    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.

    Martha is Dead is not a surprise, but a confirmation of what LKA had already shown it can do in The Town of Light.

    Martha is Dead captivates and always leaves you wanting more. It is also, without a doubt, one of the hardest and most deeply themed games I have ever played, bordering on the unbearable at various points. A story like few others, a universe not so explored and unexpected and original twists.

    LKA has created an initially very solid mystery that gradually sinks into incomparable morbidity and an unfortunately more dispersed conclusion.

    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.

    In the end Martha is Dead feels like an arthouse movie, when you have to decipher the game yourself, while having all kind of emotions. Whether you'll like it or not is very hard to tell.

    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.

    Brilliant game with immersive experience. I recommend this game to people who likes graphic rather than the gameplay.

    Estava cansado de jogos de terror genéricos como Layers Of Fear, Resident Evil 7, Outlast e sei lá quais drogas mais existem. Martha Is DeadEstava cansado de jogos de terror genéricos como Layers Of Fear, Resident Evil 7, Outlast e sei lá quais drogas mais existem. Martha Is Dead entrega algo que os verdadeiros fãs do gênero querem: terror!. Acredito que o jogo tenha se renovado no gênero e criado um estilo próprio, mesmo que muitos não gostem. É difícil cenas de violência me chocarem, mas essas tem uma aura que me deixa extremamente desconfortável, na maior vibe Silent Hill possível. Provavelmente muitos vão odiar, mas é um jogo que nos mostrou algo novo em uma indústria de jogos de terror que está, atualmente, em queda o preço poderia ser mais baixo? Sim, mas eu dou um desconto pra isso haha. Parabéns a todos os desenvolvedores, está incrível.… Expand

    Un thriller psicologico molto complesso dove dovremmo gestire noi come far avanzare la storia e gli eventi nel gioco ci sono moltisimi enigmiUn thriller psicologico molto complesso dove dovremmo gestire noi come far avanzare la storia e gli eventi nel gioco ci sono moltisimi enigmi dai più semplici a quelli più diabolici senza mai perdere il tetro che e alla base del gioco. Dobbiamo esplorare ogni minimo angolo sia delle case che fuori, tutto è perfettamente in linea con lo stile tipico toscano, così possiamo anche vedere la cura maniacale che i ragazzi di LKA hanno messo in questo gioco è veramente tanta. Una cosa che ho amato giocando a Martha is Dead è quella di fare le foto e stamparle, è stato tutto ricreato alla perfezione come all’epoca. Scattare le foto, metterle a fuoco inquadrare tutto manualmente come se stessimo davvero impugnando una reflex di quegli anni. Come dettto poche righe più sopra, tutti i dettagli le location sono rapressentate in modo magistrale senza e se senza ma. Tanto che sembra di essere nella realtà una grafica strabiliante, perfetta. Sono veramente rimasto sorpreso una volta avviato il gioco, la ricerca del fotorealismo è evidente.… Expand
