To the ordinary people of the Victorian Era, monsters are just silly superstitions, the subject of folktales from backwards and uneducated peasants, or the ramblings of drunkards, or penny dreadfuls full of sensational and lurid tales. But you are far from ordinary. You have seen horrors that would stop a brave man's heart. And you have lived to tell about it.
You have lived to fight it.
You are a Ripper—one of a secret band of monster hunters dedicated to saving humanity— and the horrors that stalk the night are your prey. To aid in this struggle, Rippers extract the essence of these monsters' powers and use them to enhance their own abilities. But be warned, by taking such horrific measures you risk losing your mind…or worse. Torn between the need for greater power and the threat of terrifying insanity, you must choose how best to fight the creatures of the night. Choose well, for if the Rippers fail humanity is lost!
