Don't go thinking I'm some shivering horror virgin, either. My screenshot folder looks like an accident at an abattoir, and one scene had my trigger fingers stop in their tracks as I realized what was about to happen.
Even the developer bookends the game with trigger warnings and links to a mental health charity, and the final scenes get their own special option to play a version censored by the developer itself. I can see why PlayStation censored it - the only platform to do so you'll get the full experience on Xbox and PC - because there are few sentient beings that won't find at least some part of the game truly upsetting. Sinister vibes become brutal violence, questionable mental health becomes raging psychosis, and something really, really bad happens to a wiener dog. There are some good ideas here that deserved to be in a better game, but as it stands right now, Martha is Dead is a frustrating experience that fails to do justice to those ideas.The horror gets grislier as you make your way through the game, not unlike a body decomposing. The setting is beautiful and lovingly crafted, but actually playing the game often feels like a chore for one reason or the other. The narrative premise is unique and makes its distinct elements work together surprisingly well, but it’s pacing might very well turn you away if you don’t have the patience (or inclination) to stick with it. Thoughts- Martha Is Dead has a lot going for it, but it often gets in its own way. I am waiting for the game to pick up the pace but it never seems too. It feels so slow-paced even for an atmospheric horror game. There are weird moments in the game and sections that just are not fun or scary and feel pointless.
One of the best looking indie horror games that I have seen in years. The setting feels really authentic and immerses me in it's world. The setting feels really Good- The narrative's premise and the story it sets up is one of the most inriguing I have played in years.
