333: Immortality (Part 1, No Spoilers)

“Marissa Marcel was a film star. She made three movies. But none of the movies was ever released. And Marissa Marcel disappeared.” Short Game royalty Sam Barlow (Her Story, Telling Lies) is back with a third entry in his not-a-trilogy of FMV masterpieces. This game, Immortality, ups the ante from the previous two in every conceivable way.  Explore the unedited, unordered clips from this trio of ill-fated films using a new match-cut symbol mechanic, both more accessible and more mysterious than the previous games. Uncover the stories in front of and behind the camera of these three almost-fully-realized movies.  There is so much to talk about with Immortality that we’re dedicating two episodes to it. This first episode will be a spoiler free discussion of the game’s mechanics, production, and surface level story. In next week’s episode we will be diving deep into story and unraveling the mystery of Marissa Marcel.
