In 1888, a series of horrendous events shook the city of London.

Five brutal murders were committed, unsolved by the London Metropolitan Police, all the work of Jack the Ripper: an unidentified serial killer who terrorized the streets of Whitechapel but left behind almost no clues.

For more than 130 years, his identity has remained a mystery.

Now it is your turn to step into the shoes of an investigator reopening the Ripper files.

Follow the chilling trail through the streets of Whitechapel, from Artillery Lane to Mitre Square, uncovering hidden clues and piecing together the puzzle of one of the world's most notorious unsolved crimes.

Can you shed new light on the case? Or will you, too, get lost on the murderer's trail of darkness?
