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?

Incredibly well written and well acted. Easily one of the better 'Obra Dinn'-likes, great pacing and doesn't overstay its welcome.
Great detective game. The plot is impecable. It is really interesting. Great job

I wasn't prepared to binge like this
A well-written mystery I througly enjoyed. Great characters. Anything more would be spoilers. Just play it.
与鲁特里一家死了一样爽快的游戏体验,虽然没玩过原作但我认为全程配音和游戏系统值得这个价
C'è poco da dire di Evil Trout per ora non ne ha sbagliata una! Dopo "The Roottrees Are Dead" con questo secondo titolo ne escono ancora meglio se possibile, hanno portato ciò che di buono c'era nel loro gioco di debutto e l'hanno migliorato, levigato, smussato e pulito per farlo brillare ancora di più. Un gioco di quelli che scioglieranno le vostre celluline grigie, vi porteranno a ragionare come i vari "...The Golden Idol" o "Return of the Obra Dinn". L'unica pecca è la mancanza dell'italiano, MA, ci voleva un grosso MA, grazie ad una traduzione amatoriale adesso ne potete godere nella nostra lingua. Vi lascio un video qua sotto per mostrarvi il risultato. https://youtu.be/EuCvJ9pIrhQ
I played "Type Help" more than a year ago and have been looking forward to this version of the game ever since then. Even if you played the original this is well worth your time.
A genuinely amazing mystery/puzzle game. It does a great job of teaching you how to play intuitively and stayed fun throughout the entire play time. To me this game feels like a combination of The Roottrees and Dead and Return of the Obra Dinn. I highly recommend if you like either of those games or if you like similar games such as The Seance at Blake Manor, Cultist Simulator, or even Outer Wilds. This is definitely one of those games that you can only play for the first time once.
I loved The Roottrees are Dead, I think it was a very mechanically clever game that was a joy to play through, but was a bit lacking on some aspects. However, I think The Incident at Galley House manages to retain most of the qualities and thematics of The Roottrees are Dead, and improving on almost all it's aspects, all while changing quite radically the gameplay style, but not without success!
Great game ! If you loved Obra Dinn, you'll love this one too.
