The game starts in the Italian countryside as Allied and Axis forces turn the nation into a pincered playground. It blurs the lines between reality, superstition and the tragedy of war. This new game is a dark first-person psychological thriller that is set in 1944 Italy. The game has been developed in Unreal Engine 4 by LKA, the guys behind the psychological adventure The Town of Light. Get it now to experience a gory and yet compelling psychological thriller story. Pick up my sci-fi novels the Herokiller series and The Earthborn Trilogy.Martha is Dead is now available today and will be available digitally across PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.

Again, I have no idea if this game on the whole is actually good or not, and had heard nothing about it until this moment, but it certainly grabbed it some attention. The end result of this is that Wired Productions is making the changes to meet the demands of Sony, but they’re not happy about it. But from the sound of Wired Productions statement, they’re not too keen on compromising their horror “vision” here.Īnother suggestion is to rate the game Adults Only (AO) instead of Mature (M) is somewhat untenable, given that AO games are effectively banned from all storefronts by default, meaning you might as well just not release the game at all. One middleground solution that does not appear to be offered is that some games have an option to disable especially graphic scenes that is offered at the beginning of a game or before a sequence. Others say that the censorship is unnecessary, pointing to ultra-violent scenes in games like The Last of Us Part II, and saying that clearly Xbox didn’t have a problem with the Martha sequence.

There are camps that say knowing the context here of how brutal this scene is, they understand PlayStation’s actions.


This has set off a good old fashioned debate about video game violence, the likes of which we haven’t seen for a while now (getting “Manhunt” vibes with all this).
