An interactive murder mystery unraveled by communicating with the dead …literally.

Faithfully reenacted from original court records and letters, the game allows players to investigate the true case of Australia’s first female serial killer. Ask your own questions to determine whether she was truly guilty – or unjustly executed. This provocative format challenges players to reflect on their own prejudices and reconsider the verdict of a contentious legal case. Was the accused a callous adulteress, drunkard, and liar – or a victim of sexist expectations?
