One of your characters is a tailor (yes, that is different to a barber, I know, but it’s literally the only difference), who murders his customers, takes their clothing, patches it up, and then sells it to the next customer. In Ravenous Devils, you play as a duo of anti-heroes reminiscent (okay, an explicit carbon copy) of Sweeny Todd and his baker/landlord, Mrs. I enjoyed it a great deal, but it’s also junk I’ll not play again. Ravenous Devils claims to have been inspired by the film, but really the entire production is a “Penny Dreadful”: an enormously cheap little game with a grotesque, sensational theme that’s both entertaining and yet worthlessly shallow. I cannot recommend them enough (they’re available now and then as collections in books). They were crass nonsense of zero literary value that was pulper than pulp fiction, but were enormously successful because they dealt with sensational material, supernatural thrills, criminals and detectives.

People don’t really know what these are anymore, but they were once wildly popular in the UK as a genre consisting of cheap serialised stories published in weekly parts, and each costing a penny. Before the film that Tim Burton and Johnny Depp had way too much fun with, and before even the Stephen Sondheim musical that more people should see a production of, Sweeny Todd was a Penny Dreadful.
