Let me first say I don't reserve 5 stars for CE games, or 6 hour games or games with something total new and different. If I'm playing a game and repeatedly think "Wow - I really, really like this game!" that's 5 stars; and that's what I thought throughout this game!

Graphics are lovely and there are some unique aspects to the gameplay - it's a really nice mix of H0, puzzles and adventure! Devs have even manged to make a horribly gory tale not too gory with intriguing "dream graphics".

The plot moves along very nicely and it's always fun to play from multiple character points of view. Game ran flawlessly on my laptop - always a plus!

Lovely attention to detail as well - i.e. you find a hemlock plant at one point and devs did their homework - it is a Water Hemlock the most deadly in the hemlock family!

Happy Gaming! Show less

I recommend this game!

An Opium addicted young lady
Who has visions of the murders
The Head Detective on the Ripper Case
And a Journalist covering the unfolding story

Pefect HOPA imo

Pefect HOPA imo
Voice Overs that lead the story along
Easy Quick HOS that dont overpower the adventure
A fascinating Journal that is fun to read
In a way each character
Is functioning as a Detective
Gathering info and clues
The game does offer its own conclusion
Represented by one of the characters conclusions
Well Written Story
Enjoyed the game so much
When I finished it
I wanted to play it Again! Show less

I like mystery games. The storyline was excellent. It was different as there was more than one main character. I highly recommend this game if you like intrigue and hidden object scenes.

I'm really quite interested in the Ripper case, so this game was a good choice for me. I liked that you played as different people and the puzzles were fun too. The scenes were nicely done as was the character art.

I recommend this game!

This game is a nice competent H0G; good clear graphics & I like the style of the artwork. I would point out though that although a red colouring to the 'vision' scenes is a good idea it really was over the top in spades. It made it hard to make out any detail in these scenes.

This game is a nice competent H0G; good clear graphics & I like the style of the artwork. I would point out though that although a red colouring to the 'vision' scenes is a good idea it really was over the top in spades. It made it hard to make out any detail in these scenes.

This is not a game for those who do not care for crystal balls or tarot cards as you play the part of a clairvoyant who takes rather too much laudanum. As an East End Londoner I have to point out that the accent is not Cockney; however it is not objectionable & it was a pleasant change to have a voiceover.

In easy mode the hint button recharges at around 30 seconds & there are glints everywhere, in hard mode hint at 1 minute & no glints. However both modes have red sparkles where there is a H0 mode; it is a shame that these were not left out for the hard mode.

You have a notebook which gives some excellent historical details in small snippets & a little way into the game you will find a map that can be used to jump to different locations. The mini-games were very easy & the hidden objects were clear enough.

The music was not very memorable but there are a lot of background noises: creaking floorboards, footsteps, screams, laughter to add ambience.

Jack the Ripper is one of my favourite murder mysteries so I enjoyed this game & if you like your H0s give this a whirl. Show less

I recommend this game!
