Sadly, the differences don’t stop there as Martha was her mother’s favourite child, always getting what she wanted and treated like an angel, with Giulia often receiving abuse and blame that severely affected her mental health and wellbeing.

The sisters were identical in looks but not in personality or ability, Giulia was a talkative girl with a passion for song, music, and photography, whereas Martha was traumatised as a child and hadn’t spoken in over fifteen years, nor could she hear due to her deafness. Martha Is Dead is aptly titled as the story is about a young girl named Martha who has been tragically murdered, leaving behind her mother, father, and twin sister, Giulia. Simply open the PS5 version and if it detects PS4 saves on your console, it’ll ask if you wish to import them.* *update – the day one patch allows you to import your PS4 saves. So, after completing the game four times and subjecting myself to certain horrific scenes, what did I think of it? Let’s find out… Also, the PS5 version hasn’t yet received its day one patch, unlike the PS4, so I’ve played through both to see what issues have been fixed and which remain – which I’ll also get to later on. My review will be based upon the PS5 version of the game running in 4K/30fps mode (including the images) until I talk about the 60fps and PS4 versions towards the end. Personally, I’m fine with that as you still get to see everything, so it’s technically not ‘censored’, just had a minor adjustment. I’ll talk about this later, but the TL DR is that the PlayStation version contains all of the same gruesome and disturbing scenes as the other platforms, you just don’t ‘play’ these scenes via a QTE – they play as a video instead. They say that no press is bad press, but in the case of Martha Is Dead, there have been a number of YouTubers and websites speculating on the content within this game based on a tweet sent out by the publisher. So, over the last week I’ve played through Martha Is Dead multiple times on multiple systems and via multiple visual modes – and no, the PlayStation version hasn’t been ‘censored’…

So, when I heard that the developers, LKA, were creating another game with a similar dark and disturbing narrative, I knew I had to check it out. It was a thriller that relied on its brilliant writing and atmospheric environments in order to pull you into the dark and depressing story it was trying to tell.

I loved The Town of Light, a psychological narrative adventure game based on real events and situations which took place within the horrific mental health institutes back in the 1930s.
