Oct. 2025

I liked it, but I see where the complaints come from. I turned the graphics down a bit but still got stutters, but they're manageable. It's more of a psychological drama than a true horror game. I'd place it closer to an adventure game than a walking sim. There's really no failure state, the story is linear but there's plenty you can miss. Some people disliked the occasional gore and unsettling scenes. I was fine with them, but you'll have to make that decision for yourself. The ending seems to leave some of the loose ends up for interpretation, which is just fine. If you're up for a disturbing story, you might like it. Now I can go back and watch all the youtube videos on this game I skipped to avoid spoiler.

Martha is Dead left me speechless. It’s more than a game — it’s an experience that crawls under your skin and lingers in your thoughts. I felt every moment: the fear, the confusion, the beauty hidden in the darkness. When the credits rolled, I just sat there, staring, trying to process what I had been through. This isn’t a story you simply play… it’s one you survive.

It's about a 7/10 for me. I enjoyed this as a visually immersive game that transports you into 1940's Tuscany countryside, with a lot of attention to historical detail mixed with psychological horror. It has good voiceover and music, the camera and telegram elements were neat, and skillfully includes Nazi subject matters without being overstated. It hooked me for the initial 3/4 of the game, but once you get to the last 1/4 it looses its chilling period-piece charm, to be replaced with puppets, confusion, and over-dramatic themes. Towards the end it leaves it up to the player to decipher or decide the interpretation of the story, with very blurry lines of illusions and truth. I understand that it was trying to convey the struggles of trauma and mental illness, but games like these with intentionally vague storylines can cause them to feel both frustratingly complex and shallow at the same time. In which case, I just end up manually looking up what the story is most likely supposed to be so I can feel a little less disappointed. Worked mostly fine and ran smoothly on my ROG AllyX despite low FPS, though I did run into a couple of bug crashes and getting stuck in places with the bicycle(don't bother attempting to use it in small spaces). It also prevented me from finishing a couple of side quests towards the end of the game that I didn't know had a chapter limit for completion. Despite some flaws, my positive impression of its graphics and interesting atmosphere allow it to still feel worth buying during a sale.

This game isn't hard or scary in the traditional sense. The gore isn't scary. But the entire thing, is still quite disturbing and menacing. From the background soundscape, to the eerie environment set against the beginning of WW2, to our unreliable narrator. The game is an easy play if you're a casual gamer. Puzzles are pretty simple. Not much for jump scares. Just a lot of point and click and walking around. The story though could be quite triggering. Even if you aren't normally triggered by content that touches on mental illness, miscarriage, war etc... this one is done in such a personable way. I wouldn't suggest anyone currently pregnant play the game, I am glad I didn't when it first came out because I was. The game also includes self harm. I had tried watching this game online to see if I'd be interested, and it seemed boring. It's a different experience when you're actually playing it. One piece of advice, try to do your side quests and achievements during chapters that have daylight, and before the last chapter of the game. I didn't realise I was at the end and had to cram in a bunch in the dark, it wasn't easy!

This game is beautiful. It's heartbreaking, gorgeous, will have you crying, and will have you smiling. It's gut wrenching and twisted but beautiful. The story is painfully brutal and sad, but it gives you the time to really enjoy it. As someone who cannot handle jumpscares, this game was amazing in that the horror aspect was in the atmosphere. The multiple story lines offer a unique experience and it paces itself nicely. Overall I cannot recommend this game enough.
