![]() ![]() Martha is dead, and now her twin sister must deal with the fallout from her murder, all whilst the horror of war draws ever closer. 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. It’s 1944, and the body of a woman has been found, drowned and desecrated, by the side of a lake in the depths of an Italian countryside. 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. If you are looking to be afraid you may find more tension than something scary. Thoughts- Martha Is Dead has a lot going for it, but it often gets in its own way. A title that you can enjoy if you are a lover of the genre, but that you play it knowing that something is missing, knowing that it could have been something more. 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. ![]() The hunt for the truth is shrouded by mysterious folklore and the extreme horror of war that draws ever closer. There are weird moments in the game and sections that just are not fun or scary and feel pointless. Martha 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. 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. ![]() Good- The narrative's premise and the story it sets up is one of the most inriguing I have played in years. ![]()
