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
An excellent remake of an already excellent game. I bought this to support the devs since I loved Type Help so much, and even though much of the game was as I remembered, eventually a whole new mystery started to unravel. Absolutely a must-buy!
A stunning graphical version of a fascinating text adventure, and also a fun real life full circle moment. The original text adventure 'Type Help' by listed developer William Rous, is noted as being inspired by 'The Roottrees are Dead', by Evil Trout Inc. who you will note as the other listed developer, making this game almost a reciprocal love letter between the developers, and the love is palpable in the game's unique artstyle and storytelling. Using a special machine, you view the events of the past involving a series of deaths, matching names and faces to voices, with no mechanical acknowledgement of if you've got the names and faces correct, this game delivers twist after twist, with some lateral thinking required to uncover all the secrets of Galley House and it's inhabitants.

This game is so awesome! I enjoyed every minute and love how the game is presented.
啥子游戏,70多块就这?整个游戏剧情也拉完了,拉拉拉 不好玩,拉完了简直
such a compelling concept and really good for most of the runtime. there was a particular"♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥" moment that made me lock in and i was hooked. the limited presentation is clever and cool as hell. but then the final 5 minutes of the game are a huge let down and i feel like i've wasted my time. like, is that really it? this grand mystery ends with a wet ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ fart. on the level of roottrees or obra dinn it certainly is not!
5小时全成就通关。对于从未玩过Type Help的玩家,这将会是你难忘的一段解密经历。但对于此前玩过Type Help的玩家,只能祈祷自己失忆了,另外新增的一部分内容是将原版游戏中未展开的调查员小队的故事予以的扩充,感谢补全了他们的故事,并对他们的牺牲致敬。
连打7小时终于全成就了。大概1年前玩过type help,虽然忘记了挺多但是对于流程走向与人物都还记得,能带着大纲来推理还是太简单了,为了挑战自己都是用已知信息来推理下去的,对比原作做了优化,不需要什么操作都打一串字了,不过每一段分得太细了,想大体上梳理一遍逻辑比原作要更麻烦 推理部分相当不错,与原作相同,[spoiler] 发现死去的人都会被遗忘时一切都说得通了,前面像是在胡言乱语的话也变得有逻辑了起来 [/spoiler]。比起原版后期[spoiler] 人死的又快且线索给的又多,推出诅咒就没有更多反转的内容 [/spoiler]来说,这版加的内容对我来说是相当满意的,[spoiler] 鉴于原版的机器和天眼一样没有任何错误信息且主角没有任何危险,就先入为主地认为这版也一样了 [/spoiler] [spoiler] 为什么门窗都被封死了门前还有雨伞和包,为什么我完全不知道我是来干什么的,为什么门锁上了打不开但是还是打开了,为什么一进门就有个雷霆机器能够透视全图还自带教程,为什么时不时有小纸条放在桌上,都被我认为是节约成本留白的,实际上是主角准备好的。打雷了也只以为是倒霉蛋死掉了,照片上突然出现人了也只当是之前看错了,当发电机没修好却自己修好了才感觉不太对 [/spoiler] 更绝的是当你发现[spoiler] 突然有尸体出现在眼前时 [/spoiler],发现之前的一切都不对劲,[spoiler] 简直和受害者一模一样 [/spoiler],代入感拉满了。 [spoiler] 以及三次修电成就名都是对应时间和主角一起修电的人 [/spoiler] 综上所述,还是非常满意的,可以说各种巧思都和我的脑电波对上了。
Beyond phenomenal. One of the best games I've ever played.
A truly amazing deduction game, that will surprise with its cleverness. A must have if you enjoy the likes of the Roottrees are Dead or the Golden Idol.
Well written puzzles, Engaging. In parts creepy, but not really scary. A singular "jump scare" which is very mild. Don't let that put you off.
