Summary
The tale of Jack the Ripper has been entrenched into British history, much like Guy Fawkes, King Arthur and the Chuckle Brothers. But what if you were able to solve the mystery behind the Nineteenth-Century killer yourself, discover his true identity and deal out logical justice? Surely there can only be one protagonist for the job, one who has had more than his fair share of solved cases under his belt.
Enter Sherlock Holmes, as he tackles the horrific crimes of Jack the Ripper in 1888’s London. With women disappearing in the streets, brutally murdered and mutilated and left for police to find, the authorities are having a hard time finding a serious lead to begin their investigation. Starting your adventure in Whitechapel as Holmes himself, you set out to find potential clues that can create a chain of events that lead you to the culprit.
Bringing the best of both 3D third person point and click games with first person viewpoints, Sherlock Holmes vs Jack the Ripper allows you to play the game in any graphical mode you see fit. If you would rather see the world through the detective’s eyes or control him indirectly you can easily slip into either view mode, or even combine them for great atmospherical effect.
