Dear Players,​

Those who experienced Martha Is Dead will know that LKA’s stories often sit at the intersection of trauma, history, and the fragile boundaries of perception. Giulia’s journey was deeply personal - an intimate descent into grief and memory, framed by a world in turmoil.​

Today, we’re excited to share the next evolution of LKA’s narrative vision:​ When Sirens Fall Silent, 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.​

When Sirens Fall Silent is a dark, investigative, psychological thriller where you play as Mila, a determined policewoman in early 1990s Italy. Haunted by a past she's desperate to escape, Mila is thrust into a high-profile case of kidnappings and murders. As the investigation unravels, you must not only save her from herself, but also being swallowed up by a vortex of violence, mystery and confusion.  ​

The story takes the player on a journey, that explores themes of misogyny, trafficking, trauma, redemption and morality, blurring the lines between reality and perception.  ​

Where Stories Intersect​

Martha Is Dead explored the devastating impact of personal tragedy during a time of war, blending inner turmoil with historical truth.​

When Sirens Fall Silent carries that legacy forward, examining trauma through a different lens - this time not within a family home, but through the eyes of a troubled woman weighed down by the expectations, dangers, and injustices of her time.​

While the setting is new, the themes will feel familiar to LKA fans:​

• Dark psychological storytelling​

• Characters shaped by the past​

• Real-world historical context woven into every scene​

• A blurred frontier between what is real and what is remembered​

• An unflinching look at trauma, redemption, and morality​

Everyone at Wired Productions and LKA are heartbroken to hear the tragic news that Udo Kier has passed away.

He was an icon in every sense, but what stays with us most is how generous he was with his time, his craft and his presence. Watching him bring Erich to life in Martha Is Dead is something we will never forget. We’re grateful to have shared even a small part of his journey.

Our thoughts are with his family during this time.

Rest in peace, Udo.
