The one that hits home the most is the removal of Martha’s face with a dog tag, then putting it on her own face. There are some graphic body horror used that I am sure will upset some people. I do not believe these sections should have been censored, even more so when you can turn it off. In Martha is Dead, these senses add an insight into Giulia’s mental state and her how she has been affected by war and other things. I will start with I do not mind what so ever that games will add more disturbing elements to the narratives, as long as they serve a purpose. As well as the censorship on Playstation. This leads in to the more disturbing aspects of Martha is Dead. The gameplay is really just about walking about investigating everything you can interact with, take pictures and find out the truth about Martha. As the family believe Giulia is dead.Īs you explore the region, you will collect more information on what has happened to Martha, while dealing with Giulia’s own guilt, melancholy thoughts, and deteriorating mental health.

You will need to figure out why Martha was drowned and stick to Martha’s routine. So as we take our time and taking in the sights of woodlands and a beautiful house that has Martha’s corpse in it (standard practice). Oh, you can run, but it’s more like a fast walk. Now I know we humans don’t walk too fast, but this pace makes the gameplay is so dull. You will spend your time meandering about at a snail’s pace, around Giulia’s house and woodlands. Martha is dead is a walking Simulator with narrative focus on gameplay. The story has some real highlights and twists and turns that would have been amazing if only the game play was not so slow. This leads Giulia to her own conclusions of why Martha is dead and she tries to bring the culprit to justice. Who was killed for allegedly having an affair. In order to find the truth, Giulia reaches out to a specter from a children’s story, the White lady. Giulia takes on the life of Martha in order to get the recognition and love of her abusive mother. You play as Giulia, who finds her twin sister Martha dead in the lake near her house. Martha is Dead is set in German occupied Italy WW2. It seems as if the developers wanted to shock and disgust you, while forgetting how to make the game fun.

Parts I did like while I ended up bored more than anything.
