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?

Reviews
Type help was one of my favourite mystery games I've played. And this rendition of it is incredible. It is a great way to (re)experience the original with some extras added for those who already played it. Highly recommended if you love any mystery/detective games.
Best detective game since Obra Dinn

Absolutely lovly game!! Such a tragic story- and honestly this is a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ Horror game the concept is terrifying- 10/10 do recommend! Just don't go into it expectin it to be like a normal murder mystery. You're usin a magic machine to look into the past. Of course it's not a normal basic murder mustery. I honestly loved the ending, and I hope there's more content- like comic books or somethin showin the past! Would love to see more of the lore not fully shown an only hinted at! Hint system is also pretty great, I'm glad there's no punishment or limited amount of hints you can have- really helps with making sure I experienced all the game had to offer! 100%ed the game and got all 15/15 achievements. Took me about 2 days to get to the end scene, 1-2ish more just to wrap up.
I bought this to be nice, as a way of saying "thanks" for one of the best computer games I've ever played in my life. Then I fired it up, just because it feels weird to buy a game and not at least start it. Now I can't put it down. I was skeptical of the UI overhaul but it's perfect. It manages to keep all the good bits from the text version while adding in QOL improvements and fun new layers. And the story itself is such that it's actually really satisfying to replay, knowing everything you wind up knowing after the first time. In short, dang. Nice work everyone, hope this blows up like Roottrees.
中度烧脑轻量级变格推理游戏,这时间回溯的玩法和推进节奏做得太棒了,剧情非常精彩,大结局也很感动,真的,太令人怅然若失了。
Honestly, the voice acting was amazing and the game had several moments of "AH HA!" I loved it. Definitely recommend and while the theme is a little spooky at times, there isn't any true "scares", so you're safe.
I loved The Roottrees are Dead but I ADORE The Incident at Galley House. I feel that a lot of deduction games lose steam toward the end once the mystery has more or less worn off, but Galley House hit me with new realizations over and over again. When I would think I'd reached a plothole, I almost always managed to reach answer later. It's a great game and very satisfying to play!
Great game. Some similarities to both Obra Dinn and Roottrees are Dead. No spoilers, but the second half really kicked my whole impression of the game up a notch.
It is very impressive that the developers constantly hit the sweet spot where we can get just enough info to push the progress forward, but no so much that makes the game too easy.
Hooked me. Couldn't put it down. Solid twists.
