Other Ocean Interactive, Cornwall, PEI
Unearthly terror stalks the winding alleys and rotting byways of 1888 Whitechapel. You are a motley collection of good-hearted citizens patrolling these haunted streets. But one among you is something else: the Ripper, a gleeful demon concealed behind a facade of humanity, possessing a tortured soul... and waiting for their next moment to feast.
Fear spreads as bodies pile up. Most of the team works to uncover the truth before the next murder. Players gather evidence from crime scenes, question suspects, track suspicious behaviour, and piece together clues. All the while, the Ripper must deceive and redirect suspicion while avoiding detection and stalking their next victim. Investigators must separate fact from fiction before paranoia tears the group apart. Trust is fragile. Evidence can be faked. And time is not on your side.
It’s a new take on social investigation. 4 Penny Coffins blends first-person horror, manipulation, and detective work, setting the unfolding drama in the gorgeous, sinister backdrop of Victorian London at night. Each evening follows a deliberate three-phase cycle. The Ripper hunts. Players investigate. Then, in a formal and organised Conviction phase, evidence is weighed and a verdict is delivered. No endless shouting. No stalled discussions. Every round reaches a resolution.
With dynamic roles and player-driven outcomes, every session unfolds differently. Playable solo or in multiplayer, 4 Penny Coffins blends social deduction with investigative mechanics to create tense, unpredictable matches where trust is earned slowly and lost instantly. Someone will hang for these crimes. Make sure it isn’t you.
