Giulia and Martha (identical twins) live in the area of Tuscany in 1944 during WWII. Martha is Dead follows the character Giulia. One must be able to decide for themselves what constitutes disturbing. While I appreciate the option to cut those moments, I don’t appreciate Sony censoring a game that was released in full by PC and Xbox. Two weeks before its release, Sony deemed some of the content way too disturbing for players and cut the interactive aspect of those scenes, effectively making them cutscenes, which can be skipped altogether for the especially sensitive. Martha is Dead has been released for consoles and PC.

Right off the bat, I found out that I was playing a different version than those videos portrayed. I went in completely blind, watching zero gameplay and reading no reviews except for seeing the “OMG IT’S SO DISTURBING” title cards that flooded my Youtube feed. Given that the state of the world right now is at level “burning garbage fire” I figured nothing could shock me and I wanted to get my hands on it. In all seriousness, I kept seeing content creators say that the new indie release, Martha is Dead, is the most disturbing game they’ve ever played. Platforms: PS5 (reviewed on), PS4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X(S)įor the past couple of weeks, I have been hearing a name on repeat: Martha, Martha, Martha! Apparently, she’s dead and they made a game about it.
