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?

[b] Amazing game! [/b] The core concept itself is cool but I would have loved a more realistic detective murder mystery come out of that rather than a "supernatural" story even if it's this light. Sort of more like Roottrees not that I mind this one as a one of. All in all great stuff and I can't wait for next detective games. Hope there will be many more to come!

Great deduction/mystery game!
I received a press copy of the game for free, but I massively enjoyed my experience and recommend this game if you enjoy deduction/mystery games! These are really my version of a cozy game - I love getting completely absorbed into these stories and working to organize notes and understand each aspect of the story to sift through important details. I didn't play the original Type Help, but from what I understand reading through comments, the story has been essentially unchanged. I enjoyed the mechanics of the game - it's presented as sort of a visual novel style, but I enjoyed that it was fully voice acted. I found it challenging enough at certain points to really make the moments where I figured things out very satisfying. I played through this game pretty continuously until I finished it, because I thought the story was very interesting and I always felt like I was right on the edge of discovering a secret. Sometimes it's kinda hard to review mystery games without giving anything away, but I would say if you're a fan of Return of the Obra Dinn, The Roottrees are Dead, or just mysteries in general, this is a great story and feels like time well spent.
Jeux incroyable j'ai adorait la mécanique je l'ai bouffé en 8h, merci les devs.
Sehr spannendes Spiel indem man ein Murder Mystery aufklären muss. Kurz vor dem frustriert werden wird man dann noch mit einem Plottwist überrascht.
It was an amazing game and aside from a couple of nitpicks here and there with UI, I just wished it was longer.
Brilliant game. I had a good time turning off Connections in settings and turning it on when stuck.
对Type Help没有一点理解被骗进来玩了,中途发现所有人都失忆时就开始觉得隐隐不对,或许当时就应该收手……包括鲁特里一家在内这是我第二次上当了。
was great
