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
Very well done with great graphics and audio recordings for all dialogues. This is a "here's a timeline, list of people and locations, now figure out where everybody is at any given time" kind of game. But on the downsides there is not a lot of detective work going on here, mostly people will say where they were or where they are going which directly unlocks more scenes, etc... there is a supernatural theme underlying the whole story which makes it even more difficult to do deductions since the player will not really understand what rules are at play here. This is still a fun game even though I wish it was more about detective work. oh, why are the characters not drawn when sitted or lying in bed? That was very odd.
Wow - Talk about worth every penny. The incident at Galley House is is a brilliant mix of Obra Dinn, Roottrees are dead & TR-49. It has fantastic vibes, real jaw dropping twists of investigation, smooth simple gameplay with all the tools you need, great performances and writing. One of the very best investigation/mystery games out there and rockets up right behind Obra Dinn for me. P.S - Shoutout to the sound design team - amazing work!

My wife and I have been playing The Incident at Galley House and we love it so far! Very much in the vein of games like Return of the Obra Dinn, Her Story, The Roottrees Are Dead, and the Golden Idol series. Galley House has a very fun mechanic where you nonlinearly trace each suspect's whereabouts through a mansion over the course of a night. I particularly enjoy the nonlinear aspect, it constantly feels like we are getting stuck and then having breakthroughs as we find new information that opens up a huge range of new options. Along with that, the visuals have the same hand-drawn feel as The Roottrees (and, in the age of generative AI, it's refreshing to see human-made visuals with a genuine art style!). TL;DR: This is Golden Idol meets Agatha Christie, in the best way!
Fun game. I enjoyed the story,
높은 몰입도와 쉬운 가이드로 장르팬이 아님에도 켠왕을 해버림
Really enjoyed the gameplay here, very creative. I completed it within a day and couldn't get enough!
Incredible puzzle game with great foreshadowing.
Great game. I was quite skeptical looking at the art. But story is remarkable! And art actually fits very well. Hope devs will add other langs to the game so more people could enjoy this fascinating story
