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
