My opinions may differ greatly from yours. They may shock, but they don’t have any value. However, some decisions regarding what is shown, and what is said don’t quite have a place. While it is a psychological horror, it also plays a part in highlighting mental health and other psychological conditions. I’m a believer in shock value and if done right can have an important impact on a story. On the other, it seems to show some content that feels out of place and feels far too unnecessary. On one hand it’s a brave story about abuse, self-harm, and the pain of war. Martha is Dead has you going all over the Tuscany countryside and Giulia is an avid photographer so you get to play around and truly take in the beauty of this place.I’m conflicted with Martha is Dead. The presentation of this game along with the excellent story really does blend together to make this a very immersive experience. Sometimes there is no right thing, just a lesser of two evils! That Italian Countryside There are many moments that require you to make a fast decision and these can really make your head spin as you frantically try to figure out what the right thing to do is. You are free to pretty much explore where you want and the gameplay moves at a decent pace. As you would expect this makes things even more tense and scary as you go about trying to help Giulia deal with the trauma of her sister’s death, finding who killed her, and also dealing with the brutal reality of war that she finds herself living in. The gameplay of Martha is Dead is all played from the first-person perspective. There is a pretty big twist early on that I will not spoil, but bone chilling is the best way to describe it. That alone sounds great, but this game has such a dark and disturbing twist due to Giulia’s family and her experience of the great war.
