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?

Wow! Deuxième banger d'affilée après 'The Roottrees are Dead' Mécaniques complètement différentes, mais toujours de la déduction pure sans tenir la main au joueur une seule seconde, et pourtant tout se reconstruit naturellement sans aucune frustration. Sûrement un peu plus facile que Roottrees, principalement parce qu'il y a moins de sources d'informations, mais quel scénario ! Un chef-d'oeuvre. Tout simplement. Un de plus pour Evil Trout. PS: joué en version native Linux, aucun souci technique.
第一次接触这类解谜,只能说大开眼界,惊叹不已。 整个流程唯一困扰我的是win11自带的中文输入法,打笔记时偶尔会令屏幕闪白一下。折腾好久,发现只有窗口模式能解决,估计是全屏设置和中文输入法有些冲突
Really cool mystery game and a very novel story as well. It had an interesting difficulty curve, with the sort of early-to-mid game being hard, then it became sort of easy in the mid-to-late game, then became hard again in the late game. --- Spoilers from here --- My only real complaint is that the ending doesn't really resolve the mystery, but just leaves it as a "we'll never find out" kind of thing. The twist with going to the present time and watching yourself play the game is really clever and super meta in a delicious way. 9/10 would recommend
Wonderful mystery game that's already spawned a handful of amazing homages. Worth it for any puzzle lover, and brings in surprises for fans of the original text-based game.
If you enjoyed roottrees are dead, you’ll enjoy this too! It’s a similar gameplay loop. Also gives vibes of the seance at Blake manor (play this too if you haven’t!) I’m almost 4 hours in and I’m sad I have to go to bed for work tomorrow. Excited to see where the story goes!
Puzzle game of the century incredible writing incredible voice acting and genuinely existentially terrifying plot
补票神作,看得出制作团队非常用心,显示器的设计很巧妙,添加配音、音效、画面、地图之后,能够帮助玩家更快理解游戏,本地化翻译更是一如既往地锦上添花。 以下是主观缺点: ①转场动画看多很累。 ②似乎没有对原作进行内容改编,也就意味着游戏时间会大大缩短。(原作只需要10h左右甚至更快就可以通关) ③定价过高,本作和鲁特里定价相同,内容体量却差距过大。 ④[spoiler]英俊的壮小伙并不英俊……[/spoiler] 总之,如果是和我一样非常喜欢typehelp的玩家,就当作支持作者了。
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!
el juego crashea cada 3 segundos pero la verdad igual ta bueno
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.
