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. Martha Is Dead receives mixed reviews on its handling of mental illness as it touches on subjects including abuse, violence, trauma, manipulation, and dissociative identity disorder.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. Horror elements, supernatural elements, gore, and jumpscares can be expected throughout the game. It is narrative-driven there are no enemies to defeat or experience points to gain. The game is a walking simulator in which the player progresses through experiences in the story. She seeks to find the truth behind her twin sister’s murder while struggling with blurred lines between reality and traumatized delusions, which link to the mysterious folklore of a malicious spirit of the White lady whose lover murders and hangs her at the same lake where Martha dies. Giulia must alone deal with the memory lapses condition due to the trauma of losing Martha. Unfortunately, the desecrated corpse of the woman she tried to save is her deaf twin sister, Martha. She fine-tunes her camera until she sees a body in the water and rushes to help.

The tragedy of the twin daughters of a German high general begins when Giulia, a young girl who loves photography, is down by the lake near her home to take some photographs. Set in a fictional town, Romalia, when German-occupied Italy intensifies the conflict between German and Allied forces during World War II.
