4 Penny Coffins Set to Bring- 19th Century Social Investigation Gameplay to PC

Developer Other Ocean has officially announced 4 Penny Coffins, a social investigation game set in the year 1888.

The title features a dark atmosphere centered on the infamous Ripper and will be available for PC players via the Steam platform.

The experience includes both a solo mode for individual play and an online multiplayer mode that supports up to eight participants.

In the multiplayer setting, one player is secretly assigned the role of the Ripper, a demonic murderer who must deceive others while committing crimes.

The remaining players act as investigators who must gather evidence at crime scenes and question suspects to uncover the truth.

The gameplay follows a structured three-phase cycle involving hunting, investigation, and a formal conviction phase where a final verdict is delivered.

This mechanics-driven approach is designed to ensure every round reaches a resolution without the need for endless shouting or stalled discussions.

Players must navigate a world where trust is fragile and evidence can be faked, creating a tense environment of paranoia and social deduction.

While the announcement was made on March 25, 2026, a specific release date for the project has not yet been established.

Potential players can currently view the official announcement trailer and visit the game’s website for more information on these investigative mechanics.
