Martha Is Dead is a singleplayer first-person horror adventure game with some minor puzzle elements, set in Italy during World War II.
The game was released on Windows on February 24, 2022 and distributed through Epic Games Store, GOG, and Steam. As a result of the game being censored on Sony's console platforms, concerns were raised about whether the PC version would also be affected though this was confirmed not to be the case.[2]
Shortly after its release the developers noted many players had performance issues[3] and on top of general updates and fixes to the gameplay the first couple of patches included improvements and fixes to textures, LODs, and grass to improve performance.[4][5] Players also raised the inability to rebind controls, with the developers responding that this would be investigated after the early release period has passed.[6]
