This summer, the Immortality game launched as a new project that derived from Sam Barlow, the creator of 'Her Story.' It is now launching on both Android and iOS platforms, making it compatible with mobile devices. Notably, the game can also be downloaded if users have a Netflix account.
It is provided when users subscribe to the streaming service with no additional charge. The game is a nostalgic design that is reminiscent of the full-motion video games that took over the 90s. It takes players through the journey of learning about the fate of fictional actress Marissa Marcel. The players will have to figure out what happened to her through various clips that are seen in three unreleased films.
