Sherlock Holmes vs. Jack the Ripper

The game is gruesome from the very beginning, in which you see the Ripper -- from a first person perspective -- strangle and disembowel a woman. Although you don't see his knife entering her body, you hear the cutting, squishing sounds. You'll have up-close examinations of murder victims, bringing your magnifying glass right up to their slashed throats. You may not see blood as it spills, but red puddles and sprays of droplets cover the crime scenes. Savage killings are described verbally in vivid detail. You will also need to make Holmes and Watson re-enact murders.

All the Ripper's victims are prostitutes (although the word "prostitute" is never used -- you'll just hear every euphamism imaginable). A brothel is a major setting in the game, and most of the female characters are prostitutes, and many of them will proposition the player. They all show cleavage. Giggles and short moans can be heard from behind closed doors in the brothel. Men make out with hookers in alleyways, kissing loudly -- you'll be able to see the men grab the women's bottoms. Also, necrophilia is discussed and suggested as a motive.

"Damn" is the only bit of profanity you'll hear in the dialogue.

Holmes smokes cigarettes in the game (Watson tells him he shouldn't, but Holmes justifies his need for them in lieu of "something stronger" -- probably a reference to Holmes's cocaine habit in the original literature). Other characters smoke as well, and many drink (Watson orders a drink at a bar) and get drunk, slurring their speech. Staggering drunkards can often be seen wandering the streets of Whitechapel at night.
