Like something out of a The Silence of the Lambs video game, players make inputs to drag a razor around the edges of a body's face before pulling the decaying skin free.

Some have pointed to a scene from early looks at the game in which the player performs quick time events (QTEs) to cut the face off of a corpse. The Martha Is Dead Twitter account revealed that there would be changes to the PS4 and PS5 versions earlier this month, saying these unexpected requirements have now delayed the release of the game's physical editions.Īlthough the press release from the game's Twitter account doesn't go into specifics, many have already speculated on why Martha Is Dead is getting altered for Sony's consoles. Martha Is Dead won't be censored on Xbox, though, and a change to the game's content seems to be a mandate by Sony as a prerequisite for it being available on PlayStation platforms. The project developed by LKA and published by Wired Productions will be exceptionally graphic, and has received an M rating from the ESRB for blood and gore, intense violence, partial nudity, sexual themes, and strong language.

The game promises to give players a first-person view of the war's atrocities through the eyes of Martha's twin sister. During the timeframe of Martha Is Dead, even loyalist Italian forces have turned on the occupying German forces, declaring war on the Axis. By this time, fascist dictator Benito Mussolini had been ousted from power and the new government had signed an armistice with the Allied forces invading the Italian mainland. Martha Is Dead, a visceral and engrossing thriller, takes place during the final months of World War II, set in the Tuscany region of Italy in 1944.
