In Whitechapel, everyone has a role to play. When a murder occurs in Ripper Mode, figuring out who is responsible means gathering evidence, comparing information, and working together to separate the truth from the lies.
That's where professions come in.
At the start of each match, players will be able to choose from one of three professions: News Hawk, Police, or Doctor. Each profession has its own jobs, investigation tools, and ways of gathering evidence.
No single profession has everything they need to identify the Ripper. You'll need to work together, share what you've discovered, and hopefully figure out who you can trust!
Join us throughout the week as we look at the News Hawk, Police, and Doctor professions to see how each one works in detail!
The icons for Police, Doctor, and News Hawk. Players will see these above job boards and other areas.
While each profession specializes in a different type of investigation, everyone can contribute to the investigation.
Players can use a magnifying glass to trace the Ripper's footprints, for example. The footprints left before and after the murder are visually distinct, allowing investigators to follow the killer's movements around Whitechapel.
The Ripper can be a News Hawk, Police, or Doctor just like everyone else. They have access to the same profession-specific tools and jobs, meaning that the person helping you investigate the murder could also be the person who committed it.
So, choose your profession carefully.
