Horror Game Martha Is Dead Live-Action Movie Adaptation Is In The Works

LKA and Wired Productions’ 2022 psychological horror game Martha Is Dead will be getting a live-action movie adaptation from Swedish film-production company Studios Extraordinaires (via Steam).

The adaptation is being developed in close collaboration with Luca Dalcò, founder and director of LKA, and the creator of Martha Is Dead, with André Hedetoft and Andreas Troedsson attached as co-directors. Alongside directing, Hedetoft will also be writing the script, with Troedsson as cinematographer.

Studios Extraordinaires is also currently working on live-action movie adaptations of other games, including Fallen Leaf’s Fort Solis and Graewolv’s upcoming horror shooter VEIL.

Martha Is Dead is a dark first-person psychological thriller, set in 1944 Italy, that blurs the lines between reality, superstition and the tragedy of war.

As conflict intensifies between German and Allied forces, the desecrated body of a woman is found drowned… Martha! Martha is dead, and her twin sister Giulia, the young daughter of a German soldier, must alone deal with the acute trauma of loss and the fallout from her murder. The hunt for the truth is shrouded by mysterious folklore and the extreme horror of war that draws ever closer.

The game is an exploration of loss, relationships, and the psychological undertones of a dark period of history through the eyes of a young woman who seeks the truth, but who also has secrets of her own to hide.

Martha Is Dead is available now on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S and PC.
