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?
The Chilling Detective Game, Reimagined on Steam
The Incident at Galley House is based on the acclaimed text-based browser game Type Help, remastered for Steam by the creators of The Roottrees Are Dead. It's the same haunting game of deduction, now with many enhancements:
An all-new, fully illustrated visual novel presentation
Full professional voice acting
A mysterious 3D interface for navigating memories
An eerie original soundtrack
New content and puzzles to explore

Reviews
A well-written mystery I througly enjoyed. Great characters. Anything more would be spoilers. Just play it.
Such a cool concept for a game. I loved the Roottrees are Dead, and while similar in a "mystery" sense, they are very different games. Without giving too much away, you are at an abandoned house looking into mysterious deaths that have been occurring. There's a machine set up for you upon your arrival that allows you to look back and view certain points in time as if they were playing out right in front of you. Using clues about what is said in each scene, you have to piece together who was in what room at what time to find more scenes and figure out what really happened. It's an incredible game, I wish I could experience it for the first time again.

I loved the game, on the surface its just a game about piecing together a timeline but the story and characters take it to the next level. Everything is organized well and there is a built in hints page so you an stay immersed even when you are stuck. The story is very good I just wish there was more.
Chef's kiss! What an amazing game that takes a simple game mechanic and turns it into a completely riveting, addictive, smart, beautiful, and heartbreaking game. I can't wait to replay it again soon - perfection.
A little on the easy side for games like this but it's just so damn cool. Very satisfying to piece it all together
没玩过原作,但感觉确实是非常有诚意的重制了,通灵部分基本可以当全配音的视觉小说看了,而且大大夸赞汉化大佬,从鲁特里开始就没让人失望过,汉化质量满分。原作这个剧本也是非常的优秀,第一次悟出来规则的时候堪比罗辑顿悟黑暗森林法则,非常不错的“尤里卡”时刻,而且重制版还补充了调查员小队的故事,剧情更完整了,属于是刺客信条现代剧情梦想中的自己了()
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.
Evil Trout has done it again. As a fan of the Roottrees Are Dead this offered a nice twist on the "guess who" gameplay models that Obra Dinn initially inspired. Atmospheric, tells a great story, and respects fans of prior work with a little discount (and hey if you didn't play that one you get two games and a kickass DLC on the cheap!). If you like puzzle games in the vein of the Golden Idol series I believe this is definitely one that will satisfy a similar urge, so why not see what's going on with Rupert Galley?
Worth every penny. 100% and I honestly wish I had more.
Great detective game. The plot is impecable. It is really interesting. Great job
