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.

Simplesmente um jogo diferente de tudo que já joguei. Me senti um montador de cinema! Muito bom o roteiro também. Vale a pena muito!

Maybe I would have felt this was a better game than Telling Lies if I would have managed to stay with it more than a couple of hours, but the detective work wasn't very rewarding to me. It was much more fun to try to find the right key words in the previous game than to find correct detalis to click on here. In this game I got stuck in the same loops and I didn't get enough progress to be intrigued by any of it. I didn't feel like I was in control of anything, it was too random what I stumbled upon.

A wierd and great experience. The acting is spot on, the movie production insightful and the game itself is far better than Telling Lies. But the way of discovering new pieces is mostly random and doesn't make much sense at first. Unfortunately none of the 3 movies interested me.

I have never seen – or played – anything like it. It’s not a game that everyone will love, but I do think it’s one that everyone should play.

Even days after seeing the credits roll, I can’t quit IMMORTALITY. I want to understand more, dig deeper, and find more clips. There’s so much to see here and so many mysteries hidden inside this game, seemingly just one moment of intuition away. I enjoyed Sam Barlow’s past work, particularly Her Story, but I was unprepared for the depth of feeling I found within IMMORTALITY. What he and his team have created is nothing short of a masterpiece.

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

Immortality is extraordinary and insanely polished, but because of its unique nature and not very engaging gameplay not everyone will be taken with it. However, if you want to feel like a detective analyzing David Lynch’s lost movie, you’re in for a treat. I hope this one-of-a-kind experience gets the spotlight it deserves.

The most ambitious and intense Sam Barlow's game is a brilliant interactive mockumentary about movies and our relationship with the sense o narration. Thanks to a sleek and precise game mechanic and a clever management of a very thin fourth wall, Immortality plays with both cinema and video game languages, using them both to deliver a deep story with different layers. If you like FMV adventures and Sam Barlow's games, it's definitely a groundbreaking game.

Immortality is a love letter to a certain way of making and intending cinema, but it’s also an almost perfect experiment that aims to blend the languages of cinema and video game into a single one.

Immortality is an unusual adventure game with strong David Lynch vibes, and a non-linear narrative style that leaves you clueless in the face of deep and mysterious thriller drama.

Immortality is the antithesis of the belief that games are an art form, as its lofty attempts to establish prestige are built upon the language of another medium entirely (cinema). It relies on the spectacle of the project alone and not the substance, leaving an empty shell confident in but not convinced of its own self-importance.

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. 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.

WARNING: THIS IS NOT A VIDEOGAME NOR A INTERACTIVE COMMERCIAL MOVIE. Can't even say if this is a movie. Well maybe technically? I don't know. Once defined this , I could say if you expect something related to obamaflix blackhomo crap streaming something its not the case either. This is more a concept ,artcinema, performance, theater, related. Is like a bunch of very short films just related to the main actress somehow that varies from boring to odd to eerie ,with a lot of symbolism. The interaction with this short firms is quite odd too and lead to anothers and cannot be accessed in a main menu or something. But this is a part of the whole experience. This is not for everybody besides art lovers , actor and director students and related. I cannot rate this production as Im not an expert in the area so I just throw a 7 just giving the benefit of their work.
