Dear players,
For fans of The Town of Light and the wider immersive and concept-driven universe that LKA have created, we have some exciting news to share.
Following two creative story-based cinematic reveals that introduced the game's atmosphere, themes, and central mystery, LKA Founder and Director Luca Dalcò, guided viewers further into the world of the forgotten people during the Day of the Devs: Summer Game Fest Edition. Here, he revealed more of what awaits players as they uncover the truth behind a series of kidnappings and murders.
In When Sirens Fall Silent you will play as Mila, a determined policewoman thrust into a high-profile case of kidnappings and murders. As the case unravels, you must engage in key character interviews and interactions, branching dialogues, investigation mechanics and environmental puzzles, to uncover the truth.
When Sirens Fall Silent marks an evolution in the immersive and concept-driven exploration of the universe that LKA have created. Continuing LKA’s vision to shine a light on the forgotten people through the ‘Storie Senza Voce’ franchise, When Sirens Fall Silent explores difficult and deeply human themes of trauma, addiction, misogyny, and human trafficking

Dear players,
Today we're excited to share that on April 16th, live during the Galaxies Showcase, the premiere of When Sirens Fall Silent's story, Act II: The Station, debuts.
When Sirens Fall Silent is a dark psychological thriller set in early 1990s Italy. This is LKA’s third game, following Martha Is Dead and The Town of Light, and once again the studio turns its lens toward the human mind - its distortions, its scars, and its resilience.
Now, as more details emerge about the reported kidnappings across the Lazio region, the mystery is deepening... with each new development leaving us with more questions than answers.

Dear Players,
For many of you, The Town of Light was not simply a game. It was a confrontation with memory, a descent into the fragile space where trauma reshapes truth, and an invitation to walk alongside Renee as she tried to understand a world that abandoned her. Her story opened conversations that reached far beyond the walls of Volterra. It brought forgotten histories back into the light and gave voice to the pain carried by those who were never heard.
Today, we want to share the next step in that creative journey.
When Sirens Fall Silent
This is LKA’s third title, and it continues our shared commitment to telling human stories set in real places, shaped by real histories, and grounded in emotional authenticity. While each experience stands apart, When Sirens Fall Silent carries forward the thematic legacy that began with The Town of Light and evolved through Martha Is Dead: an unflinching examination of the mind, its wounds, and the echoes of the past that linger long after the moment has passed.
Just as The Town of Light guided players through the ruins of Volterra, uncovering the emotional scars held within its walls, When Sirens Fall Silent places you in another moment where personal trauma collides with the darker truths of society. It asks different questions, but they arise from the same core: how do our pasts shape us, and how far must we go to confront them?
A New Story with a Familiar Spirit
While not a sequel, players who connected with The Town of Light will recognise the creative DNA:
characters shaped by history, memory, and emotional truth
meticulous research into real Italian environments and cultural context
an atmosphere designed to immerse, unsettle, and provoke reflection
Your support for The Town of Light allowed its message to resonate in ways we could never have predicted. It helped bring attention to overlooked stories and encouraged difficult but essential conversations around mental health. For that, we are deeply grateful.

Hello everyone - taking a brief moment from all of the launch day chaos and excitement to pop in and say 'Thanks' - seriously, it's been one hell of a ride up til this point and it's nice to take a step back and just take it all in you know?
Right at the finish line as LKA wrapped up development on Martha Is Dead, we asked the dev team to record their thoughts on the journey as a whole for a special episode of Martha Uncovered, you can catch the episode below, as well as some personal words from Luca to you, the fans :
I am Luca Dalcò, LKA's art director and writer. I'm here to talk about Martha is Dead, our new game that will be released today! Today…needless to say, I, and the whole team, are very excited and nervous! The moment of release is a special one. Years of work and passion become something real. All the passion, all the emotions, all the love we put into the game becomes a public thing and we feel naked, it's inevitable!
It is very difficult for me to describe Martha is Dead in a few words: It is a psychological horror/thriller that follows the dramatic story of a girl who suffers a great trauma in the context of a world where war is unleashed with all its insane violence. It is set in real places, in Chiantishire, Tuscany in a historical context that is also real, that of July 1944. But it is much more than that, and it is above all an intimate relationship between the player and Giulia and her way of seeing the world.
With Martha is Dead our main aim is to convey feelings, emotions, so my advice is to try to live the game by favouring emotionality over rationality. Not that you don't need to reason in order to understand all the details of the story, far from it! But I think that at least the first time you play it you should let yourself be captured by the atmosphere, let yourself be dragged into Giulia's mind, more and more deeply.
Martha is Dead required more than 5 years of development, constantly driven by passion. Additions, improvements, changes have made the game much richer than what was originally thought... we never wanted to stop developing and telling Martha's world: the protagonist with her dystopian family, the raging war, the lies, betrayals, the presence of a past still present, religion, superstition.
But here we are, the game is going to be released!
We wanted to create something special to launch Martha is Dead. The thing I cared about most was communicating the atmosphere you will breathe in Martha's universe. On this idea the launch trailer was born. Julia tells about a nightmare that blurs into reality. A nightmare that is not present in the game, but that, like all the contents outside the game, serves to deepen Martha’s universe. The whole thing has been realised with Unreal Engine, in real time, as if it were a scene from the game. A brief meeting with Giulia before entering her mind!
I will never thank enough all those who have been following us since The Town of Light, but also all those who will trust us and immerse themselves in the experience offered by Martha is Dead. A special thanks to the players who are looking for the connections between Martha is Dead and The Town of Light. It's amazing and rewarding to see how you can uncover even the most hidden details, the ones we thought no one would ever notice!"
Couldn't have put it better ourselves to be honest! so we'll keep it short and sweet, we hope you enjoy your time in Tuscany, there is a LOT of extra things to be excited about today - some of which you might have missed - so for patch notes, schedules and competitions, make sure you visit out launch blog : Martha Launch Blog

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 - which you can visit on Steam here to learn more about
