One reload later, I tried to escape through the passage to the east, but a policeman blocks the way. Mob but these guys can rob me next to a well lit pub… I sense some bullshit I can’t go two streets without crossing a policeman or a But it is a good way of getting robbed of my only possession. The option doesn’t even show in the menu, so trying to get pass them only got me to realize that hitting someone in the fist with my eye is not a good way of solving problems.

In this chapter we can’t fight until the very end. Turning my attention towards the barman produced a better result, and he even offered to tell me where the whores go, but sadly I lacked the coins to make him spill the beans.Īnd as soon as I went out of the pub, the trio of unsavory folks stood in the streets next to the pub blocking the way. Trying to talk with them just allowed them the opportunity to tell me to sod off. Inside, we can find the local fauna, a trio of chaps giving me very bad looks. They move very slowly, so when you see them, it takes a while for them to move, so the only way to notice that they are patrolling is noticing their lamps (stationary bobbies don’t carry one) or be so lucky as to get to the street when they are at the far end of their route.Īs a result, I went south towards the docks next to the Thames and found another pub, The Shipinn. You can see a rope in another yard just to the west of the ladder, but I didn’t manage to get there until much later, as the patrolling policeman in that street makes getting there somewhat difficult. Setting the little yard as a base of operations, we can find some entrails inside a barrel in another yard just a little ahead and pretty much nothing else in that part of the map. Luckily, the first door on the left is open and gives access to a little yard with a ladder that takes us to the rooftop of the building, but apart from a chimney there wasn’t that much to do.Īpart from some sightseeing. Well, more like simply patrolling, but I didn’t know at the time.

Apparently, London nights were not very interesting in Jack the Ripper’s time.īut coming back to the game, the first thing I noticed were the lights of the Black Bull pub, but a patrolling bobby blocked the way, so I went south just to encounter another two cops blocking most of the exits, with one chasing me. Whitechapel road is the most interesting one, as it has lot of shops which while not being very useful, as this is the middle of the night and they are all closed, at least make the graphic a bit more interesting and varied than the blue wooden door, blue house door and blue wall that plague the rest of the map. In addition, the streets are mostly empty and uninteresting which makes the process a bit duller that it should be. Can’t you just go to a pub and have a jolly good time?
