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
I bought this to be nice, as a way of saying "thanks" for one of the best computer games I've ever played in my life. Then I fired it up, just because it feels weird to buy a game and not at least start it. Now I can't put it down. I was skeptical of the UI overhaul but it's perfect. It manages to keep all the good bits from the text version while adding in QOL improvements and fun new layers. And the story itself is such that it's actually really satisfying to replay, knowing everything you wind up knowing after the first time. In short, dang. Nice work everyone, hope this blows up like Roottrees.
C'è poco da dire di Evil Trout per ora non ne ha sbagliata una! Dopo "The Roottrees Are Dead" con questo secondo titolo ne escono ancora meglio se possibile, hanno portato ciò che di buono c'era nel loro gioco di debutto e l'hanno migliorato, levigato, smussato e pulito per farlo brillare ancora di più. Un gioco di quelli che scioglieranno le vostre celluline grigie, vi porteranno a ragionare come i vari "...The Golden Idol" o "Return of the Obra Dinn". L'unica pecca è la mancanza dell'italiano, MA, ci voleva un grosso MA, grazie ad una traduzione amatoriale adesso ne potete godere nella nostra lingua. Vi lascio un video qua sotto per mostrarvi il risultato. https://youtu.be/EuCvJ9pIrhQ

Type help was one of my favourite mystery games I've played. And this rendition of it is incredible. It is a great way to (re)experience the original with some extras added for those who already played it. Highly recommended if you love any mystery/detective games.
Great detective game. The plot is impecable. It is really interesting. Great job
A well-written mystery I througly enjoyed. Great characters. Anything more would be spoilers. Just play it.
非常棒的微硬核推理。 这种主动思考一步步推敲的感觉非常棒。 尤其是第二圈的时候,那种回忆里突然多塞一个人进去的感觉。新颖而震撼
if you love puzzles, this is a great one.
One of the most unique and captivating games I have ever played. I literally couldn’t walk away, I forgot to eat food or drink water and ended the day with a blinding migraine because I loved this game so much
One of the best deduction games since Return of the Obra Dinn
I came into this game from "type help", which I loved. This is a strictly better version in my opinion, a wonderful puzzle game with lots of unique ideas and a central discovery mechanic that I haven't seen elsewhere, aside from maybe TR-49. If you like puzzles, you'll likely like this; it's a wonderful clockwork watch of a game, with lots of interlinking parts and careful construction.
