We solved Jack The Ripper!
Whitechapel, 1888. Jack the Ripper hasn't struck yet, and "Inspector Nathaniel" has just marched into London with one objective: catch the most notorious serial killer in history before the first victim falls. Tan's approach is methodical — prove he's from the future by predicting verifiable events, use that credibility to get inside Scotland Yard, then position himself to intercept the Ripper. Can ChatGPT actually solve unsolved true crimes? Only one way to find out.
The Game Master has other ideas, dropping Tan straight into the fog of Whitechapel where a woman's scream and a suspicious figure rushing past nearly derail the entire long game before it starts. Tan's armed with knowledge from a recent Jack the Ripper walking tour and the graphic novel From Hell. The Game Master is armed with every theory ever published and an irritating habit of inserting "fun factoids" about gas streetlights that absolutely nobody asked for. The tension between Tan's careful detective work and the AI's love of dramatic set-pieces is the engine of the whole episode.
Jack the Ripper terrorised London's East End in the autumn of 1888, killing at least five women in attacks so brutal they sparked one of the largest manhunts in British history. Over a century later, the case remains officially unsolved. Theories range from local suspects to Prince Albert Victor, Queen Victoria's grandson. Whether Inspector Nathaniel and his notebook full of future predictions can crack it before the Game Master turns the whole thing into a Victorian thriller remains to be seen.
If you were sent back in time, could you survive and thrive — or would you be burnt at the stake for being a witch? PastMaster is the show that turns history into an interactive adventure game. Each episode, a comedian is dropped into the past with nothing but modern knowledge and terrible ideas. The AI Game Master is strict. The chaos is inevitable. The past will be mastered.
Era: Industrial | 1888 CE | London, England
Contains: Discussions of historical violence, references to the Whitechapel murders.
