Our Mutual Friend is a Charles Dickens memory from The Darwin and Dickens Conspiracy: Dickens and Darwin ask you to collect their rich friend John Hammon from a railway station and keep him safe. He then drags you into a scheme to test the woman he is meant to marry.
Part 7 of 8 in Charles Dickens's London Stories
Meet Hammon at the station and walk him out. Blighters ambush you outside, attracted by his wealth, so you have to protect him and kill them. The attack gives Hammon an idea: he wants to be declared dead, lose his fortune on paper and meet his bride, Bella Wilton, as a nobody. You put one of the bodies in the carriage, drive to the Thames and throw it in, then take Hammon to Bella's house.
Meet Dickens and Darwin, find John Hammon at the station, escort him out, defeat the Blighters, load a body into the carriage, dump it in the Thames, then drive to Bella Wilton's house and follow Hammon inside.
Hammon introduces himself to Bella as John Rokesmith and tells her that her fiancé was found dead in the river that morning. Her sympathetic reaction wins him over on the spot.
Darwin explains that Hammon's money and naivety make him easy prey, and that two old men are not escort enough. Hammon admits he has never met Bella and fears she only wants his inheritance. Dumping the body in the river thrills him, as if he were living inside a novel.
50 Berkeley Square
50 Berkeley Square is the fourth Charles Dickens memory: you ride with Dickens to a townhouse said to be the most haunted in London and search it for the cause of the hauntings. It is a short investigation that ends in a fight.
Dead Letters
Dead Letters is the fifth Charles Dickens memory: the Ghost Club looks at a gilded mail coach in a junkyard that is said to be haunted, and your tired twin dozes off beside it. What follows is a carriage rescue that may or may not be real.
Hell's Bells
Hell's Bells is the second Charles Dickens memory: a run of London thefts where every thief swears a demon made them do it. You question a prisoner, visit the robbed pawnbroker, chase a fresh thief and tail another to whoever is giving the orders.
Recollection
Recollection is the third Charles Dickens memory and finishes the hypnotist case from Hell's Bells. Dickens helps your twin remember what happened while under a spell, then you track the hypnotist down, kidnap him and hand him to the police.
