    DEPARTMENT OF INFORMATICS TECHNISCHE UNIVERSITÄT MÜNCHEN Master Thesis in Informatics: Games Engineering On the Trail of Jack the Ripper - A Serious Game about a Cold Case Andrea Müller DEPARTMENT OF INFORMATICS TECHNISCHE UNIVERSITÄT MÜNCHEN Master Thesis in Informatics: Games Engineering On the Trail of Jack the Ripper - A Serious Game about a Cold Case Auf den Spuren von Jack the Ripper - Ein Serious Game zu einem ungeklärten Kriminalfall Author: Andrea Müller Supervisor: Prof. Gudrun Klinker, Ph.D. Advisor: Dr. rer. nat. David A. Plecher, M.A. Submission Date: 15.06.2021 I confirm that this master thesis in informatics: games engineering is my own work and I have documented all sources and material used. Munich, 15.06.2021 Andrea Müller Abstract Over the last decades, many non-traditional topics have been covered by Serious Games. This includes games with Cultural Heritage purposes. In comparison, Jack the Ripper is a historical person that has been featured in the media abundantly to a point where the myths around Jack the Ripper may be more prevalent than the actual facts. With the On the Trail of Jack the Ripper game, a Serious Heritage game was created with the purpose of introducing the Whitechapel murders of 1888 to its players. In order to present different angles of the cases, the game does not only teach them about the incidents themselves, but also focuses on the circumstances in which they happened. Thereby, its aims to dissolve myths and intends to raise Cultural Awareness for the living conditions of people in the East End, including poverty and antisemitism.
