Italian game studio LKA.it, UK publisher Wired Productions (@WiredP), and Swedish film-production company Studios Extraordinaires have teamed up for an exclusive partnership to create a feature film adaptation of the video game Martha Is Dead (@MarthaisDead).
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. Players 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.”
