4 Penny Coffins is a werewolf-style competitive mystery game from Other Ocean Interactive, set in Whitechapel, London in 1888, for up to eight players. An open beta ran until October 13, 2026, and a PC Steam release is planned with Japanese language support.
Other Ocean Interactive has spent the year explaining 4 Penny Coffins in public before releasing it. The developer, known for Project Winter, set the game in Whitechapel, London in 1888, where one player becomes Jack the Ripper and up to eight others investigate the murders. The first dev diary, in early July, described a game played across three phases and focused on the investigation phase. Evidence there is a physical item that can be hidden or tampered with, and the Ripper can interfere with clues. The second dev diary, in August, added the death system: executed or murdered players return as ghosts who collect evidence but cannot speak to the living.
Both diaries pointed to a PC Steam release with Japanese support. The open beta, which opened in October and ran until October 13, was the first time the public could play. It included a solo and co-op Magistrate mode and a PvP Ripper mode at no cost. The beta kept the eight-player ceiling from the diaries. The studio has framed the design around unreliable evidence, a problem distinct from the survival distrust of Project Winter.
Coverage has consistently named the same platforms and format. No story states a release window beyond the planned PC Steam launch. No price, studio size, or additional platform has been given.
