Hunt Down the Ripper in 4 Penny Coffins
4 Penny Coffins has joined Steam Next Fest with a free demo, giving players a chance to try out its horror and social investigation gameplay ahead of its full release. The demo is available from October 19 to October 26, offering a week to investigate its dark mysteries before the game launches later this month.
For those unfamiliar with the game, 4 Penny Coffins pits a group of detectives against The Ripper, a cleverly disguised villain possessed by a demon. Players must use forensic techniques to investigate crimes, gather evidence, and identify the guilty party while trying to survive an increasingly dangerous investigation.
However, the detectives aren’t the only ones working to control the situation. Playing as The Ripper means using underhanded tactics to stay hidden, including bribing witnesses, tampering with fingerprints, and eliminating pursuers before they get too close to the truth. This creates a tense battle of wits, where gathering evidence and concealing your tracks are equally important.
The game also features both single-player and cooperative modes, giving players different ways to experience its blend of horror, investigation, and social deception.
Players can head over to Steam to try the free demo during Steam Next Fest, which runs through October 26. Those interested can also wishlist the game and join its Discord community to keep up with the latest updates. The full version of 4 Penny Coffins is scheduled to launch on Steam on October 27, just one day after the demo period ends.
