Ripper Hints
Okay, so who is the Ripper?
You've been playing this game for days, or maybe weeks to get here, and it still isn't clear who the Ripper is, is it? The game is made so that the Ripper can be any of the three remaining Web Runners, Magnotta, Burton, or Falconetti. (Or possibly Catherine Powell, although this seems a long shot!) In fact, if you have version 1.02 or newer, and you play through again, the Ripper will be one of the other two suspects. As a result, there are a lot of bogus clues, and you can construct an argument against any of them, even though act 3 does vary (a little) depending on the real Ripper.
The only real safe way to play it is to save the game just prior to the showdown, and try the suspect you favor. If it doesn't work, reload the game and try again. Even if you win, the reason that you should have picked that suspect is not made clear. So, back up early and often!
