A puzzle-mystery game inspired by Return of the Obra Dinn, Her Story, Unheard and The Roottrees are Dead.
Investigate the files on an old computer that once belonged to a mysterious outside agent.
The files detail the gruesome story of Galley House, a case that was said to be unsolvable.
What really happened at Galley House? And what did the agent find out that lead to their death?
Delve through deeper and deeper layers of mystery as you piece together the grand puzzle.
And remember... There are no ghosts in Galley House!

This was very fun, exactly the right combination of tricky and intriguing--by early act II I was just barrelling through the plot but there were still enough twists to keep it fascinating up through the end.
Wow, this was fantastic. So creative, I loved putting everything together!
This game literally changed my life. Thank you. Best thing I've played on itch
No spoilers~
Holy cow!!! This felt like a cross between a mystery and reality TV with all their drama! Goodness! I got so invested in the characters even though I knew they would all die…
Finding all the files was challenging but not frustrating. I got almost everything by myself and felt very smart! :D
Hi : )
I am Japanese. I played with the translation software!
It may be different from the original, but it was very interesting. Thanks for the great game!
absolutely brilliant. this should cost a thousand dollars
So I came here because I saw Jesse Cox playing this game....and I got so frustrated that I decided to see where it is so I can play it myself. I'm an avid fan of mysteries and a bit OCD in terms of how to organize notes for puzzles, so in my frustration I found my information and saw that it was free right on itch.io.
And off I went!
I know this game is a "find the file, uncover the secret" type of game that is also slated to remind folks about Her Story. But I found myself being reminded of other things as I continued to play. "And Then There Were None," "Identity," this "cursed tape/letter," Japanese movie where if you watch (or read the letter) a video of a cursed person you'll wind up dead at some point unless you have someone else watch one of you. There was also this Spanish movie from the 60s that had a small dinner party and the guests were so paranoid about wanting to leave and suspecting each other, that none of them bothered to actually open the door to leave (which was completely unlocked and everything was fine outside)!
This game took me about...probably 6 hours total to complete. I uncovered 97/98 files before seeing a comment here about the dream...something I totally forgot about AND, I should note, there won't be a reference notation for. It's just a detail you have to pay attention to and input.
I did get creeped out when I realized how this whole thing worked. Just like I was creeped out by that Hangman game. I was also saddened when I realized that John jumped, even though he wasn't the target. Though, having to comb through everything with a lingering reference made me happy when I uncovered Katherine's scene. I already knew it was her I had to somehow unlock, but I just didn't know where it would go! And I laughed when I figured that out!
This game had me guessing!
I took SO MANY notes (btw, please make it so that we can edit our notes without having to delete it)!
I remember adding Rupert Galley to my list, then as Rupert Galley (?). And then I realized what was going on and laughed.
I started writing profiles on all the party guests just so I can see how far back the chain goes.
MVP goes to Annie.

I'd say think of it in terms of narration. Does he want you to get it right, and if so, what exactly does he want you to understand?
When you play Hangman, normally people try the vowels. So when you run out, you realize something's up.
I'm still going to type in ROT13 as I'd hate to spoil something for someone who doesn't want to be spoiled! ^^

Why was the butler in the car at the start?? Also, he speaks like he knows John. Furthermore, when he gets back to the kitchen it seems like the food is already being prepared, water is boiling etc.?
I don't think he was. The car was stuck in the mud and "11" was outside the car, pushing it.
I also don't think he speaks like he knows "1"; it is generic polite staff dialogue.
I think he either saw or heard the car and came out to help, or was instructed to do so by someone else.
Oh! Great point!
hi y'all! I got a LOT out of playing this game and had a great time, thank you so much to the creator. I'm stuck on 95/96 files, my entry with (1) is 01-LI-3-5. Can anyone provide a hint?

