Eastern Market Murder takes you back in time to the scene of a horrific crime, all while walking through the streets of Melbourne using augmented reality to meet the characters involved. Can you bring the killer to justice?

Emma Ramsay and Andy Yong join us to talk about how they researched the history of this true crime, and worked with the descendants of the real world people involved to create this interactive game.

Pixel Sift is produced by Viv Thum, Fiona Bartholomaeus, Daniel Ang & Adam Christou. Mitch Loh is Senior Producer and Gianni Di Giovanni is our Executive Producer.

Thanks to Salty Dog Sounds for some of our promo music.

Some good ninja stuff, good samurai stuff, it took them a long time to get here but boy I'm glad they did.

Pros:
  • Naoe feels like the old assassins from previous games
  • Yasuke definitely doesn't, which is very welcome change
  • Absolutely stunning world that feels busy and lived in
Cons:
  • Maybe the world actually might be too big?
  • It's an evolution not a revolution, if you've bounced off Assassin's Creed in the past this doesn't break the mold.
