Eastern Market Murder

In 1899 at Melbourne’s bustling Eastern Market, a sudden attack on a popular fortune-teller left her husband violently murdered. The culprit? A phrenologist with a steadfast defence, who will get away with the grisly murder unless you prove him guilty.

Blood red radishes, a business rivalry, whispers of false friends. When everything is not as it seems, will you foresee how it ends?

Play at home, or at the actual locations in Melbourne, Australia.
