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 thanks. I thoroughly enjoyed the deduction and the story. On par with Obra Din! Bravo!
Fantastic. Really scratched similar itch to Rootrees are Dead. I feel Rootrees is better as there was more to do. Yet the fact that I stayed up all night and binged the game in two sessions tells you how much it hooks you!

Don't have anything to say about this game without spoiling it except that I loved it, I loved Roottrees too, eagerly awaiting a third Mr. Trout.
Sort of speechless actually. I don't write reviews so take it for what it's worth. Don't look anything up, question everything, and at the end you'll be shocked at how amazingly developed this game is. *potential spoiler following* To the developers thank you. When John said what he said in that moment in the attic. I felt all of it. Truly, thank you. God bless.
This game is not deserving of the “Overwhelmingly Positive” review status that currently stands. It’s overpriced for what it is. It’s vibe-coded, the controls are janky, the graphics and UI are very dated, the voice acting is poor. I don’t recommend
虎头蛇尾,前期期待多大,后期失望就多大!玩到最后你告诉我是超自然现象杀人,真就是圆不回来硬圆,根本比不上鲁特里一家!
One of the best deduction games since Return of the Obra Dinn
离谱了,不知道谁送给我了这个游戏。至少在我的记忆里我可不认识什么熟到能无缘无故送给我原价游戏的人。
T-Y-P-E G-O-A-T
Had an absolutely great time getting this cleared across 3 nights. Played on Steam Machine on the couch and it was great! Busting out a pencil and paper and testing theories and seeing some of them payoff is a big treat.