Ack I am not very good at this kind of puzzle but I am so curious!!! I need to read more! I wish there is a walkthrough of sorts, maybe a list of scenes or hint on what comes next... Very interesting so far, though!
I...I did it.... 7 hours straight of case cracking.... This was so amazing! Thanks so much for making this awesome game!
how do you even start?!?!
What's this game called?
Read the message in your inbox. There you'll find some file names that you can type into the search bar. By the time you reach the corrupted file name, you should know how to piece together the information to find it. You basically use this method to find the rest of the file names. I recommend using a spreadsheet and notes to keep track of all the information
Just out of curiosity I tried to make some AIs play this game.
Deepseek's 'reason' function found two filenames that weren't in the Brief before offering nothing but failed guesses. The 'reason' button also makes the server timeout over and over again more often than not, so even if I wanted to give it more chances, I couldn't.
ChatGPT doesn't let you use their 'reason' button for very long if you're not paying, so I couldn't try it, but without it, it figured out '04-ST-?????' but couldn't find any filenames on its own.
Gemini doesn't have a 'reason' button, it has a 'research' but I think that makes it search the web, and that's cheating, obviously. Without it, it couldn't even figure out '04-ST-?????'.
This got boring, so I didn't bother trying Copilot, although it has a "Think Deeper" option which might help. There's also Perplexity. I got a year of their 'Pro' subscription for free some time ago, can't remember how. Maybe I'll try that later.
In conclusion, I don't think we're being replaced by AI any time soon.
UPDATE: Perplexity got through the 04- filename in the Brief but got no further than that. Copilot could not figure out the 04- filename.
I'm curious, because I don't think it's explained in-game

how do you know the narrators name? was it somewhere in the game?
There is a 00 file thats a bit of a guess to get, and theres a puzzle within that reveals it.
This game was an absolute masterclass in storytelling and logic puzzles. My life is far better because I have played and completed it!

I liked the way I had to scan the text deeper and deeper to find the next part. I liked the characters. I liked trying to find the characters like they hid from me, i was like where are you you little shit?
The story is great. I like the storylines of each person. it's so fun.
the <details><summary>spoiler</summary> hangman</details> bit scared the hell out of me cuz i failed it.
I'm not done yet. I just found the first 21. I've been at it for 4 days now without a walkthrough.
I also gotta compliment the UI, it's not overwhelming amount of text which I am thankful.
I just finished this and I am blown away! Someone mentioned this game on Bluesky and it became my obsession for the next 24h. Absolutely amazing!
Stuck currently with exactly 1 Act two scene, but it's been quite fun so far. I'm a little confused by the programme found on the body, though-- I would've expected that to be a clue to 00-programme, and when it wasn't I would've expected an @ message saying that the programme wasn't recovered or something. I am hoping this is clarified later.

I am not sure how much brute-force guessing I ought to use. Currently I have used very little, but I am running out of options. For example, I know I am missing a living room scene before the one where John comes in. However, removing him and the three that arrive with him isn't giving me the appropriate scene. I have some guesses-- iit seems like Tony and Vic haven't met yet before then, for example, and maybe Martha was looking for Eddie elsewhere and just joined the group-- so I could probably iterate all combinations for the appropriate timeslots, but I don't know if that's cheating.
this was such a blast to play, thank you!! i had a lot of fun. Truly a great time!!

does anyone know how to get to file 08?? I cant think of what it'd be
can someone help with the name of the corrupted file? I can't figure it out
the names go by the code 00-AA-......
the 00 is replaced by the file number (01, 02, 03, etc)
the AA says where the scene is set (ST for study, EN for entrance)
the ..... is replaced by the people in the scene
example: scene three, which is in the living room and has people 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, so it is "03-LI-1-4-5-6-7-8"
in the scene before 04, "03-LI-1-4-5-6-7-8-9", person 5 (martha galley) asks to meet person 1 (john hobbes) and 8 (Damian) in the study. this makes the code "04-ST-1-5-8"
thank you so much!!! i was really confused lol
this is all just full on spoiler you should rot13 it or at least put a warning
I haven't come close to finishing this game yet, but I need to say this: this is incredible. So, so incredible!
I basically never post my own comments on here, but I'm in desperate need of help since I can't for the life of me figure out what I'm missing. TL;DR: I'm at the very end of the game, but I still have a (1) listed next to a file name and can't find the file I'm missing.

