Martha Is Dead, a psychological thriller, will be released for PS5 and PS4 in February 2022.

As Resident Evil Village was named Game of the Year, a few select titles hinted at what’s to come. The Golden Joystick Awards has gotten in on the act of sharing game announcements while also rewarding developers for their efforts over the past year, so as Resident Evil Village was crowned Game of the Year, a few select titles hinted at what’s to come. One of them was the psychological thriller Martha Is Dead, a horror experience from company LKA that will be released on February 24, 2022 for PlayStation 5 and PS4. The new trailer, which you can see above, gives you a taste of what to expect.

In a press release, LKA founder and director Luca Dalco said: “This is an experience curated to be faithful and accurate to the era, from our authentic recreation of the Tuscan countryside through to the impact that WWII had on Italy. We can’t wait for people to experience the game for themselves.”

It’s a creepy one, featuring black and white footage of an empty coffin and two girls singing Eeny, meeny, miny, moe. A body then suddenly occupies the coffin shortly after. The trailer uses Unreal Engine’s metahuman technology “in an intimate and immersive showcase of the foreboding tension evident throughout the game”. The game itself is set in Italy, during the final years of World War II.

A physical version of Martha Is Dead will be made available, with pre-orders being taken through here. It will include a copy of the game with an exclusive reversible sleeve, a double-sided A3 poster, a sticker set, and a downloadable tarot card pack based on the ones in the game.

“Martha is dead, and her twin sister Giulia, the young daughter of a German soldier, must alone deal with the acute trauma of loss and the fallout from her murder. The hunt for the truth is shrouded by mysterious folklore and the extreme horror of war that draws ever closer.”
