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
Nice deduction game combined with both <The Return of Obra Dinn> and <The Roottrees are Dead>. Nice narrative tricks infused with super-nature power as well as its mechanics being used for deduction
Jump back in time to watch scenes play out like Obra Dinn, but you've got a machine that lets you jump to exactly where you want (even down to the exact line of dialogue) without having to watch the same transition over and over. Piece together relationships and motives like Roottrees, but it's a murder mystery instead of genealogical research. Setting reminiscent of one of the best Agatha Christie novels but with spooky stuff and a completely different cast. This one sets a new standard for detective/deduction games that really make you use your brain. I want to especially call out just how good it feels to lock in a code. You think successfully locking in three correct answers feels good in Obra Dinn/Roottrees? Try this. The UI is also excellent. There's a ton of information and they give you all the tools you need to cross-reference it by time/person/location, bookmark important parts of scenes, and take notes.

A little on the easy side for games like this but it's just so damn cool. Very satisfying to piece it all together
玩了这游戏变成甄嬛了——[spoiler] 看到打雷就害怕 [/spoiler]
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.
An outstanding game in its genre. The voice acting is excellent, and every reveal leaves you eager to see what's next. It's one of those games that's incredibly hard to stop playing.
Excellent investigation game with a few great twists. Easy recommend if you liked games like Her Story and Roottrees are dead. Played on the steam deck with a keyboard and mouse, also playable with a gamepad.
Do you love “& then there were none”? Coincidentally, I just watched a reimagining of the play recently and that spurred my decision to buy this game day one. My track record: I’m a huge sucker for these puzzle games (Return of the Obra Dinn / Rootrees are Dead / Lorelei & The Laser Eyes / Case of the Golden Idol ) I had not touch the original “Type Help” text-based game at all. But you know what’s the testament for how much I loved it? Whilst I was out on my workday, I couldn’t stop thinking about Galley House and started up “Type Help” to get me through my morbid curiosity. Those small ‘tests’ helped to solidify some of my theories and I rushed home to see the full scene in the Galley House. This is a game that needs you to be crystal clear on the order in which things happen and to latch on to conversational nuggets. It’s not hard and does lack a quantity of ‘a-ha’ moments. But the light bulb moments… they do shine bright. One of the biggest ones is a huge deviation from the original ‘Type Help’ so I still strongly recommend original players to come and try the remake!
12/11 no notes.
Great mystery game, think Obra Dinn but with less people that all keep moving around.
