As part of the "Jack the Ripper" affair, Francis J. Tumblety, a charlatan doctor, is arrested and released on bail. He immediately fled to the United States. Alerted by London, the New York police search Tumblety. Some testimonies mention his presence in Manhattan and crimes, with a procedure similar to those of London, are committed. The police then call on the city's most prominent citizens to help with his investigation. Is Tumblety really Jack? If not, how else does it hide? These are the stakes of "Mr. Jack in New York".

By successive deductions and placing the characters in the shadow or in the light, the player must find under what identity is hidden the infamous Jack and try to capture him. His opponent, Jack, is doing his best to delay the investigation. He even tries to take advantage of the darkness to leave the place forever!
