Officially… five grisly murders were attributed to Jack the Ripper. However, some historians and modern criminologists believe this number to be incorrect. There were further murders in the Whitechapel area in the late 1800s, some of which may have been the work of the same sinister killer.
In “Trap the Ripper” you will experience an alternative history of the Ripper’s brutal reign.
As the Metropolitan Police you will attempt to minimise the body-count… and as the infamous Ripper you will seek to wreak bloody havoc on the East End streets of Victorian London.
The locale is real…
the events are real…
the suspects are real…
and the victims are also real.
To win the game you must succeed as both saviour and sinner. Explore both sides of the human psyche as you juggle the compulsion to preserve life with the darker desire to snuff it out.
Whatever the outcome, the Ripper will vanish into the misty London night, his identity unknown… like a baleful ghost in the firmament.
Catch me if you can - Jack.
