If you complete optional objectives you can even find secrets hidden in the game. Newspapers will also explain about how supplies are very limited, and that food must be rationed to starving families.Īlthough they’re living in Italy, Martha’s father is a German general and gets secret transmissions and telegrams that provide additional insight into the war. Giulia will often comment on how lucky she is to have a house and plenty of food during a time of war. My heart sank when I read through the newspapers in the game, who tried to pin Martha’s murder as something political when it likely wasn’t. The game really does showcase the tragedy of war and it’s very respectfully done. The game is set in 1940’s Italy during World War 2 and Giulia lives with her parents. The premise is simple, but with all of the characters thrown in and without spoiling any plotlines, the plot becomes a lot more complex very quickly. Giulia uses the tools available to her such as her camera to figure out who killed Martha. The protagonist you control is named Giulia and her twin sister is Martha, who is found dead at the beginning of the game. The screenshots I’ll provide herein won’t spoil the plot and won’t be gory in case you’re squeamish. The only kind of spoiler I’ll say is that “Martha Is Dead” (as the game’s name implies). I won’t give any spoilers in our impressions of the preview build. Martha Is Dead is a first-person horror game set in 1940’s Italy that manages to be both lovely and horrifying at the same time. Martha is Dead has you going all over the Tuscany countryside and Giulia is an avid photographer so you get to play around and truly take in the beauty of this place.Home » Game Reviews » Martha Is Dead – Preview Impressions The presentation of this game along with the excellent story really does blend together to make this a very immersive experience. Sometimes there is no right thing, just a lesser of two evils! That Italian Countryside
There are many moments that require you to make a fast decision and these can really make your head spin as you frantically try to figure out what the right thing to do is. You are free to pretty much explore where you want and the gameplay moves at a decent pace.
As you would expect this makes things even more tense and scary as you go about trying to help Giulia deal with the trauma of her sister’s death, finding who killed her, and also dealing with the brutal reality of war that she finds herself living in.
The gameplay of Martha is Dead is all played from the first-person perspective. There is a pretty big twist early on that I will not spoil, but bone chilling is the best way to describe it. That alone sounds great, but this game has such a dark and disturbing twist due to Giulia’s family and her experience of the great war.
