Premise
Take control of Jack the Ripper and prowl through the streets of Whitechapel, London; killing the 5 women who had wronged you in the past. Avoid detection and the police as you stalk them, and kill anyone who stands in the way of Jack the Ripper.

Problems

Although I want to be historically accurate; the whole plot isn't very canon anyway.

Weapons are very limited in this game and time period, considering the poverty of the area where this all happened. However, it is very possible that Jack the Ripper was a surgeon, so I'll give him a Surgical Knife.

Considering Jack only killed 5 people according to many historians, there were many murders at that time in the same area. Should I link 'em together? I say yes.

Day phases would be a bit boring, since I picture them as Jack just walking around doing mundane tasks and trying to avoid detection from the police. Maybe fight a few gangsters and stuff.

To make the game more challenging, enemies will include gangsters, suitors for the women, and police, and anyone Jack feels like killing.

The letters would also play big parts in the story, and cut scenes would play as Jack writes the letters.

I also think the Day Phases should have some sort of GTA feel to them. You can run around all you want and do a few things at work and then be free to wander. You can either lounge and avoid the cops, or you can go serial killer all up in the streets and get your Suspicion level up, which makes Cops come after you. If you keep it up, Charles Warren himself will appear and a boss fight will ensue.


Thoughts?

Revenge is so overdone. I'd rather see him portrayed as a maniac who kills for the fun of it, or out of some warped sense of justice (though that's getting kinda overdone too).

If I posted my favorite creation; Earth; you would weep tears of laughter, joy, sadness, and rage. That is the most creative story I've ever done. Ever.

And since I just couldn't bear to part with the characters, I kind of made 3 sequels, 2 prequels, and 1 spinoff.
