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 was a captivating puzzle game. Both my mind and body were fully absorbed into this game from the voice acting and dialogue to the scenery, design, and general atmosphere. Literally played this game in an empty house during a thunderstorm and jumped at the sound of concurrent thunderclaps. I highly recommend this game to any puzzle game enjoyer; you won't stop until you discover all the house has to offer.
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!

面白かった。お勧めしたい。 『時間』『場所』『その場にいた人』を指定することで、現場の音声を再現できる機械を用いての推理ゲーム。登場人物たちはの発言から誰がどの部屋にいたか、誰と一緒に行動していたかを読み解きつつ、過去に起きた謎の殺人事件の真相を解き明かしていく。 遣り取りをしっかり読んで「この発言からすると、こいつはあいつと一緒にいたことになるな」「ここでこの発言ってことは、あの場面ではあの場所にいるはず……」と推理を巡らせ新しい場面を発見したときの手応えが気持ちよく、またそこで展開される話そのものも面白い。実を言うと終盤は少し「?」となったしそのあたりの展開や真相は意見が分かれそうでもあったが、考察なども読んだ上で個人的には腑に落ちるものだった。 あと、元々はテキストオンリーのフリーゲームである『Type Help』から、映像や音声を追加して生まれたゲームがこのギャリー邸事件だそうなので、どんなゲームなのか観測を掴むためにまずはType Helpから遊んでもいいかも知れない。というか俺自身がType Helpを少し遊んで「これは絶対面白い」と思って買ったクチだし、気になったら触れてみてほしい。繰り返すが面白かった。
This is just as engaging and all-consuming as The Roottrees Are Dead, the previous game by this developer. If you liked that game, or enjoy deduction/puzzle games, give this a try. And if you haven't played The Roottrees are Dead, you should get on that.
That was so good! Such an intriguing and creative plot! The game is just about the right difficulty to make it not frustratingly obtuse or mind numbingly obvious. Voice acting and sound design was really high quality throughout. UI was mostly really good and the seance machine feels really nice and intuitive to use, reminds me of a high-tech "Guess Who?" board. My only minor gripe with the UI was that I would have liked to be able to mark timeframes with more than two reminders. The twist near the end was great! Strongly recommend this for any fans of detective and mystery games! And after two smash hits with The Roottrees are Dead and now this I'm really excited to see what William and Evil Trout will release next!
Oh My Gosh. I played their Roottree game and bought this one as soon as it came out. 9 hours later, I've 100% completed the game and I wasn't disappointed. The flow of this game was fantastic. I wasn't floundering around for obscure clues like with The Roottrees are Dead. The storyline was great! Kept you wondering for a while before you start to realize what's going on, and then you're crying as you know what's coming. I loved it, every second.
没打type help直接来的,体验还是不错的。因为操作相近,猜测原版游戏会有类似婆罗洲的繁琐输入,在本重制版输入的优化很不错。 如果已经玩过了type help,感觉没必要急着打重制版。 至于很多人差评的点在于“以为是暴风雪山庄,结果是[spoiler] 非本格 [/spoiler]”的问题,只能说,游戏已经不是暗示而是在很前期就明示了吧?也没有任何宣发说其是本格推理。这个指责未免有些无端。
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.
Fantastic murder mystery writing layered like an exquisite BLT- complete with deliciously complementary family drama, light sci-fi buffoonery, inventive twists, and madly entertaining characters and dialogue. I big ♥♥♥♥ with this great lil narrative experience and I think you should too.
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.
