One of the questions we hear most often is: "What's the difference between Magistrate Mode and Ripper Mode?"
While both modes share the same Victorian world, investigation mechanics, and evidence systems, they're designed to deliver two very different experiences.
Magistrate Mode is a replayable investigation campaign for 1-5 players, where you and your team work together to solve procedurally generated cases against an AI-controlled Ripper.
Ripper Mode transforms those same investigative mechanics into a tense 6-8 player social investigation experience, where one player secretly becomes the Ripper and everyone else must uncover the truth before it's too late.
Whether you prefer cooperative detective work or outsmarting your friends through deception, there's more than one way to survive Whitechapel. Be sure to wishlist 4 Penny Coffins so you see future news, dev blogs, and release date announcements!
