Hi! I am Lorenzo Conticelli, Lead Environment Artist and Lead Animator at LKA, working on Martha Is Dead. The journey to release has been a long one, we’ve been working on the game for the past four years and it is finally available on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S! For anyone who is new […]
Martha Is Dead, an upcoming first-person thriller by developer LKA and Wired Productions, won’t have parity across its versions. While the Windows PC...
The PlayStation versions of upcoming horror game Martha is Dead have been "modified" to remove certain elements, despite the original version launching as normal on Xbox and PC.
Martha Is Dead will be censored on the PlayStation 5 and PS4, publisher Wired Productions has announced. The potentially “distressing” horror game will release unedited on other platforms, like Xbox and PC, but the company states that “it is with regret we have had to modify the experience with some elements no longer playable”.
We’ve reached out to the organisation to try and get clarification of what has actually been changed and why, and will update if and when we receive a response. Some fans hypothesise that the modifications may relate to a scene in which you’re required to surgically remove a corpse’s face, which you then proceed to wear as a mask. Grim stuff!
Martha is Dead, the upcoming first-person psychological WW2 thriller from The Town of Light developer LKA, will require certain elements to be altered ahead of its release on PlayStation 4 and PS5, publisher Wired Productions has revealed. The PC and Xbox versions remain unaffected, however, and will release unedited at launch on 24th February.
Martha is Dead unfolds in Tuscany, 1944, against the backdrop of the ongoing conflict between German and Allied forces; as its story begins, the body of a woman, Martha, is discovered by the side of a lake deep in the Italian countryside, and players - in the role of her twin sister - must deal with the repercussions of the murder, "all whilst the horror of war draws ever closer".
