Immortality (PC and XBOX)

Immortality was released yesterday.



It's by Sam Barlow, whose past games include Silent Hill: Shattered Memories, Her Story, and Telling Lies.

This game deals with three fictional unreleased movies. It's closer to an interactive movie than a traditional video game, but there's more to it than this implies.

You're presented with a collection of video clips, which are scenes from the three movies, rehearsals, television appearances with the actors, etc. You can run them at different speeds, forwards and backwards, and at any time you can pause and select a person or object within a scene to jump to something related in a different scene.

It's very innovative and the story gets weird. You might even call it a horror game. I recommend it if you want a unique experience.

If you have XBOX Game Pass, you can try this game for free. (You can use the cloud function on an XBOX One if you don't have the latest model.) It's also on Steam.
