4 Penny Coffins Lets You Play 19th-Century Detective – Or a 10-Foot Demon Ripping Friends in Half
Other Ocean’s 4 Penny Coffins blends Among Us with Jack the Ripper in an 1888 Whitechapel social investigation game featuring 8-player and solo modes.
4 Penny Coffins is a social investigation game that blends Jack the Ripper and Among Us with elements of Psychonauts. Up to eight players work together or compete to solve mysteries in 1888 London as a detective or the dastardly Ripper. The detective mode lets players use forensic skills like fingerprint analysis and witness interviews to catch the murderer, while the Ripper mode adds a twist as one player turns into a giant 10-foot demon.
Solo players enter a Magistrate mode where they must identify the Ripper among locked-up suspects. 4 Penny Coffins stands out stylistically with monochromatic visuals until violent moments occur, recreating the look of old newspaper graphics from the era. The game offers a unique blend of horror, social deduction, and puzzle-solving in a humorous, tongue-in-cheek manner, according to Jared Petty, Other Ocean Interactive's marketing manager.
