    I love this game. The mistery, the movies, the characters, everything absorbed me and obsessed me. Recording 3 full movies, extremely well-acted and with a great plot, just as the backdrop of a bigger mistery is mindblowing.

    Really good story and gets really creepy around halfway into the game, not a lot of gameplay so if u come in looking for a lot of gameplay then it's not for you

    I’m so shocked by This game, and I think I can’t find any astonishing experience like this from any other game. I will give it 10/10, a deserved masterpiece which recommended to art and movie lovers.

    FMV games are a controversial lot due to their nature - is it a movie or a game?
    Immortality presents an interesting project with quite a large scope: you will experience, through rehearsals, behind the scenes snippets and actual recordings, three movies starring Marissa Marcel, an actress whose films never released.

    Immortality is a love letter to film and art nerds, with more than enough quality acting and story content to engage just about anyone. If you love a good mystery, have an interest in film or art, or are simply looking for a good way to waste a few days, this is the game for you.

If you love a good mystery, have an interest in film or art, or are simply looking for a good way to waste a few days, this is the game for you.

    This is really one of the most unique and ambitious games I've ever played. The acting is top notch, the story is engrossing, and the gameplay is unique. There's a truly impressive amount of content to be discovered. It's a riveting experience unlike almost any other game. Finding a new clip is extremely satisfying and unraveling the mystery will throw you through so many different emotions. This game definitely isn't for the prude or faint of heart, but if you're willing, this is absolutely worth a playthrough. The non-linear storytelling works very well with the mystery format. It truly does feel like you're unwinding a lost piece of history.

    One of my favorite elements (although admittedly a minor thing and not something that everyone would appreciate) is the use of different cameras and editing techniques within each of the Marissa's films. It really gives each of the movies a unique feel and does a good job of grounding them in the time period in which they were supposedly produced.

    Overall, I can see why some people might not appreciate this game (specifically if you're prudish/uncomfortable with nudity --although this is DEFINITELY NOT pornography, like some other reviews have suggested). Whether or not you appreciate this game will probably come down to the individual, although I have a feeling that this will be a cult classic for many, many years.

    This is an incredible experience for film, art, and mystery enthusiasts.    … Expand

    A unique and well-crafted experience that will provide a memorable thrill. The theme is a gradual revelation of the inner life of the cutest girl you never knew. Manon Gage gives a riveting performance as the mysterious Marissa Marcel; her wonderfully expressive face drew me in and charmed me at first. I won't talk about the rest for fear of spoiling your fun.

Manon Gage gives a riveting performance as the mysterious Marissa Marcel; her wonderfully expressive face drew me in and charmed me at first. I won't talk about the rest for fear of spoiling your fun.

    Gameplay (best with X-Box controller) involves sorting through numerous film clips to develop Marissa's story and then a deeper dive into forces that drive her behavior in mysterious directions. It can be completed in ten hours or so if you know a few tricks: (1) read the intro and take notes; (2) rewind every clip before watching; (3) when the controller vibrates, be ready to fiddle with the left stick to access hidden content which is in every clip; (4) pay a lot of attention to hairstyles; (5) in each clip, select Marissa's face to open the next; (6) you know you're done when a certain somebody's face fills the whole screen.

    You can't sit back and enjoy the ride, but you won't soon forget this trip!    … Expand

    Unique experience and a very clever idea. The random number generator should have been tweaked though at the end of the game, as it gets tedious to try to unlock few last scenes. Almost GOTY 2022 if it weren't for Pentiment.

    One of the best games in storytelling. By using Layered narrative ، sam barlow created a masterpiece in fmv games

    Сэм Барлоу берёт новую высоту в плане своих амбиций и выдаёт на гора свой лучший проект в карьере и, по совместительству, лучший для меня в 2022-м году. Эстетически безупречный, крайне интригующий и довольно артистичный. Отдельным открытием и главной звездой здесь является дебютантка экранов Мэнон Гейдж. Во многом благодаря ей проект так сильно впечатляет.Сэм Барлоу берёт новую высоту в плане своих амбиций и выдаёт на гора свой лучший проект в карьере и, по совместительству, лучший для меня в 2022-м году.

    Very unusual FMV based game searching for clues in video clips to figure out what happened. I was a bit lost on exactly how to progress things until I figured something out, but ya it takes some creepy twists to the end. If you can be patient with it to figure it out I’d recommend. Only about 6 hrs to finish. Warning though lots of nudity, lol.

    Muy original y con mecánicas curiosas. No parece un videojuego. Se me hizo largo al final

    All I can promise you is that if you start looking for Marissa Marcel, you won't be able to get her out of your head, which is actually a pretty big compliment in today's blizzard indistinguishable games. [Issue#322]

    An artistic game that elegantly plays with the possibilities of the narrative genre and captivates with its storytelling.

    How do you even critique this? The actors are brilliant, the production quality as well, but the game feels random at times and offers very poor gameplay.
