In fact, one of them is literally the most disturbing thing I’ve ever seen in a video game-and no, it’s not the one that you could experience in the demo. Having played my review copy of Martha is Dead on PC, I can only make an educated guess as to which scenes developer LKA changed, and there are many to choose from. The story about this censorship could easily be the first time that many people had even heard of Martha is Dead, and having a game in the psychological thriller genre with content that’s so disturbing that Sony deemed it inappropriate for players to engage with could be a selling point for a certain type of audience. 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.There’s the adage that any press is good press, and Martha is Dead publisher Wired Productions sure took this saying to heart when it announced that the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 versions of the game would be censored by having to remove the interactive aspects of certain disturbing scenes. 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.
