I felt at odds with the gameplay the moment I began exploring Giulia’s family villa. Unfortunately, Martha Is Dead quickly becomes a chore to play. What happens next is unexpected, jaw-dropping even, and I was immediately captivated by the premise.

Finally, she gets the love and affection she’s always wanted. After Giulia finds Martha, drowned in a lake, her mother runs to embrace Giulia, mistakenly believing her least-favorite child perished. Giulia’s mother never loved her the way she loved Martha, and this relationship, or lack thereof, has eaten away at Giulia’s spirits for years.

Martha Is Dead starts extremely strong, introducing immediately a dynamic between twin sisters Martha and Giulia that sets the stage for the entire game.
