Whitehall Mystery
Players cooperate to track a hidden killer through the foggy streets of Victorian London. One player secretly moves the murderer and places clues while the other players control detectives who deduce routes, collect evidence and set traps. Turns alternate between concealed movement and investigative deduction, with time pressure and limited resources shaping decisions. The game blends deduction and pursuit as detectives triangulate the killer’s position from found clues and witness reports until they capture the culprit or the killer escapes.

from 8 Ludoya reviews
Onbase10.0 I love how this game gets out of the way to provide such a pure and tense experience between Jack and the investigators. The gameplay is so mechanically simple and the map is so well-designed that you instantly try to outsmart your opponents rather than try and beat the game. It creates an intense connection between the players that I rarely find in other games. I just want to keep playing this.
