It is obviously horrific but people have said "The game where you cut off a woman's face" and act like it's some interactive snuff film about torturing women which couldn't be farther from the truth. For example there's a nightmare sequence where you have to cut off your dead sister's face and wear it to symbolize how you're taking on her identity.

There are some good ideas here that deserved to be in a better game, but as it stands right now, Martha is Dead is a frustrating experience that fails to do justice to those ideas.This has been getting quite a lot of attention as it's a horror game that is apparently so horrific Sony censored it. The setting is beautiful and lovingly crafted, but actually playing the game often feels like a chore for one reason or the other.

The setting feels really Good- The narrative's premise and the story it sets up is one of the most inriguing I have played in years.
