Earlier this year, LKA, the team behind The Town of Light, announced their new project, Martha is Dead. On Thursday, the development team released a new, gruesome trailer and announced that the game will come to Xbox Series X and PC in 2021.
IGN debuted the new Martha is Dead trailer along with an exclusive look at gameplay. LKA has promised that this horrific murder mystery will “combine real-life locations, Italian folklore and psychological horror”. The trailer below showcases some of these aspects as it shows the body of a woman washing onto the shore of a lake, someone cutting off her face and wearing it as their own.
The murder mystery that is Martha is Dead tells a dark tale from World War II steeped in folklore and superstition:
When Martha is Dead was first announced, it was said to be releasing on PlayStation 5 and PC with “photo-realistic graphics”. However, today’s announcement failed to mention anything about a PlayStation 5 release or why it may not be releasing on the console.
