Also, we are honoured to announce that Martha’s father, Erich, will be voiced by celebrated German actor Udo Kier, who has been a leading figure in both German and International films for over 50 years. He has appeared in legendary films such as the 1977 Italian supernatural horror classic Suspiria.
Right through to appearing in a couple of Madonna's videos. Most recently, Kier played the leading role in the critically acclaimed and award winning film Swan Song. His role in Martha Is Dead - which came about as a result of a shared vision and belief in the project - sees him voice Erich in three languages; Italian, English, and his native German.



The setting has always been an incredibly important part of Martha Is Dead. Italy in 1944 was a country paralysed by panic and paranoia. With the Germans occupying the north as the Allies liberated the south, loyalties were strained as the nation quite literally split in two. Udo Kier was a perfect fit for the role of German Officer and father of the twins. It is a real coup for the team to land him.

Built in Unreal® Engine 4, Martha Is Dead combines real-world locations, working in links to historical events, superstition, folklore, and deep psychological distress.

Wired and The Town Of Light :

For Wired Productions, there has been no game that has had a bigger impact to the business greater than The Town of Light. It changed not only the type of game Wired signs, but really kick started a movement within the company that led to some of the team co-founding the now global video games mental health charity Safe In Our World.

From the first time the publishing team played a demo of title, they were shocked, in awe and knew instantly that this was a game that needed to be played. This challenged the whole team to evaluate the Games Wired scouts, changing truly to finding indie games that deserved more players, who needed support to get their story told. Its deep routes in historic facts, its personal story and the way it truly made the player think, long after gameplay had finished, was like nothing the team had played. It’s journey to publishing saw the teams collaborate on video shoots, press tours of the very really building in Tuscany, Italy and a global campaign to raise player awareness around mental health.


Close to 5 years later, Wired and LKA collaborated again with the release of Martha Is Dead, a title than continues the almost cinematic story telling the studio has now become famous for


Pre-orders are now live for The Town Of Light Black Label - available from our friends at limited run games in the US - or direct from our store for the rest of the world
