Congrats to the developers, better than the most big developers we see. We should give an aplause for them! Congrats!Good- The narrative's premise and the story it sets up is one of the most inriguing I have played in years. The setting feels reallyGood- The narrative's premise and the story it sets up is one of the most inriguing I have played in years.

The setting feels really authentic and immerses me in it's world. The game looks really really good. One of the best looking indie horror games that I have seen in years.

Bad- The gameplay feels very clunky. There are weird moments in the game and sections that just are not fun or scary and feel pointless. It feels so slow-paced even for an atmospheric horror game.

I am waiting for the game to pick up the pace but it never seems too. Thoughts- Martha Is Dead has a lot going for it, but it often gets in its own way. 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.