I got almost all the way through the game on my own, and by reading some of the other comments here I got the dream file and the K file I missed, but I haven't really unlocked any sort of concrete end screen or final note or anything, and there's still a (1) next to 19-AT-1-2. I checked through my unlocked files so many times, but from what I can tell, I'm not missing anything, since everyone alive is accounted for during every timeslot each time I check. I feel like it's something really silly that I'm missing, but I'm driving myself nuts trying to figure out what it is. I would appreciate it so much if anyone has any suggestions/ideas!!

if everyone alive is accounted, maybe someone dead was alive at some point.
dont know if this is what u are missing, hope it helps
also is easy to check the timelines using "find" and the identificator of the person
Did you check the 00 file that @ left? Maybe this is the missing file
what are you guys using to scramble your comments :sob:
ROT13! :>
Thank you!
i actually made this account just to comment because this game is so insanely good. The way the mechanics of the game and the narrative and the aesthetic all unfold and develop concurrently is perfectly executed. It's so good how the game evolves from just figuring out how to use the system, to figuring out who's who and what the house is like, to finally actually figuring out why everything is happening. I also love that the UI still has nice quality of life additions even though it's uncompromisingly stark. It made the game feel like a truly believable operating system that some weird investigator might actually use instead of being intentionally obtuse, but also still controlled the drip feed of clues and story beats at the exact right rate to keep serving me aha moments both mechanically and narratively. Anyone who has any interest whatsoever in detective games at all should play this, and especially anyone interested in knowledge gated esoteric/ergodic narrative.
There was only one confusing part of the puzzle to me when I finished up the game that maybe someone could explain. Jung'f fhccbfrq gb or gur fzbxvat tha yrnqvat lbh gb 00-qernz?

i got 98 files, there is a hint in File: 21-CH-3
about 10-MA-5-6 , do you have the entire timeline of everybody? seems like u are missing one scene
there is a timeslot 26.
Also here are some things you can find in the 10-MA-5-6 file (but you probably already found out:
-where Eddie was in scene 09 (he wasn't alone)
-where Eddie was in scene 08 (wasn't alone)
-one of the people who wasn't there during dinner (scene 07)
-who was martha with and where during scene 08
-where martha goes in scene 11 and who she meets
-where Eddie goes to on scene 11 (wasn't alone)
I hope it helps.

Not the person you replied to, but I think I'm in their exact position. I have a reference for 10-ma-5-6 but I have every single scene you've mentioned in your comment. I'm well and truly stumped on what else it could be referencing. I also have 1 scene at 26 with person 1.

I was just in the same boat and figured it out. do you know where person 6 went during scene 12?
Clue below if you're still looking. Indirect spoiler.

There's one that I didn't get until after the one outside the mansion that you mentioned, so I'm guessing it might be the one you're still looking for. Technically you could find this scene very early depending on how early you figure out all the mechanics of the curse.
I know that's extremely subtle, so I also have one more clue below.

Each person's final scene occurs in a time slot that includes a thunderclap. Do you have every thunderclap paired with someone?
And one last one, a bit more obvious below if you need it (but still not the direct answer).

Characters were identified by numbers to keep track of who was talking before we knew their names. Was there anyone who we never heard speak? What would their number be?
Hope these were helpful enough without being too obvious.
stumbled on Type Help after searching for games like Outer Wilds- I was hooked. I've also got my partner hooked. Satisfying to solve, and we've had a lot of fun theory crafting!!! We've done our job :)
just finished playing this game on stream and it was a blast! here's part 1 of us playing/voice acting it
I watched all 3 episodes (the last two from the Twitch vods), and it was such an enjoyable experience, thank you so much for the many hours of entertainment! :>
Thank you for watching!!!
This was so great, absolutely fantastic, thank you!
great game
I'm at 93 files and I could use some hints as to how to deduce the last few? And how I can learn A.T. and @'s names?
Make a spreadsheet. Every living and present person is accounted for at every time code, so if you make a complete table/spreadsheet of where every person is at every time, you should be able to see some gaps.
Yes, I'm sure I've documented everybody where they should be at any given time, it's the nonstandard files I'm trying to figure out. Also I feel like a dope for not reading the name at the top of my email.
Any tips? I'm in the same boat at 93 files. I've got everyone accounted for in all scenes my spreadsheet but can't figure out the last 3 files
