Down Street Station, London[]
The Jack the Ripper stage as seen in the beginning cut scene and a playable map later in the game. Down Street Station is a place based on the London Underground and abandoned Down St. Station in real world London. In the storyline of Shadow Man, Legion appeared to Jack, who was in the underground, telling him to commit suicide in order to cross the veil into Deadside and build him the Asylum.
Eventually Shadow Man comes across the Cathedral of Pain and finds Jack's schism, where he warps through it via the Retractor Key. When he arrives, Shadow Man finds a journal on the desk full of Jack's research and architect blueprints on the walls just like the intro cutscene. The Down Street Station level is an underground green water maze filled with underwater spinning blades and a lot of well hidden cadeaux. When Shadow Man progresses past the watery underground, he comes across the abandoned train cars and subway tunnels. Some areas in the level are rooms with fireplaces and beds and are filled with Jack's victims hanging from the ceiling and under bloody sheets in the bed.
Most of the level is climbing up stairs, shimmying across ledges, swimming underwater, and fighting hordes of Zombie Dogs that put up a good fight. Be sure to check every nook and cranny for caedeaux, secrets, and one of the Accumulators.
The only enemies in this level other than Jack are the Rottweilers turned into demon dogs when the shadow has fallen on Liveside. Just as the other levels with "The Five", one Prism can be found to lead to the Prism Gate to get back to the Asylum Engine Block.
Additional Info
