Sherlock Holmes vs. Jack the Ripper

With the release of Sherlock Holmes vs. Jack the Ripper just around the corner, Frogwares Studio and Focus Home Interactive are pleased to offer a brand new video of this upcoming adventure title. In this new trailer, we see Sherlock Holmes and his faithful friend Dr. Watson investigating the dark alleys of the Whitechapel district where the horrifying serial killer known as "Jack the Ripper" has just committed his first murders ... and seems about to renew his horrific crimes.

Sherlock Holmes vs. Jack the Ripper allows you to play as the greatest detective of all in the London of 1888. A series of particularly horrible murders creates a real psychosis throughout the country. Atrociously mutilated prostitutes' bodies are found by the police without them being able to find a serious lead. Sherlock Holmes starts looking for clues in the dark and sinister alleys of Whitechapel in order to follow the macabre trail of the one the press now calls Jack the Ripper. During an adventure full of twists, Sherlock Holmes will try to bring out the true identity and the motives of the one who hides behind this scary alias.
