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

Oh boy, whirlwind of excellent deduction and sleuthing with a great mystery being underpinned. Took me just over 11 hours to fully complete, and it's an absolute joy throughout. I'd recommend savouring this one. Much like Obra Dinn, you can only play it once!
So far, this is a team to watch! I loved The Roottree's and I LOVE THIS GAME! I would love to see more of these mystery puzzle solving games. It's interesting and challenging enought without feeling too easy or too hard - it's just right.

I love British mystery books and shows, and period pieces, so this was a perfect game for me. I'm newer to games so the level of difficulty was good as well. I needed some hints but not enough to be overly frustrated. I played over three days and needed to take yoga breaks to de-shrimpify my body.
Absolutely OBSESSED with Evil Trout Inc. games!! I got this as a gift because the giver knew how much I loved The Roottrees Are Dead, and omg this gives me the exact same feelings while playing, but with audio instead. Massive fan, cannot recommend enough, and try to go in as blind as possible.
程よい長さで満足感ある作品。謎解きが好きな人におすすめ。 過去の場面を覗ける霊的な機械装置を使って登場人物の名前や居場所を演繹的な推理で探っていく。 得られるヒントを基に真相に迫っていく過程が面白い。 「何が起こっているんだ?」という状況から、事件の仕掛けに気づき始め、伏線回収しつつエンディングに向かっていくのが気持ちいい。 [spoiler]最近はやけに雷が多い。[/spoiler]
Wonderful improvement over the original game. The voice acting is superb and the narrative s incredibly well built.
第一次尝试推理解谜,好玩!希望能出前传,把加利一家之前的两个家族也给做了!
Absolutely superb remake of a text-based mystery puzzle game. The visual and audio presentation elevates what's already a compelling story, and the developers of this remake have managed to turn a game that revolved around clicking and entering text into a box into an experience that works perfectly for controllers as well. If you're at all interested in this type of game, it's an easy recommend. If you're wondering which you should play first, I would recommend starting with this one and playing the original afterwards if you feel like it because the knowledge you'd have from playing Type Help would let you bypass many of the interesting additions to the remake. Played through entirely on Steam Deck, no performance issues and as mentioned the interface is well-designed for controller. Nothing permanently missable in terms of achievements or story, and the game saves whenever you make progress so it's very amenable to short sessions or sporadic play. There are note-taking features built into the game so manual note-taking is completely optional, although I chose to take hand-written notes as I normally do for this sort of game.
玩到一半的时候忽然get到了这个连环死亡的关键因素 好好玩啊! 后面才知道是type help的改编 喜欢喜欢,爱玩!
I absolutely love the mechanics of this game. A very simple straightforward brain twister. Not even halfway through and many hours in and im loving every aspect of this game, mystery and characters!
