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. Martha is Dead will leave you psychologically scarred. 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.
