So what is this like? I've known about this forever but have NO IDEA what it is other than perhaps an interactive film. Is that really it? Or?

  • This game is about to leave game pass
  • Heard good thing about it and I enjoyed Her Story, from the same developer
  • It also seems somewhat short, so maybe I can speed through it? Let’s give a shot.

I don't remember the last time a game scared me this much. It attacks a very specific fear of mine, the fear of subliminal messages, given to me by countless hours of spooky YouTube videos in my teenage years.

The game wins. I'm leaving this on the side, until I'm in a braver mood for it.

Immortality is going on the Men In Black list. Man I wish I could play this for the first time again.

I can't really rate this game, but I can say that it's really as fascinating as I expected, but way spookier.

Leaving this here for future me to find again, because great videos about great games deserve appreciation. Also can't believe this is how I found out Sam Barlow had released a third game already - I HAD NO IDEA THIS WAS COMING OUT

Free with Netflix as of today! I am downloading now to play using the account of a guy who no longer talks to me because I am pro choice!

Like playing a beautiful, culturally important HBO show.

My partner and I went through Immortality last weekend, and we haven't stopped talking about it since. The less said about it the better, but it has such a sense of discovery, such a sense of dread, such a sense of philosophy.

My partner and I went through Immortality last weekend, and we haven't stopped talking about it since. The less said about it the better, but it has such a sense of discovery, such a sense of dread, such a sense of philosophy. The production values are top notch, worthy of being on any streaming service available today, maybe even better, because they don't have coffee cups left in the fantasy scene or bad CGI like a superhero show. The acting is tremendous, and it's a shame that they won't be eligible for anything like an Emmy, because they should get something. Immortality is quite simply one of the best game experiences ever, art of the highest caliber, something that will be remembered forever as an example of how we have only scratched the surface of the gravitas that can be conveyed through interactive, non-linear experiences.

HUGE TIP!

When it IMAGE MODE (selecting the EYE ICON) you can scroll through everything on screen you can "match cut" with by using Left or Right on the D-pad on controller or ◄ or ► on a keyboard!

I wish I had known this from the start!

I think I got to the credits but my visuals froze....

The audio kept going though and what sounded like ending credits music was playing!

I waited but when I could not do anything else I forced quit and restarted and found a BUNCH of my progress was gone!

Anyway, USER BEWARE! I was playing the PC GamePass version.

Okay, I just realised (a few hours in) that this is doing something that can only be done as interactive fiction and not like a movie or video or something and HOLY SHIT!

Pretty fascinating game, just a massive-feeling nonlinear rabbit hole of mystery and entertainment. Loving it.

The first review is in for this latest game from director Sam Barlow (Her Story), and it’s a rare perfect score from Edge calling it “a new high bar for creator and genre”. Pretty exciting, I do hope it’s really that good. Day one Game Pass for this one too late this month, definitely one to keep on the radar.
