    With a title called Jack the Ripper: Letters from Hell (2009) you’d expect to be playing an interesting HOG. Like Frankenstein: The Dismembered Bride (2009) developers Mzone Studio and Solilab however use a famous character without any care or ambition. The game is over before it begins; that is if you can get through finding/clicking badly coded items and nonsense puzzles which include clicking twenty sheep on screen or putting a long list of graffiti back on walls in the order you took them off a couple of puzzles before. Try to put a camera tripod together in a shadow; one false click and you start again. Or take part in the police constable’s memory questions which if answered incorrectly could land you in jail, that’s as fun as it gets folks. Even if you take into account how stupid someone would have to be to fake being a serial killer the awful puzzles and badly animated hidden object scenes pretty much kill the whole game right away. Like Frankenstein this game also got an Extended Edition which while obviously extending the game length does nothing to make it any more fun. I mean the game’s developers still couldn’t be bothered to deliver an ending. It’s just sad as the developers took an interesting piece of history and botched it.

    Letters from Hell is an unfinished, rough mess. It’s got an interesting concept and a thrilling history badly handled. It’s a game that is both extremely short and lacking any ambition. The whole game just feels half-hearted and any attempt to engage with the infuriating gameplay makes it a chore to sit through. Did the developers just not care? Someone tell Jack I’ve found a new means of torture.    … Expand
