Dobbiamo esplorare ogni minimo angolo sia delle case che fuori, tutto è perfettamente in linea con lo stile tipico toscano, così possiamo anche vedere la cura maniacale che i ragazzi di LKA hanno messo in questo gioco è veramente tanta. Una cosa che ho amato giocando a Martha is Dead è quella di fare le foto e stamparle, è stato tutto ricreato alla perfezione come all’epoca. Scattare le foto, metterle a fuoco inquadrare tutto manualmente come se stessimo davvero impugnando una reflex di quegli anni. Come dettto poche righe più sopra, tutti i dettagli le location sono rapressentate in modo magistrale senza e se senza ma. Tanto che sembra di essere nella realtà una grafica strabiliante, perfetta. Sono veramente rimasto sorpreso una volta avviato il gioco, la ricerca del fotorealismo è evidente. Expand

É difícil cenas de violência me chocarem, mas essas tem uma aura que me deixa extremamente desconfortável, na maior vibe Silent Hill possível. Provavelmente muitos vão odiar, mas é um jogo que nos mostrou algo novo em uma indústria de jogos de terror que está, atualmente, em queda o preço poderia ser mais baixo? Sim, mas eu dou um desconto pra isso haha. Parabéns a todos os desenvolvedores, está incrível. Expand

    The game is not for everyone, but if you're a casual not into jumpscares, but into storytelling BUY IT IMMEDIATELY. Negative reviews that are made here are clearly made by childish and still not matured people. Trust me, support this project made with love and smart storytelling and cinematography. Just be prepared to a slower paced game than usual. But that's not the game's fault.

    This game is one of the best I have ever played. It takes a while to get into, but in the end it is so much more than just great visuals. Deeply moving and a great story about war and mental illness.

    I didn't expect it to be this good. Very well crafted and written game. Amazing and very realistic visuals. One of the best psychological horrors that i have played.

    I would call it a very weird and even a bad game. It left me disappointed and frustrated. But aftera month or so I can call it a brilliant piece of art about mental illness, just like Hellblade Senua's Sacrifice. It looks very good, it has interesting characters and story. Half of the time I really enjoyed it. But... There were weird and illogical plot twists. There were plot lines thatI would call it a very weird and even a bad game.

It looks very good, it has interesting characters and story. Half of the time I really enjoyed it. But... There were weird and illogical plot twists. There were plot lines that meant nothing for it's story. Game had some disgusting violent scenes, but when some real violence happened and I would except you see it, it was off screen... There was a mini-game that was absolutely boring, meaningless and long. It was the worst part for me. And the ending... Khm... It was visually absolutely stunning, but it left me fully frustrated. As I said, it was sometimes a good experience, but as a whole - disappointing. But I keep thinking about it. And as my disappointment is loosing it's sharpness, I begin to understand all those "bad" decisions. They make total sense and are done to illustrate mental illness. Next part of my review will be full of spoilers as I want to explain some elements of the game and why they aren't bad as I thought at first. SPOILERS

    SPOILERS

    SPOILERS

    First of all, violence. There are disgusting scenes, but most of them are happening in protagonist's mind only. And real violence that I would except to see is hidden. That's how our brain works, it tries to hide really painful and traumatic experience from us. Especially when person is I'll, he (she) can fully wipe it. Then, dollhouse mini-game. It was just awful. Boring, very long, without any sense. But. I realize now it was the only way for protagonist to "understand" what happened, to put it in order. She doesn't know what really happened, just like us. She is in the same position as we as players. Dollhouse, magical plot lines are made to show how her brain works, how hard is to put on order pretty simple things she saw by herself. How it's hard to catch up with reality. And the ending that gives literally zero answers and makes us to decide what happened is brilliant. It left me frustrated. Just like heroine was. She doesn't know what happened and she has to choose any option and to believe on it just to make her world more safe, structured. Once again, it's a weird and a bad game. But it gave me the feelings that protagonist was feeling, and it deserves some respect. I really want to thank devteam for that.

    Ma con questo titolo mi hanno proprio sputato in un occhio.
    Storia che mi ha tenuto incollato tutto il tempo (anche se non sono riuscito a concludere una delle missioni secondarie).
    Grafica e musiche eccellenti, doppiaggio (italiano) molto buono (mi ha quasi sempre soddisfatto), animazioni forse qualcosa in più si poteva fare, ma comunque ottimo, voglio lamentare solo qualche effetto popup di troppo.
    Sapevo già della meccanica delle foto, fedelissima e molto bella, con possibilità di personalizzazione. Poi mi avete fatto innamorare del codice morse con il telegrafo.
    Concludo con i miei più sentiti complimenti (anche se da parte mia non so quanto possano valere), gioco meraviglioso e continuate su questa strada.
    Chiunque abbia la possibilità di provare questo titolo, lo faccia, è una vera e propria esperienza.
    Grazie

    Martha is dead è appunto un gioco soft-horror ma non HORROR, quindi non si deve pensare a scene che ti fanno saltare dalla sedia o dal letto dalla paura.
    È un gioco dalla grafica CURATISSIMA e DETTAGGLIATISSIMA, tutto curato nei minimi dettagli e particolari.

    Brilliant game with immersive experience. I recommend this game to people who likes graphic rather than the gameplay.

    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.

    Martha is Dead, despite struggling to hold my attention at times, is a well crafted game, with incredibly detailed visuals and models, an interesting cast of characters, and an unsettling but highly intriguing story to tell. If you're a fan of psychological thrillers and horrors, then Martha is Dead will undoubtedly be your cup of tea.

    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.
