You get to decide if the events you are seeing are true, if they line up with what’s said, and the eventual ending will even ask you “what do you think happened?” Along the way we are met with a cryptic unreliable narrator describing the events in her own view, but the magical thing about the game is that everything is open-ended to the player. The further the game goes, the darker her mindset becomes. As Giulia is discovering what killed her sister, she has to dive deep into her memories and dark thoughts to figure things out.
It’s really neat this aspect of the game plays out its own story, which intertwines beautifully with the core story to really push the main character further into darkness as she has a hard time dealing with the circumstances of the situation. The details of war are so intricate too, with vibrant details or what is happening, but also interesting images that take place.įor example at one point I discovered a Nazi hideout and there was a lot of stolen artwork and museum pieces locked away in the back corner. With notes and letters spread out through the game alerting you of being shot on site for not meeting their demands, it becomes a true danger. You can sense real danger when you come across them. While the game itself is filled with horror, the most horror I felt was actually roaming around and coming across Nazi hideouts in the forest. Giulia also wakes up every day with a new newspaper on the table which details major events happening in the war. In some instances these attacks even affect the house you are in as the power will go out or flicker, or you can see bombs drop in the distance. With Martha Is Dead you are a simple family that gets stuck right in the battlefield, so all the radios are turned on and random news alerts will come on alerting of potential attacks in the area. Most WWII games throw you directly into battle, shooting up enemies, and discovering Nazi secrets like no big deal. The concept of this story taking place during WWII is the most intriguing aspect of the entire game. While all this is happening we have a backdrop of Italy during World War II, allowing us to roam around the countryside and listen to live news alerts. During her journey to learn just how Martha died, Giulia uncovers secrets and memories that reflect on her life revealing what caused a mental collapse in her as a child.
Giulia decides to take the opportunity to “become” her sister, fooling her family into believing she was the one who died and taking the place as the favorite child instead.
The story takes place as the twin sister of a young girl has died, but the main character, Giulia, is left dealing with the outcome of the situation.
#Ps5 i am dead Pc
Platforms: PC (Steam), PS4/PS5 (Reviewed on PS5), Xbox Series X Yet here I am several days after completing it totally anxious to talk about everything that happened. I did not expect Martha Is Dead to be one of my favorite all time games when I popped it in. Instead, it’s a gripping, story driven, title that utilizes horror elements to power home a beautifully crafted story of a family stuck in the middle of World War II. Martha Is Dead is a game I thought was going to simply be another gruesome horror title in a list of walking jump scares.
