All the areas are richly detailed with many environmental effects to immerse you in the story. Graphically speaking, Martha is Dead looks great. I think some of the latter story bits were a bit of filler, but for the most part this is a tightly knitted tale of horror and mystery. Some of them are probably over the top, but they do fit the narrative of the story well and the developers did a fantastic job of creating a very unnerving environment throughout the entire game. There are some pretty gruesome and disturbing scenes throughout the game depicting self harm among other things.
The game will give you several warnings about the content contained here, and they aren’t kidding. I want to be very careful here to keep this review as spoiler free as possible, since uncovering the mystery in Martha is Dead is the crux of the whole experience. Was it the White Lady that haunts the lake that killed her? Was she killed by random soldiers, or maybe even something more sinister? This quest will lead Giulia down a very dark path of discovery that will not only uncover a past she had forgotten about, but maybe even what actually happened to her sister. This begins to eat away at her very quickly, and she begins to look into what really happened to her sister. They couldn’t tell the girls apart and she figured it would be easier on them to lose the daughter they loved less. The odd thing about this is Martha is dressed in Giulia’s clothing, and since their mother was always kinder to Martha, Giulia just assumes her sister’s identity. One night Giulia makes a horrible discovery: her sister Martha is dead and floating in the lake. Their father is a commander in the German army during this time and they live in a small village in a forest by the lake. You play as Giulia, who has a twin sister named Martha. Our story begins in Italy during World War II. The big question is does the game deliver a great story with all this madness, and is it any fun to play? Let’s find out! I didn’t really know what to expect when I fired this up, but with all of the warnings I expected there would be some extreme content. It’s been quite a while since I played a true horror game, so when I got a chance to check out the somewhat controversial Martha is Dead I decided to jump on it.
