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
This is a great idea for a mechanic for a detective game, where you control a machine that lets you see what happened in this house the past as long as you know the people involved, the room they were in, and when it happened, which you can deduce from other scenes you watch. Really smart, really fun. They go places with this premise too that I didn't totally expect and take some wild swings with the mystery. I think it is overall successful, but not completely satisfying. Still, one of the best games of the year so far.
I needed a hint or two, but that was really cool!

Spannend! Sehr gut gemacht! Nicht zu schwer, aber definitiv kniffelig genug. Tolles Spoilerfreies Hilfesystem, wenn es doch mal komplett hakt.
Amazing game, challenging, but with enough note-taking, you should be OK
A highly recommended mystery game! Interface is easy to get into and the story is very gripping. The mystery is a mystery and I went through several different theories before I was able to figure out what was going on. Hint system is available if you need it and gives you several nudges before revealing any answers.
The mystery and story is so good. I made sure to turn off the connections setting because I like to find stuff on my own without my hand held, and that made it so much better. I was hooked beginning to end and loved the entire experience.
Fantastic mystery game, with great vibes! Not the most difficult ever, but some of the puzzles felt a bit trial-and-error. Still would highly recommend, the best puzzle game I've played this year!
I'll unfortunately never get to play this game for the first time again. Really great. Two little things that bothers me: 1. Did it have to be so creepy? Omg I was scared anything there was a thunderclap and the power goes out. Legit was turning the wheel while looking away from my screen lmao [spoiler] And you proved me right too.[/spoiler] 2. [spoiler] Can we get extra content to find out how the remembering disease started? Why don't we ever find out what happened to Oswald and Rupert's sister? Would have been nice to flashback all the way back then. And maybe the disease started then? Or was John the reason for the disease to start?.[/spoiler]
Evil Trout hits it out of the park again
An addicting mystery horror story with a gradually building existential dread that never truly lets up and only gets worse the more you think about it. There are even things that will change right in your face as the night goes on in a way that makes the ultimate reveal make sense and immerses you [spoiler]through the fourth wall[/spoiler] into a horrible realization. It's best to experience the entirety of that on your own so I will not comment on the story at large, only that a single transcription line "[spoiler]A phone was ringing elsewhere[/spoiler]" somehow creeped the hell out of me the most. I spent most of my night playing this until I HAD to sleep and even then this is something someone can complete in a single day. It really just sucks you in like Roottrees. Must have for a mystery fan.
