Developed by VisceralError, The Gallagher Case is an extremely terrifying experience, albeit too short. Graphics wise is very detailed, and the house, although not big, seems lived. Unfortunately, it's extremely short runtime is the games main flaw. When you are getting ready for more, the game pulls the rug underneath you, leaving you craving for more. Price wise I do find it a bit expensive, although I absolutely still recommend it.
Hi !, thanks for the review, I'm currently working on 2 much longer projects and one of them will be published soon, I hope you like it, best regards! ✌
Thank you for answering and sorry if I looked harsh. Believe me, I loved the game and that's why I said what I said, because I know that something longer, coming from you, will be outstanding.
Thank you very much! That encourages me a lot to keep working, I am currently with two projects in development. I hope to be able to publish them soon, again thank you very much 🙌
Hi! That game was a kind of demo, I made it when I started studying development and I deleted it from my itchio account because it was very beginner and very basic, but someday I would love to go back to that project to do something much more serious. 🤘
So this game and a few other horror titles was the primary reason I wanted to make the jump to pc gaming. I bought my pc a couple weeks ago and have been having a pretty good experience so far. But for some reason this game has some pretty bad screen tearing issues even with the Vsync turned on. My question is how do I fix this? Its bad enough that it breaks the immersion :( I know this isn't the developers fault but if anyone out there reading this can give me some suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.
Hello Phantom ! I'm sure you have the option within the game to enable VSync and select the frames. There are very few people who have had this problem but it may be because of drivers, updates to your computer or your screen. I am aware that the game is a bit poorly optimized and that the options are scarce but I have been all this time studying how to optimize other projects I have been working on and I am sure to release a new version of this game with a better optimization and more content. Unfortunately I am the only person working on the project and I am currently with other things that take me all the time I have, thanks for your message Phantom, greetings!
Hey thanks for reaching out! Yes, I've toggled various options but nothing seems to tame the screen tearing. I will totally look into the drivers you've mentioned and see if anything can be done. Just know that I'm not upset with you, as I'm sure you'll figure this out and release a new version. I've only seen snippets of this game online and I haven't played past the front door because I want to get the full intended experience. I'll hop on again tomorrow and let you know if the drivers are up to date and see if that helps. Cheers!
I recently downloaded this game and im having trouble navigating the game because the base sensitivity is so high. tried to mess with my mouse settings but still to no prevail of it fixing. Is there anyway to change the sens? I didnt see any settings in game to fix it :((
Hi! Thanks for your message, currently the game does not have that function but I still don't know if the functions mentioned above can be done. I am currently working on other projects that take up all my time but in the future I will release a new improved version, more updated and with more content for all those people who have already bought the game and those who come new. I'm really sorry and thanks again for your message!
So honestly, I'm a bit late to the party here, but this is probably the scariest game i've played on my channel. Thank you visceralerror, you have the title for now!
Hi, I'm an indie horror streamer, I've played hundreds of games of this genre. This game was a great experience, the atmosphere was very intense, although my audience and I found that dying kinda takes that away from you. Still, we were shocked and scared. Keep up the good work, we loved it and we're hyped for future updates or a longer version of the game! Mrs. Gallagher was VERY frightening. Ps. Good work on the spanish translation! https://clips.twitch.tv/SuperManlyAppleTheThing-7kmJTLA2eBqeqG7e
This is a great game, but I'm just curious about one thing, does the morse code we hear have any meaning ? I translated it to "IAME". this just makes me more confused lol
Hi! Thanks for your message, very few people have bothered to do this, the original message is on two different tapes distributed around the house. The two together form the phrase "I AM GOD". This and other things within the game will be better explained in different developments over time such as the nausea of sanity etc.
the game itself was great however the ending just didn’t make any sense.. *spoiler alert* what does a man on television have to do with mrs. gallagher, the boy we played the role as or with any of the game?? idk if i’m just dumb but it doesn’t make any sense. explanation please??
It was someone who was able to manipulate people through a television, that's how Mrs. Gallagher became that thing. This part of the game will have much more relevance in upcoming game releases that I will be making soon. 🙌
Highly enjoyed and recommend this game. The atmosphere is beautifully done, even when not using ultra settings. One small thing I really enjoyed was the autofocus detail (ex: if the player was looking at something close up vs far away). It is not something seen in indie games and I found it really added to the overall atmosphere. Full Playthrough Below:
The game has A LOT of potential, however, I think it such a short video game experience death shouldn't even really be an option. The atmosphere created is enough to make the game extremely scary on it's own. Death scenes take away from that almost, if not, entirely. After I died I was personally less scared & pulled out of the immersive hyper realistic experience created. Visually the game is stunning, the atmosphere created was very good & the sound design was really good as well. The death animation is too long & a little wonky. Adjusting the settings is also a bit wonky I had to continuously change my graphic & sound settings when/if I died or left the game. I think the developer has a good future ahead of them with making games like this. Good luck & thank you!
Thank you very much for your comment, this helps me to keep improving and polishing many aspects. Thank you for your words, I hope you enjoyed the game 🖤✝🖤🙌.
What a great short game! I could feel the paranoia and atmosphere just make every corner feel incredibly tense. If this was a longer game, I would have kept playing as I only wanted more. I look forward to what you do next. This is the real deal and delivers.
Mrs.Gallagher has some serious problems! I liked the puzzles. I felt so uneasy roaming around the house because I thought she was going to be around every corner. That's how paranoid I was during this game. I can't wait to see more from you. Great job!
Well this game is the real deal lol. Like this game SCARY SCARY. I got jumpscared so many times. Really good game with great graphics and cool puzzles. Check Out my video but most of all check the game out. Really amazing job developers.

Very good game, I do wish it were longer
Thank you very much I appreciate it !!
Cool Game :D
I opened a speedrun board, this is my best run so far.
It was a great game, it took me a while to finish the game pretty challenging.

Awesome game! This house is very scary. The feeling of the old woman appearing at any moment is terrifying. Played on my channel here.
Really awesome game. Got me good so many times and felt like a polished studio game well done.
This game reawakened my love of horror games! Very fresh and unique concept- I really hope you make more games in the future.
Thank you very much! That encourages me a lot to keep working, I am currently with two projects in development. I hope to be able to publish them soon, again thank you very much 🙌
Recently i saw a gameplay of Nausea, is the game still in development?

Yessir! No problem
Noice. Really good visuals, lighting was awesome. And for the love of GOD did those scares get me..
Thank you I appreciate it !!

I've played this game a few times and it never gets less scary! Excited to see your future projects.
Here's a walkthrough for those who may need it (because I def got stuck a few times on the first try):
🖤
I am just curious, what is the amphetamine even used for, is the whole point of it just to kill the player for fun?
It's just a comparison of what the drugs do in real life, the transition and the end 👁
This Game Gave Us The Creeps, But Had A Great Time Playing It!
Horror puzzle games are my favorite, especially when they keep me guessing for hours.... or maybe I am just dumb hahaha fantastic game!
Thank you ! I appreciate it very much.
Thanks !! :3
