But I can’t review the game at this stage for a single, critical reason. The game shows true heart and true promise, but unfortunately doesn’t go much past that at this point. Set in Italy during World War II, the game follows a young woman in the days following her sister’s sudden and shocking death. So when Martha is Dead was announced, and said to be a psychological horror game set in a time of war, I firmly believed The LKA team could do these issues justice.

LKA is, to me, best known for approaching some very sensitive topics in The Town of Light. 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.I don’t believe topics should be ignored in games, but I do believe that certain issues need to be handled delicately things like mental illness, sexual assault, and war are not topics to be taken lightly. 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.
