Longish hidden movement game (think Fury of Dracula) with a very simple gameplay. Compared to the predecessor, Letters from Whitechapel, this title has been greatly streamlined. Mum and dad caught me a few steps away from my last kill :blobcat_sad: Right now I am waiting for Beast to be delivered, as I am trying to get more into the genre

Ohhh I love the premise of letters from whitechapel! Uhhh the gameplay not the murder of prostitutes 😅
The basic play of the game is so simple but man the buildup before you get to the actual chase is such a chore. The whole secret setup for the victims and officers and then then Jack being able to wait to buy time while the officers move the victims around feels bloated as heck.
Most times we play we just skip all that nonsense, Jack picks a victim and then the chase is on.
You should take a look at the game OP played, Whitehall Mystery is a newer game than Letters from Whitechappel and is a bit simpler and faster though the premise is about the same
@mysticpickle@lemmy.ca yeah, I believe the developers were precisely after tackling these problems when coming up with the new title
