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?

My instinct is to stay away from anything horror, but this premise had me intrigued. So I took a chance. I am glad I did. Is the game a little unnerving? Yeah. Did I close my eyes when starting the power? Yeah. Was it worth it? Heck yeah. If you can play Creature Kitchen, you can play this. I still have more to learn but I rolled credits and loved it. I could go on but I hate writing on my steam deck.
I wasn't prepared to binge like this

i never played the original game .. but i thoroughly enjoyed Incident at Galley House! Different from Rootresses are Dead, but the art and the story had me hooked. gameplay is easy to understand and it always felt good when you figured out scenes!

Overall, a fantastic game and a unique experience for me. It scratched that puzzle itch while also providing an engaging plot that kept me hooked. It's short, but well worth the price in my opinion. I can only imagine how much time it took the devs to make all the characters and scenes connect in a way that makes sense and actually feels compelling. If you're worried about difficulty, the game offers hints with no penalty. No need to brute force your way through.
Great game! Was really interested to see if this game was similar to the Roottrees and this one switched up game loop in a great way. Reminded me a lot of the Return of the Obra Dinn which is one of my favorite games. The puzzle felt good to solve and mystery unraveled in a really satisfying way. Highly recommend and can't wait to see what game this company comes out with next!
I loved The Roottrees are Dead, I think it was a very mechanically clever game that was a joy to play through, but was a bit lacking on some aspects. However, I think The Incident at Galley House manages to retain most of the qualities and thematics of The Roottrees are Dead, and improving on almost all it's aspects, all while changing quite radically the gameplay style, but not without success!
So far, this is a team to watch! I loved The Roottree's and I LOVE THIS GAME! I would love to see more of these mystery puzzle solving games. It's interesting and challenging enought without feeling too easy or too hard - it's just right.
Great game ! If you loved Obra Dinn, you'll love this one too.
Great mystery game, think Obra Dinn but with less people that all keep moving around.
