The Incident at Galley House, a detective game and follow-up to The Roottrees are Dead, has started strong on Steam with 97% positive reviews after just two days.
The game is a collaboration between developers Evil Trout and William Rous, with designer Jeremy Johnston also contributing. It originated as a visually simplistic browser game called Type Help on Itch.io before being remade with a visual novel-style presentation.

The game's success is attributed to its engaging story and detective gameplay, with a unique interface that includes 2D illustrations and a mysterious 3D interface for navigating memories. The Incident at Galley House is available on Steam for $20, with a 10% launch discount until July 21.
