Despite a promising hook and a convincing immersion into 1940s Italy, Martha Is Dead caters to a tiny audience willing to put up with disturbing themes, game-crashing bugs, and little sense of adventure.

Martha is Dead, despite struggling to hold my attention at times, is a well crafted game, with incredibly detailed visuals and models, an interesting cast of characters, and an unsettling but highly intriguing story to tell. If you're a fan of psychological thrillers and horrors, then Martha is Dead will undoubtedly be your cup of tea.

Shocking content aside, Martha is Dead is a traditional walking simulator and it's no stretch to say that the movement is on prepared rails.

While i feel the game was just a bit too long, I think it masterfully accomplishes what it set out to do. It is definitely more horror than any resident evil title. Abstract and ambiguous where it needs to be. Great

Manque d'optimisation dans ce jeux. Certains crash c'est assez dommage surtout que l'histoire m'avais bien intéresser, cependant le jeux est injouable et ce n'est pas parce que mon pc n'a pas les capacité de le faire tourné.
Je ne peut que noté le fait que certain élément comme la prise et la manipulation des photos d'époque ect sont très bien reproduit et montre quand même un investissement dans ce jeux de la part des devs. D'autre part, de ce que j'ai pu jouer lol, je n'ai pas vu réellement d'élément "horreur".

A game that excelled in story telling. I played the game thinking it was horror but it didn't have even a small fraction of horror unless gore or disturbing content is considered horror. But the story is captivating although it is dark and makes us wonder "wtf is happening?". Also yeah, its a walking simulator, that's a downside.

This game will not leave you feeling indifferent. It’s a gripping narrative that has a great world to enjoy. Not for the faint of heart, but sometimes the best stories aren’t.

A brilliantly narrated thriller, coupled with stunning photorealism, that brings us to the border between reality and the supernatural, for the best and nothing but the best.

Masterpiece. The only game that i want to rate higher than possible, it has no downsides. Very exciting, dramatic, soulful, atmospheric, pleasant, realistic, smart, comfortable, psychological horror thriller game with historical - 1944y touch, asmr effect, very nice voice acting, soundtracks, in short everything. You feel the character, the year, the time, the nature.. you feel like you're there, the sound the graphics the controls are photorealistic and identical to life. The indie level not indie it has benefited the game, beautiful clear realistic graphics and controls, interactions. Despite the horror thing it's sunny and beautiful, comfortable, not dark big part of the plot, not scary game but there are moments with shock content. An atmosphere of mysticism and mystery that you really want to unravel. Some items, area that unbelievably immerse you to this time, exciting it's a little word for these feelings. The partisans mission with telegraph very exciting but it's pity that the developers did not include a normal list of the Morse code, it would better than hints. The list in the game, some letters doesn't make sense and without a normal list you will not understand this list, even those letters that have logic, the majority.. The bicycle, the motor boat, it's so terrible but for some reason very realistic, immersive and EXCITING. I didn't feel monotony or boredom. It's a tragic story as you can see it from the name of the game, not my taste but implemented smartly and correctly. Very interesting photo-camera, etc. Soundtracks very special. Special and smart game. It just needs to be a little clearer so that the plot and the ending are simpler. The idea is perfectly implemented without overpricing. Unlike all sorts of AAA AAAAA garbage. No shooting or combat but very interesting ideas, there are action incredible moments. The game has one ending, you will find the keys, don't be afraid.. But.. in the end, you choose the answers to what really happened, the ending is as you understood. Don't forget how the game is called. These games makes us better.

Even with some hiccups which are normal coming from a tiny studio, Martha Is Dead has a strong personality and it offers a story that will soak our brains for a long time. It's not for the faint of heart, that's for sure.

Martha Is Dead has an interesting story full of disturbing themes and uncomfortable moments. It may suffer from the monotony and has several technical issues, but the story is worth it; if you can stomach that is.

It's a really great game, the gameplay is interesting and the story really makes you think. However, the game has massive performance problems in 4K.

Game similar to Edith Finch trying to produce good story, but ended also like mediocre story with terrible FPS graphic walking simulator.
SummaryMartha Is Dead is a dark first-person psychological thriller, set in 1944 Italy, that blurs the lines between reality, superstition and the tragedy of war.
