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?

cinema ! so much fun, managed to do it all with no hints, although the last 3-4 scenes really tempted me I do feel like it kinda derailed a little bit towards the end, the overall plot and characters, but all the original type help sequences are really great to work through and piece together
Short but intense, no filler. A visual novel where every cutscene is pauseable and transcripts made for you to refer to later.

不睡觉玩了一整天,这个游戏太有创意了,上一次玩得这么沉迷是锈湖,非常严谨的推理游戏,推理过程也非常独具一格,而且还有灵异元素,非常有意思!
epic remake of type_help, loved the visuals and the acting (and the epilogue)
Très bonne écriture, surtout quand le gameplay et l'histoire finissent pas purement fusionner.
Evil Trout does it again releasing another banger. I can't wait for what they do next.
What a treat! This game is a focus, narrative puzzle game that involves solving a mystery through a non-linear timeline. Honestly closer to Obra Dinn than Roottrees, but certainly up there in terms of the quality of the puzzlebox. It does get a hair long in the tooth if you're trying to solve for every scene, but it's quite masterful in the organic hint layout and breadcrumb trail for solving the puzzle. The latter half of the game is quite surprising and extremely engaging. I do wish that some of the animations were taken just a hair further (such as having sitting and laying poses for the character models), but they do a well enough job conveying the ideas needed to get you deep into the puzzle-solving process. Certainly recommended!
Played a little bit of Type Help waiting for this game to be released. This game is a nice graphical adaptation of the web app. Captivating story, couldn't guess what was going to happen. Took about 11 hours to complete. As someone with limited mobility, I appreciated the accessibility of the game controls. Highly recommended!
