The second game from LKA, the award-winning developer of “The Town of Light” and specialists in reality-based narrative games focused on tough subjects. The first Indie game to launch using the native Italian language as the default setting – for full immersion into the story and the characters. What will prevail? FEATURES Unashamedly authentic voice acting in Italian The hunt for the truth is shrouded by mysterious folklore and the extreme horror of war that draws ever closer. Martha is dead, and her twin sister Giulia, the young daughter of a German soldier, must alone deal with the acute trauma of loss and the fallout from her murder. There are some good ideas here that deserved to be in a better game, but as it stands right now, Martha is Dead is a frustrating experience that fails to do justice to those ideas.Martha Is Dead is a dark first-person psychological thriller, set in 1944 Italy, that blurs the lines between reality, superstition and the tragedy of war.Īs conflict intensifies between German and Allied forces, the desecrated body of a woman is found drowned… Martha! The setting is beautiful and lovingly crafted, but actually playing the game often feels like a chore for one reason or the other. The narrative premise is unique and makes its distinct elements work together surprisingly well, but it’s pacing might very well turn you away if you don’t have the patience (or inclination) to stick with it. Thoughts- Martha Is Dead has a lot going for it, but it often gets in its own way.

I am waiting for the game to pick up the pace but it never seems too. It feels so slow-paced even for an atmospheric horror game. There are weird moments in the game and sections that just are not fun or scary and feel pointless. One of the best looking indie horror games that I have seen in years.

The setting feels really authentic and immerses me in it's world. The setting feels really Good- The narrative's premise and the story it sets up is one of the most inriguing I have played in years.
