Set in the picturesque yet war-ravaged landscape of Tuscany in 1944, “Martha Is Dead” weaves a haunting narrative against the backdrop of World War II. Player’s step into the shoes of Giulia, a young woman ensnared in a chilling mystery following the death of her twin sister, Martha.

“Every element of ‘Martha Is Dead’ was created with extraordinary precision and care. The narrative’s complexity was meticulously planned, visualized, and even shaped with a cinematic quality in mind,” says Luca Dalcò, Founder and Director of LKA, writer and designer of “Martha Is Dead”. “Bringing this to life as a film is a dream come true.”

Celebrated for its breath-taking detail and realism, “Martha Is Dead”, has garnered worldwide critical acclaim for its ability to blend the lines between reality, superstition, and the tragedy of war, into a captivating mystery that keeps players on edge until the very end of the game.

“The game’s gripping narrative and unique setting make it a perfect candidate for a film adaptation,” says Leo Zullo, Managing Director, Wired Productions. “We’re thrilled to join forces with Studios Extraordinaires to create a landmark cinematic experience, merging the artistry of gaming and filmmaking in an unprecedented way.”

The adaptation will be spearheaded by Studios Extraordinaires, a creative powerhouse by André Hedetoft and Andreas Troedsson that specializes in crafting high-end action, horror, and science-fiction films from original stories and extraordinary games.

“’Martha Is Dead’ is a narrative masterpiece, expertly weaving a spellbinding murder mystery from a young woman’s perspective in a way that’s never been done before,” says André and Andreas at Studios Extraordinaires. “We’re eager to bring this haunting tale to life, offering both fans and newcomers a cinematic tour-de-force, while staying true to the game’s soul-stirring essence.”

Currently in active development, the film adaptation of “Martha Is Dead” is being shaped in close collaboration with Luca Dalcò, Founder and Director of LKA, and the Creator of Martha Is Dead. André Hedetoft and Andreas Troedsson are attached to the feature film as co-directors. Alongside directing, André brings additional expertise as the screenwriter penning the script, while Andreas Troedsson is also taking on the role of cinematographer, ensuring both a visually stunning and meticulously crafted adaptation.

Brexit sucked. Still sucks. Overnight we lost the ability to offer sensible shipping and in truth, we’ve been trying to sort a solution ever since. So what have we been doing? Well, we moved our main warehouse from the UK to the EU. We then created a new micro-UK solution for shipping at home, plus we launched new Amazon stores in the UK and EU – all designed in the hope that our players can find a better way to purchase and ship games they want! It’s been a long process, too long (thanks Covid). Not only that, we also launched new products – from our critically acclaimed Vinyl range to the award-winning Black Label series and all new merch ranges – all designed to help you celebrate the great indie games you love. Thank you to every Wired community member for your support so far – we hope you enjoy our new store.

To celebrate the return of our store, you can grab 10% off when spending over £50 by using promo code ’10OFFWIRED’!

They decided they had missed many titles in their earlier list of ‘10 Underrated Horror Games Released In the Last Decade.‘ We were delighted to see a couple of Wired classics make this new list of FandomWire’s list of underrated horror games.

The Town of Light.

“Town of Light is an interesting first-person psychological horror game that deals with themes surrounding mental illness and sexual abuse across mental health institutions in the early 20^th century. The game carries a genuinely unnerving atmosphere with the setting of a derelict mental hospital in Tuscany, Italy maxing the creepiness out to 11 with each creaking door and flickering light.”

Close To the Sun

“Looking for a taste of that haunting retrofuturism without having to play Bioshock for the tenth time? Well, Close to the Sun will give you that fix. Taking place aboard the city-sized ship known as Helios, you play as a journalist called Rose who has been invited aboard by her sister Ada via a cryptic letter.”

Both of the games join Martha is Dead which made the original list.

Martha is Dead.

“There is a lot about Martha Is Dead that makes it one of the most underrated horror games released in the last decade. From the engaging plotline, to the brilliant voice acting, to the brilliant graphics, Martha Is Dead presents itself as a rival to heavy hitters like Resident Evil Village, rather than just being yet another throwaway first-person horror title. It also contains an interesting camera mechanic and a number of cutscenes that use a creepy puppet show to provide a great deal of additional character depth.”

Check out the full rundown of FandomWire’s list of underrated horror games and check out our games page to play them on your PC or console.

However, Martha is Dead has gone even better and won the Grand Prix award at the Indie Game Award 2023 at the Taipei Game Show.

“Winning such an award can change something inside a person. When my ideas and the team receive such an important award, especially from a distant place with a culture so different from Italy, it becomes even more special. It serves as a powerful motivation for the team to strive to do better.”
