The dream sequences are the only time where you’ll have to put a few pieces of information together. Like finding a key to unlock a specific door or a lens for your camera. There are moments where you’ll have to find specific items to move onto the next objective in the storyline. I use the word puzzles lightly however because there aren’t many involved. This camera, and all the steps required to obtain a single photo, provides the biggest “puzzles” and interactions that you’ll encounter in Martha Is Dead. The more you do it, the more fun it becomes. And then you’ll have to go through a few steps to develop each one in Giulia’s dark room. You’ll need to focus the image and ensure the lighting is correct before snapping the shot. You’ll take photographs with an old school camera that uses rolls of film. 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.Since the camera is Giulia’s comfort in the days following Martha’s death, you’ll spend a lot of time with it. 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.
