Modern Timeline — Part 2 & Keycards
Guide to The Incident at Galley House present-day arc: keycard swap, D&M and FRC staff, Ervin reveal, and scene codes 27–32.
When Part 2 Begins
Midway through the investigation the story splits: 1936 memories (Persons 1–11) versus present-day scenes (Persons 64–75). The game prompts you to insert a modern keycard into the Seance Machine. You can swap keycards freely to revisit either era.
This is entirely new content in the Steam remaster — Type Help ended before the expanded epilogue. Expect roughly one hour of additional ending material tying D&M's excavation to Galley House.

Ervin (#64) & Replay Scenes

27-AT-66-75 | 27-AT-64-66-75 | Attic |
29-BI-73 | 29-BI-64-73 | Billiard Room |
