The Incident at Galley House is a 2026 horror and mystery-themed puzzle video game developed by Evil Trout for Linux, macOS and Windows. It is a remake of the 2025 text-based browser game Type Help. Given an advanced machine which allows a psychic glimpse into the past, the player is tasked with solving an unexplained series of deaths which occurred in the titular manor. The game was well received for its gameplay, narrative, and thematic complexity.
