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?

Fantastic mystery game, the methodology to uncover the plot can get tricky at times and certainly asks of you to pay attention, take notes. But the outcome is quite rewarding. Great to play solo or with a friend!

Enjoyably fatalistic; the voice acting was excellent as well
A fun detective puzzle game which will scratch that Roottree/Obra Dinn itch. Definitely worth the price of admission.
Really an amazing game, well dosed difficulty (no need for a guide at all because of some ultra obscure hidden stuff), interesting story with a few twists. Some part were a [b]biiiit[/b] weird like [spoiler] when Damian for example remember Helen, while everyone else has forgotten, including Victoria just beside him, he freaks out for a few seconds then decide to go to bed and think about it tomorrow??! No! You just understood that the bodies were in fact people you knew, you shouldn't have let it go so easily[/spoiler]. If you like games where you need to take notes, investigate and make assumption on partial information, go ahead and buy it without a doubt
