About This Game

Twenty years ago, a chilling silence fell over the idyllic suburban town of Ridgewater. For months prior, the Ridgewater Ripper had carved a bloody page into the community's history, a nightmare of escalating brutality that culminated in the unsolved murder of your own mother. Then, without explanation, the killings simply stopped. Ridgewater has endured twenty uneasy years since, every day overshadowed by the unanswered question of who the Ripper truly was.

You are Emma Blackwood. Tonight marks twenty years since the Ripper's last murder. Every year, this date brings a cold, sharp reminder of the violence that shattered your family. You are attempting to find some measure of composure within the familiar walls of your childhood home—the very house where your life was irrevocably marked by tragedy.

But the night does not offer peace; it offers terror.

The security of your suburban sanctuary is an illusion, one that begins to crack and splinter the moment the sun sets. An unsettling feeling washes over you, the primal, deep-seated sense that you are no longer alone, that someone or something malevolent is watching you from the shadows just beyond your windows. You begin to notice things that are fundamentally wrong, subtle displacements in the mundane familiarity of your home. A door you know you locked is now ajar. A light in a distant room flickers where there should be darkness. Footfalls echo on the floor above where you swear you are the only occupant.

It becomes terrifyingly clear that the Ripper did not disappear—he simply waited. He has returned for the anniversary, not just to haunt the town, but to finish the bloody work he started two decades ago. And this time, he is here for you.

Experience a night of relentless, psychological terror in Ridgewater Ripper. Every creaking floorboard and unexplained anomaly ramps up the tension, forcing you to question what is real and what is a trick of the mind. As you desperately navigate your home, realising that your sanctuary has become a meticulously crafted trap, you will confront the agonising possibility that the man who ruined your life has been watching you, waiting for this exact moment, all along.
