めるにつれてなぜ死んだのか、なぜこのような言動をしていたのかがどんどん解明されます。映画やミステリー小説を楽しんでいるかのように没頭してプレイしていました。 値段以上に楽しませていただいた気分です。日本語訳もとても自然です。新作が出たらまた購入したいです。
This is truly an amazing game! I love all the game play experience and puzzle setup, everything is well connected and the flows smoothly. [spoiler] I got a little bit confused at the ending and was hoping there will come more background story [/spoiler], but overall I love it!
Great detective game! On a par with Golden Idol and even comes close to the rarified air of Obra Dinn. Give it a shot!
Incredible game. Dev is 2 for 2 on great games.
Great game with the same vibe as Obra Dinn and RottenTree are Dead games. Not as difficult, but the story is cool and I felt smart.
Great game.
Very interesting and enjoyable puzzle game! The mystery kept me guessing until the very end and had some very compelling twists along the way.
