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?

One of the best stories ever told in this wave of deduction games. If you enjoyed Return of the Obra Dinn and Curse of the Golden Idol, then you owe this game to yourself.
Gute Story, Gute Grafik. Läuft auch auf Leistungsswächeren Geräten.

7/10 fun deductive reasoning puzzle game
Very fun and interesting detective game. It's on the easier side of detective games since it is mainly about discovery and exploration.
What a game, you need to go into this game blind. I did and it was amazing. The story is so well written and the way things get revealed is so unique. Highly recommend this game.
Beautiful story!
Absolutely phenomenal game and excellent writing. I was hooked almost immediately, and couldn't wait to play it again when I had to stop.
It's a bit easier than Type Help due to the ability to hear the voices, but otherwise contains the same content as well as new improvements. I think I like the text interface better, but this is certainly more accessible for more people. If you're not sure, you can try Type Help to see if you're into the format, since much of teh game is the same, but with a different interface. If you're reading this prior to playing, trust me, get a notepad or a spreadsheet. The in-game notes are nice and all, but at some point you'll probably want a spreadsheet or being able to draw something out by hand.
Really good story and fun deductive game. Definitely recommend.
