i thought this would be fun for a stream.. but literally nothing happens. it's frustrating to get like 10 minutes in without a jumpscare- or anything to happen, just for my dog to bark or i laugh & i have to start over completely. i know the point is that you're being punished but the beginning area is so boring & nothing happens for ~10 minutes no matter where you walk.

the timer is bugged in some spots- it's supposed to be that if you're moving the timer ticks, but in some spots it just completely stops so instead of looking around you're like uhh.. i guess i'll just skip this area..? (light spoiler: there's a building but if you walk around in it, your timer doesn't move.. maybe a bug?) there's no goal other than to walk around & reach 18 minutes. it's still early access so maybe wait for a nice update!

Martha Is Dead is a really powerful experience that left a lasting impression on me. The story is the game’s strongest aspect, touching on themes of loss, war and personal identity in meaningful ways. This game features female body horror delivered in a no-nonsense manner, creepy dolls, and truly spectacular set-pieces that is a delight to horror fans like myself.

While the gameplay could have been improved and the horror elements could have been further emphasized, the game is still meaningful and thought-provoking gaming experience.
