No one’s using algorithms to inject jumpscares. There’s just something about how no one’s trying to impress or scare you for the sake of scares alone. It’s not a game that fits the modern mold of streamer-friendly gargle - even though there’s no clear elevator pitch here that would convince you otherwise. In fact, one of the things that make Martha Is Dead stand out is how it’s a little bit less concerned with giving nods to the player. At times, it actually comes off more like something you’d experience in 70’s horror cinema: A slow-burn that starts out more akin to a social drama, but carefully turns into something more sinister and makabre during the latter part. One that feels like it’s using the medium to tell a story, not just to shoehorn in the usual suspects of video game tropes and slapdash mechanisms.
