About the Story

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?

Don't you (forget about me), July 30, 2026

This commercial remake of Type Help doesn't make changes for changes sake: fans of the original will experience the same story, with the same dialogue, with the additions of illustrations and voice acting (plus one new mechanic: matching portrait pictures to characters, but it's a minor detail). It takes on the tone of a BBC radio drama, which does feel like what the original was going for. The most interesting part will be the post-game playable epilogue with all-new content answering some of the game's many mysteries.

"masterfully brought an acclaimed mystery game to life"
Takes what is excellent about Type Help and brings it to life, transforming an entirely text-based adventure into a fully imagined world with an atmospheric soundtrack, great voice acting, and an expanded story. Better yet, this remaster is brought to us by Evil Trout, the team behind the brilliant family-tree-assembling detective game, The Roottrees are Dead.

"reimagines a modern classic"
It takes a good foundation from Type Help and elevates every aspect of it to a more approachable, satisfying, and engrossing experience. The voice cast is impeccable and the game is sure to delight newcomers and returning investigators alike.
