Would you like to work with analogue photography in a digital way? The new game 'Martha is Dead' is set in 1940, and the main character uses a camera that you control.
After shooting a roll of film, you have to develop the film and print the photos in a darkroom in the game.
The video below shows part of the dark game, which also involves taking photos.
In the game, you work with shutter speed, aperture, focusing and different types of film. You can even use accessories such as extra lenses and flashes.
In the darkroom, you learn how to expose photographic paper with an enlarger and develop the print in developer.
The camera is needed for the game, but you can also simply take photos of the beautiful Italian landscape in which the game is set. An unusual way to discover how photography worked before digital cameras.
Martha is Dead is released at the end of October.
