Catch me when you can is a programme paragraph game based on the hunt for that most notorious of murderers, Jack the Ripper. During the game - starting with the introduction below - you will move through different possibilities and outcomes. Click on the red words in the text to navigate. The decisions you make and the luck you have will determine your course and conclusion. Collect clues along the way and tick them off in the Clues Box left, retaining them for future use in the game.
