Today we delve into the case of The Incident at Galley House. This 2026 game from William Rous and Evil Trout is the voice acted and graphical interface adaptation of William Rous’ 2025 Type Help. This mystery has you uncovering the events surrounding a mansion where everyone dies, and you have to piece together what happened scene by scene. Type Help was the first timeline mystery, and this is the most approachable one yet! We really enjoyed it, with John keeping true to form and staying up all night.
We received free press copies of the game ahead of release from the developers.

Archive Dive Double Header: A Hand with Many Fingers & Another Night at the Archive
Today John and Andrew buckle up for a double header of Archive Dives: “A Hand with Many Fingers” and “Another Night at the Archive.” Both games are all about combing through archives to solve a mystery, but have different systems, and different ways of presenting the problem. We compare and contrast the games both before and after spoilers.
