Not the richest, mind you, but very well-off. Her house is somewhat large and they are a rich Italian family. The game is linear at first, but eventually you’re given the option to explore freely before completing the main missions. The main hub of the game is Giulia’s house where the majority of the game takes place. There is a lot of lore in the game, not just with the time period but with the main cast of characters. 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. Home » Game Reviews » Martha Is Dead – Preview Impressions
