Dense trees fill the horizon, and birds effortlessly flutter through the sky. During the day, exiting the front door unveils the stunning scenery of the lush Italian countryside. While much of my time with Martha is Dead was spent navigating the tight halls of this specific house, some respectably sized exterior areas add a compelling sense of scale to the game. The various trinkets scattered throughout Giulia's family home all seemed purposeful and contributed significantly to the believability of these locations. The quaint shared bedroom of Martha and Giulia felt cozy and comfortable, while the darkroom for film development in the basement felt tense and foreboding. I've certainly never been to 1944-era Italy, but it was easy for me to get lost in the fantasy of this world because of how well set pieces were staged. The hyper-realistic graphical style in Martha is Dead adds an enormous sense of familiarity and relatability to environments.
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.Even in its most tense moments, it's hard to ignore how gorgeous Martha is Dead is. 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.
