In this utterly infamous RPG first-person adventure game you play as an average joe traveling through time to possess your good ancestors to kill off your evil ancestors to save your unconscious brother from a witch's curse. You go to ancient Egypt, a haunted graveyard in the early 1800s, a modern mine filled with plant cultists, and London during the Jack the Ripper murders.

The London stage is perhaps the most interesting chapter, there is more focus on exploration and stealth then on combat (in fact the only fight in the level is against Jack the Ripper himself). Emphasis on stealth since your playing as Jack's twin brother and since the historic murderer has just taken out his most recent victim the police are a out patrolling with their dogs AND there is an angry mob looking for justice. Both parties will mistake you for Jack the Ripper and if they catch you they will quickly punish you for his crimes.

This is the theme that plays when the aforementioned lynch mob is close by. Your mileage will vary for this one, but this song just terrifies me. Mainly because it had a habit of popping up at the most random times. Unlike the cops, the mob wanders around the map randomly and WILL chase you until you get out of their sights. Not to mention if the mob catches you you are treated to one of the more brutal death scenes in the game.... Which is really saying something in a game which does not cut corners in showing what horrible thing happened to your protagonist.
