IMMORTALITY, Sam Barlow's Ambitious New Interactive Movie Trilogy, is Now Available



Brooklyn, NY. August 30th, 2022. Today, Half Mermaid Productions announces the launch of its new game “IMMORTALITY” – the latest title from director Sam Barlow, creator of the acclaimed “Her Story.” IMMORTALITY is already collecting accolades, having been part of Tribeca 2022’s official game selection and becoming the first independent game to be awarded a rare perfect score of 10/10 by Edge Magazine. 

Barlow says, “IMMORTALITY is the most ambitious project I have ever attempted. Over the last few years there have been many factors that could have prevented us from making it this far, but I have been lucky to work with a team of supremely talented people who feel as passionately as I do about restoring Marissa Marcel to her rightful place – living on our screens, twenty four times a second. I hope players all over the world will come to feel the same way!”

IMMORTALITY is available to play on Xbox Series X|S and Windows 10 including via Game Pass, and on PC via Steam and GOG.

IMMORTALITY will be coming very soon to Apple and Android on Netflix. Producer Natalie Watson says, “We are taking some extra time on our mobile release to ensure it's the best possible experience for Netflix members around the world.”

IMMORTALITY
An Interactive Movie Trilogy
Marissa Marcel was a film star. She made three movies. But none of the movies were ever released. And Marissa Marcel disappeared. An interactive trilogy from Sam Barlow, creator of Her Story.

IMMORTALITY is Sam Barlow’s first return to the horror genre since Silent Hill: Shattered Memories in 2009. In this game, players get to explore a treasure trove of newly discovered footage from the three lost movies of Marissa Marcel. By using a magical new mechanic – the ability to ‘match cut’ from a visual at any point in a piece of footage  – players navigate via cinematic language to dig up the secrets beneath the surface.

Written with Allan Scott (Don’t Look Now, Queen’s Gambit), Amelia Gray (Mr. Robot, Maniac) and Barry Gifford (Wild at Heart, Lost Highway), IMMORTALITY is a boldly ambitious attempt to deconstruct cinema whilst riffing on the mechanics of Pokémon Snap. Barlow’s goal has been to create a game as messy and personal, as wild and unconstrained as his favorite movies and books.
