Jack the Ripper: Hunter Clan

Jack the Ripper: Hunter Clan is a challenging action game set in Whitechapel, London, in 1888. You play a penniless newcomer who joins the clandestine hunters’ guild Ripper and is sent into combat after only a brief course in marksmanship. At night, monstrous creatures roam the streets, while disappearances linked to the occult Golden Dawn Society leave another mystery to solve.

Whitechapel in 1888

London’s industrial growth has made exhaustion and dangerous factory work ordinary for laborers, while soot and pollution choke the city. The protagonist arrives hoping to find a chance to rise, but finds only life-threatening jobs with barely enough pay to survive. A stranger offers him work for “real money” and leads him to Ripper’s makeshift training compound beneath Whitechapel, where the guild prepares a new recruit as it awaits a legendary hunter foretold in rumor.

People barricade themselves indoors after dark to escape the creatures in the streets. The monsters are described as a consequence of humanity’s pursuit of progress, though how they were made is unclear. Meanwhile, people have begun disappearing, and the Golden Dawn Society is widely believed to be responsible for the kidnappings, whose purpose remains unknown. You must investigate both threats.

Hunt and survive

You search, shoot, roll and loot as you face monsters and cultists. Body armor offers brief protection, but a moment of inattention can get you knocked out or killed. The challenges rely on repeatable patterns, so learning how enemies behave is central to surviving.

Raid locations

Ripper provides only minimal weapons when you have failed objectives multiple times, lost everything and reached a point of no return. You can raid Golden Dawn hideouts to fight the cultists and collect funds, weapons, healing potions and other supplies for hunting monsters. Check your notebook for raid locations after entering Whitechapel.

Creatures of Whitechapel

The city’s monsters are grotesque, and few people who encounter them survive. Two of the creatures you face are:

• The Tarnished Slaves: a mass of human bodies fused into a spider-like shape. Its powerful strikes leave brief blind spots around its bulky form.
• The Grisler: a living Minotaur that stalks the streets. It can close the distance with incredible speed, so keeping away from its fists is not enough.
