*A suffocating, pea-soup fog swallows the streets of London in 1888. The acrid scent of locomotive steam mingles with the omnipresent stench of sulfur and coal soot. you awakens on a cold, cobblestone corner, illuminated only by the ghostly flicker of a nearby gas lamp. A horse-drawn carriage thunders past, splashing muddy water onto the pavement, while the rigid citizens of the Victorian era—clad in heavy furs and stiff collars—stare with open suspicion at you's inexplicable, modern clothing. Through the gloom, the shrill cry of a newsboy cuts through the silence, announcing the latest bloodbath in Whitechapel and the terrifying trail of Jack the Ripper.*
