Features

• Unashamedly authentic voice acting in Italian
  The first Indie game to launch using the native Italian language as the default setting – for full immersion into the story and the characters.
  
• From the creator of The Town of Light
  The second game from LKA, the award-winning developer of “The Town of Light” and specialists in reality-based narrative games focused on tough subjects.
  
• Deep and dark multi-layered narrative
  Martha Is Dead is an exploration of loss, relationships and the psychological undertones of a dark period of history through the eyes of a young woman who seeks the truth, but who also has secrets of her own to hide.
  
• Explore a detailed recreation of the Italian countryside
  Freely explore the breathtakingly realised Tuscany countryside on foot, by boat, or bike. Grounded in reality, Martha Is Dead’s setting and historical context are inspired by real facts and places that have been faithfully reconstructed in true LKA fashion.
  
• Play with dolls
  Play with numerous marionette sequences in the puppet theatre to remember repressed memories.
  
• Mixing folklore with superstition
  Unlock symbols and use tarot cards to unveil new aspects of the game and to summon the spirit of The Lady.
  
• A backdrop of War
  Collect newspapers, telegrams and listen to the radio to keep updated on what is occurring in the world during the war.
  
• Virtual photographic greatness
  Take pictures for the sheer pleasure of doing so, and also to progress through the story and discover more about the game world. A simulator will guide you through 1940s photography, where you’ll be able to develop your actual photos through a fully working in-game darkroom!
  
• Authentic Italian music of the era
  Immerse yourself in a deeply evocative and atmospheric soundtrack containing underwater music specialists Between Music and their Aquasonic project; The Town of Light composer Aseptic Void and his moody yet spinetingling tones; and held together in true vintage style featuring reimagined versions of classic tracks including Schubert's Ave Maria, O Bella Ciao, with original tracks written and sung by Francesca Messina, AKA 90s disco star, Femina Ridens.
