Detective · Horror · Mystery
Immortality burrows under your skin with its unsettling premise: you're tasked with piecing together the lost films of a disappeared actress. The core mechanic, a brilliant interface that lets you "match cut" between scenes, is key to the experience. Players obsessively scrub through footage, chasing threads of meaning in a deliberately fragmented narrative that builds a creeping sense of unease. Its lingering power comes from the way it demands active participation, transforming you into a detective piecing together a mystery that may not have a clear answer.
