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?

I am a fan of the free release of Type Help and was very much looking forward to playing the remake. The voice acting and artwork adds a lot to the immersion, and I enjoyed the added content. It does follow generally the same plot progression, so if you have played Type Help there won't be any surprises there (for the most part...) However it's still an excellent deduction puzzle game with a compelling story and great twists. Highly recommended :)
A solid detective game with a great story and amazing voice acting.
God, what an incredible game. I love detective games, and this is finally one that really doesn't fall into any of the pitfalls that other detective games end up in. I don't wanna say anything other than that; if you love detective games, and the gimmicky machine doesn't put you off, then you're gonna love this game.
Otra gran forma de resolver puzzles e ir uniendo pistas, el final fue mucho mejor de lo que esperaba.
Un jeu d'enquête incroyable au niveau d'Obra Dinn et des Rootrees Et à la fois, une expérience immersive parfaitement bien menée qui ne cesse de surprendre. Bravo pour cet excellente oeuvre qui sort complètement du cadre classique d'un jeu vidéo ! J'ai eu la sensation d'être dans un théâtre interactif où j'ai été directement acteur. Une vraie prouesse !!!
William Rous is a MAD GENIOUS! It was insanely fun to discover every last thing in this game. The writing is pure flex in narrative joggling. Acting is great, atmosphere just right. Absolute recommendation to everyone who likes detective games of any kind!
Это было круто! Любителям детективных головоломок к прохождению обязательно!
Fantastic deductive mystery game, not that surprising given that it's from the same people who gave us The Roottrees are Dead, but they have delivered another solid hit here. Scratches a specific itch in the same way as the aforementioned Roottrees and the equally as amazing Obra Dinn.
Very good
a great combination of all my favorite things: a cursed family, an evil house, and a player piano
