Yeah, I pre-ordered here also and would have liked to get the deluxe edition, but it wasn't available. The discount isn't really a big deal to me, since the pre-order bonus was a game, but I guess if you already had the game then you'd rather have that discount!

Thanks for preceding me, I don't have to face the ire of gamers who can't stand people asking for playable games.

I can forget this one right away.

Well, it's a good thing that we have auto hotkey as a weapon against anti-rebind devs!
This has got to be an oversight on their part, as that price is pure lunacy!

EDIT: I was wrong, the devs actually used the URE, thanks guys for not flaming me for my fuck-up!
-----------------------------Ignore the incorrect post below, I was wrong!---------------------------

EDIT: Shitty Unity performance strikes again, so it looks like it's gonna get a pass from me! I'm sick and tired of devs that refuse to learn how to develop a game with that fragile engine, while they try and pass that engine ignorance on users systems/rigs!

When you have people with top-of-the-line systems struggling with your game, it means you're gonna have to hold the reins on your ambition and make sure your game can actually run smoothly instead of trying to cram it into a fragile engine like Unity!

Would be much better if they used URE4/5 but indie devs have such a fetish for unity that we'll continue to get great games with horrid performance made on a sub-par engine for large 3D worlds!

NOTE: To the unity fanbois I do not mean 2D/Small 3D game worlds, Unity is great for those, It's that it is not made for large 3D worlds, period, and experienced devs need to constantly fight with removing assets and aggressive culling techniques in order for the game to run smooth on that engine!

So it CAN be done, it's just that you have to make serious sacrifices to your game to do so, that means unsightly pop-in and buying serious asset culling scripts as Unity does not have any good ones built into their engine!

Oooooo I've seen clips from this game. It's...interesting...

We can proudly announce that with collaboration from Italian game studio LKA and Swedish film-production company Studios Extraordinaires, we have started an exclusive partnership for a feature film adaptation of the video game “Martha Is Dead”.

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. Player’s 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.”

The adaptation will be spearheaded by Studios Extraordinaires, a creative powerhouse by André Hedetoft and Andreas Troedsson that specializes in crafting high-end action, horror, and science-fiction films from original stories and extraordinary games.

Currently in active development, the film adaptation of “Martha Is Dead” is being shaped in close collaboration with Luca Dalcò, Founder and Director of LKA, and the Creator of Martha Is Dead. André Hedetoft and Andreas Troedsson are attached to the feature film as co-directors. Alongside directing, André brings additional expertise as the screenwriter penning the script, while Andreas Troedsson is also taking on the role of cinematographer, ensuring both a visually stunning and meticulously crafted adaptation.

There are several games where the cut scenes could be made into a movie. Lego Batman 2 was sold on Blu-Ray :)
