Martha is not dead! She will live in our hearts forever. Dear LKA, if you're reading this, just know that I absolutely adore you guys. Thank you for making such deep awesome games!!! Story. Just like the first game, we follow a young girl's tragic and deeply moving journey. It all starts when we find Martha's body, and from there, the plot keeps throwing crazy twists at you all the way to the credits. Gameplay. Now…

Ever since The Town of Light, I fell in love with LKA and Martha is Dead was the cherry on the top. Great atmosphere, music and graphics. And Tarot cards as a game mechanic? Hell yeah. We need more horror games like that - even a person like me (Horror Fan Nr. 1) was shooked at some point. If you ever start selling these Tarot cards I would buy at least 2 decks.

The game started OK, with an interesting story and setting. However the second half of the game is a terrible slog with lenghty puppet sequences that killed any enjoyment I had left for the game. The performance is also terrible, with FPS being terribly inconsistent (100 to 40 and below 10 when getting on the bike).
