Critic Reviews
- 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.
Beau · Jun 28, 2022 Reviewed on PC, PS5, Series X|S, PS4, XB1Read full review - Shocking content aside, Martha is Dead is a traditional walking simulator and it's no stretch to say that the movement is on prepared rails.
Brau3er · Apr 13, 2022 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Martha Is Dead is probably the most disturbing game I have ever played. What I have witnessed is unheard of. This game deserves massive praise for bringing awareness to mental illness and trauma and the effects they can inflict on a human mind. The story contained enough horror, shock, and twists to leave me with much to think about and create theories. The visuals are unique and should be an example for future games.

Junior Onunkwo · Mar 28, 2022 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Like a heaping of horror media, Martha Is Dead’s solid start and some nuanced supplementary mechanics are betrayed by its worst impulses by the end.
Lee Mehr · Mar 25, 2022 Reviewed on Series X|SRead full review - Overall, Martha is Dead is a great game that will be appreciated by anyone with an affinity for horror and narrative-driven games.
Anmaja · Mar 12, 2022 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Martha is Dead may not be true horror in my opinion but it’s suspenseful and emotional. This is definitely a thumbs up from me.
Dev Crowley · Mar 09, 2022 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - If only Dalcò, rather than honouring his heroine by smothering her search for truth in confounding gloom, had abided by her love of illumination.
Josh Wise · Feb 28, 2022 Reviewed on Series X|SRead full review - However, slight technical issues aside I feel confident in saying that Martha is Dead is one of the best titles I’ve played this year. Its gameplay mechanics are simple but put to use effectively, but it’s the narrative, themes, and the way this is all tied together that really stand out. It’s gruesome, grim, and will be hard to stomach for some people, but if you’re up for a truly gripping and thrilling tale, then Martha is Dead is a must play.
Jamie Collyer · Feb 27, 2022 Reviewed on Series X|SRead full review - Martha is Dead is best appreciated from a distance, because while its narrative premise and setting are certainly impressive, the game itself is slow as molasses and frustratingly clunky.

Trailers & Screenshots:
From the creator of The Town of Light comes Martha is Dead, a first person psychological thriler that combines disturbing and dreamlike tones with a mix of history, superstition and psychological distress. Set in Tuscany in 1944 amid the brutality of the second world war as the conflict intensifies between Germany, its Axis power allies and the Allied forces of the United States, United Kingdom and its empire, the body of a woman has been found, drowned and desecrated at the side of a lake. Martha is dead, and now her twin sister must deal with the fallout from her murder, the acute trauma of loss, all whilst the horror of war draws ever closer.
