Type Help File Order and Timeline Hints

Organize Type Help clues by time, location, and person, and use a practical file log without claiming an unverified exact file-opening sequence.

Type Help is a browser text mystery by William Rous set around Galley House. Players type file-related commands, but the exact file order is not verified. A timeline is therefore more reliable than copying a rigid sequence from an unconfirmed walkthrough.

Use three evidence columns

For each useful file or clue, record:

  • time: when the described event happened;
  • location: where it happened;
  • person: who is connected to it.

Add a fourth notes column for uncertainty. Mark whether a relationship is explicit, inferred, or still unknown. This keeps an early guess from silently becoming a fact.

Track files without inventing an order

Keep the file reference, the detail it added, and the question it leaves open. When progress stalls, return to entries with a missing time, location, or person. A later clue may complete an earlier row even when the files were opened in a different sequence.

The goal is not to prove one universal order. It is to build a consistent account of the information you have already uncovered.

Keep commands and conclusions separate

Record the file-related command you tried separately from the story conclusion you drew. If a command does not help, that result says nothing by itself about the narrative. This separation makes the investigation easier to revise.

Open the Type Help game page, return to the puzzle walkthrough hub, or use the official itch.io page as the source of truth for the game.
