Step into the fog-shrouded streets of 1888 London in 4 Penny Coffins, a unique social deception game inspired by the infamous Jack the Ripper murders. One player embodies the terrifying Ripper, driven by a demonic urge to kill, while the others form a desperate investigative team. Your goal is to uncover the truth and stop the murders before the city succumbs to paranoia.

As an investigator, you'll need to meticulously gather evidence from crime scenes, interrogate suspects, and track suspicious activities. The Ripper, meanwhile, must skillfully deceive, misdirect suspicion, and evade capture. Trust is a scarce commodity; evidence can be fabricated, and time is constantly running out.

The game unfolds in a deliberate three-phase nightly cycle. The Ripper stalks and hunts, while investigators race against time to piece together the fragmented clues. Will you expose the killer, or will the Ripper's reign of terror continue?
