About The Hunter's Journals - Red Ripper

A diplomatic mission...with a lethal twist!

YOU are a hunter; a man or woman of wealth and leisure who has turned their time to hunting the fiendish monsters that assail humanity. You have been selected to accompany an ambassador to the city of Roche Divine in the Sunlight Alliance. While he pursues trade deals in the high court, your job is to hunt down a Broadsheet Killer who is wreaking havoc in the Low City.

A choose your own adventure novel in which your choices and actions can lead you to glorious victory...or ignoble defeat. Explore an original story with three challenging game difficulties, unlock hidden lore to better understand the world you enter, and enjoy the artwork you discover in the gallery.

This independently produced novel features a dark soundtrack (with optional atmospherics) by Cryo Chamber, as well as over 40 unique page images to unlock.
The text of the game has also been recorded by a professional musician and story-teller, making it into an interactive audiobook. Featuring an improved interface layout, and introducing the new Heirloom system to help you make it through your most challenging adventure to date, Red Ripper is an old-fashioned, spine-chilling steampunk tale you can enjoy time and time again.

[h1] The Hunter's Journals - Red Ripper [/h1] A unique fantasy visual novel + Story + Characters + Graphics + Game length, many hours of replay value + It is a smart game, requires a mature vocabulary. [B] “You are a hunter of beasts and monsters”. [/B] So begins our next quest in the “Hunter’s Journals” series.

You can only select one, you can however change your selection and see it will affect your outcome. It is all about choice; you determine your own fate. My fate was to die pretty quickly because I launched right into expert mode. It sounded easy enough. Right? Wrong. This is a maze through a cornfield, you need to be strategic and think about your options. Luckily it was an easy reload and selection of a new story arc. I opted to die many times just to see how it would play out. Like its predecessors “The Hunter's Journals - Red Ripper” is another rich absorbing story.

This is a game you can take a break from and come back k…

[i]''I never plan my novels because if I know what is going to happen, it bores me rigid.

The Hunter's mission is to track & hunt a Broadsheet Killer (so called because a Broadsheet was a large sheet press that focused on Prime News of the day particularly serial murders, crimes and more) who gruesomely murders victims leaving a trail of mystery, dread and gore in the killer's wake. In this new adventure the Hunter requires a much more refrained approach as Roche Divine is a city of contrasts where etiquette, caste and a destitute population mean the wrong words or actions can have disastrous results even when the Hunter is proficient in the Enochian language. As with every Choose Your Own Adventure tale, each choice made can lead to many early deaths and it will be no different here as you try & learn from your wrong…

Even on the easiest setting, it is extremely challenging and each point of health and items matters so much, find your way through this weird and crazy, but intense and memorable adventure :) If you'd like to see what we're playing next with regular updates, or request to review a game, feel free to follow us at: https://store.steampowered.com/curator/35688508-Ember-Works-Reviews/
