I AM RIPPER, a new British Thriller announced from White Paper Games
I AM RIPPER is a British thriller set in 1980s Britain, developed and published by White Paper Games. Set for release on Steam and Epic Games Stores, the game takes place in 1988 in a small north-western dock town reeling from economic decline and a string of brutal murders confirmed through forensic analysis. You play as a forensic investigator tasked with solving one of the UK’s most prolific crimes. Throughout the investigation, players must make morally charged decisions that ripple through the story, impacting unknown lives and revealing uncomfortable truths about power and consequence. I AM RIPPER aims to fill a gap in the thriller genre—long served by TV, film, and podcasts but rarely explored interactively—by combining tactile gameplay, grounded characters, and non-linear storytelling. While it isn’t strictly a puzzle, horror, or detective game, it draws from each to deliver a rewarding and thematically rich experience that challenges players to confront their own moral boundaries.
What We Can Expect
- Branching narratives Players will be forced to confront choices that’ll ripple through their timelines and change story outcomes in distinct ways.
- Tactile gameplay We love to create gameplay mechanics with high interactivity and this game will be no different. You can see an example of our tactility taken to a new level with the stitch-cutting sequence on our announce trailer.
- Award winning storytelling I AM RIPPER is a fast paced thriller told from multiple perspectives. White Paper Games is known for its performances, storytelling and world building and this game will build upon these traits.
