The new year has already started off with a bang, as PlayStation players already have an incredible release coming to the console, and that is Immortality. Recently, it has been announced that the interactive movie video game Immortality will be coming to PlayStation 5 on January 23rd, after it has been available through Netflix games for the past year.
According to the developer, Half Mermaid Productions, Immortality will be released on the PlayStation 5 and will cost players $19.99. This will provide gamers with the opportunity to play one of the most interesting and exquisite interactive movie video games that we have had for a while.
What Is Immortality, and Why Was It Released to Netflix Before the PlayStation 5?
Understandably, there won’t be many gamers out there who will know about Immortality, as usually Netflix’s games department will only focus its attention on small mobile games. However, this project is a completely new and unique experience that has been developed and released to Netflix for phone users to play.
As stated above, Immortality is an interactive movie video game that tasks the player with solving the mystery of Marissa Marcel’s disappearance. This task will take the player through three different movies as they investigate each one and its individual scenes for any kind of clue to discover why Marissa Marcel is missing.
Along with clips from each movie, there is also lost footage that players can take a glimpse through, which will show behind-the-scenes footage and provide even more information for the players to collate into an answer that could solve the mystery.
For anyone who is looking for a mystery to solve while having chills down their backs the entire time, Immortality may be the perfect game for you. It may not be a horror game, but there are moments that are quite daunting for players to experience that will cause many gamers to wonder what is real and what isn’t.
Since there are three different movies that the player will be able to experience, there is plenty of content to search through, and with the different mechanics that the game uses to allow you to search through each clip, there will always be something you may miss, causing you to re-watch and search again.
What Is an Interactive Movie Video Game, and How Does That Work in Immortality?
Interactive Movie Video Games are a type of video game format that has sadly been dying out over the past few years; however, they are beginning to make their return as more gamers are willing to play games like Immortality, which utilize small actions and decisions to progress the game’s story.
When it comes to interactive movie video games, each scene has already been pre-recorded through live-action actors and media. Depending on the choices the player makes, whether it be to go through door 1 or door 2, it will determine what scene plays and in what way the story will progress.
What makes this title different is the fact that players will have to use a mechanic called “match up,” as this will allow the player to investigate the many scenes that encompass Immortality, as the player will have to look closely at each scene to find the minor details that would be missed unless you were looking for those details in the first place.
Within Immortality, there are roughly over 300 different clips that players will be able to investigate as they attempt to solve the mystery of Marisa Marcel’s disappearance, but these clips are not in chronological order and can easily become confusing, which adds to the challenge of the game and makes it seem spooky and daunting. But for those who stick with it, there will be an amazing story to uncover that will stay with you for years.
