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
What a treat! This game is a focus, narrative puzzle game that involves solving a mystery through a non-linear timeline. Honestly closer to Obra Dinn than Roottrees, but certainly up there in terms of the quality of the puzzlebox. It does get a hair long in the tooth if you're trying to solve for every scene, but it's quite masterful in the organic hint layout and breadcrumb trail for solving the puzzle. The latter half of the game is quite surprising and extremely engaging. I do wish that some of the animations were taken just a hair further (such as having sitting and laying poses for the character models), but they do a well enough job conveying the ideas needed to get you deep into the puzzle-solving process. Certainly recommended!
Played a little bit of Type Help waiting for this game to be released. This game is a nice graphical adaptation of the web app. Captivating story, couldn't guess what was going to happen. Took about 11 hours to complete. As someone with limited mobility, I appreciated the accessibility of the game controls. Highly recommended!

This game is amazing
One of the best detective puzzle games out there. On par with "The Roottrees are Dead" (same developer!) & "Return of the Obra Dinn" Can't wait for the next project by this studio
love detectives! this story is pretty much interesting even if you're not in [spoiler] supernatural-ish [/spoiler] stuff. made beautifully. voice acting is astonishing, really. deducting method at first was a bit confusing but i quickly get it and [when]-[where]-[who] method on machine became easy to use. the first part was amazing, 'classic' in a way, but good, second part - pleasantly dramatic.
Finished it, I liked it.
Peut-être le meilleur jeu d'enquête auquel j'ai pu jouer ! J'avais adoré Type Help, cette édition conserve toutes ses forces, et le sublime avec un enrobage de bonne facture et une excellente UX. Le concept est simple, mais extrêmement gratifiant. Le récit quant à lui est extrêmement haletant, tout en racontant plein choses. C'est brillant du début à la fin.
Interesting and satisfying puzzle solving.
好玩
