Martha is Dead is a first-person thriller heading to Xbox, PC in 2021

Martha is Dead was recently announced by LKA and Wired Productions and will head to Xbox Series X and Windows PC in 2021.

“It’s 1944, and the body of a woman has been found, drowned and desecrated, by the side of a lake in the depths of an Italian countryside,” publisher Wired Productions said of the upcoming first-person psychological thriller. “Martha is dead, and now her twin sister must deal with the fallout from her murder, all whilst the horror of war draws ever closer…”

“We start with a story. Often it’s uncomfortable, not painless and based in truth. We learned a lot with The Town of Light, and Martha is Dead is taking everything we know, and turning it up to 10,” said Luca Dalco of developer LKA.

Martha is Dead is set in a really interesting and distressing period of history, with Italy at this time torn between two major powers fighting for the future. Martha’s brutal murder brings with it a mirrored sense of misery. This game will shock, make players question the truth and like The Town of Light, help continue a conversation around subject matters that still carry much stigma.”

Martha is Dead is planned for a 2021 release across Windows PC and Xbox Series X.
