Immortality is awesome. I almost gave up about 10 minutes in because I was just confused, I guess, but holy crap am I glad I stuck with it. 

Immortality is a sort of supernatural mystery thriller told in a non-linear manner. It involves three films starring Marissa Marcel, a promising young actress that made three movies that were never released and then disappeared.

Here, have some screenshots:

That's what they called me in college... ladies.

Carl: Kind of a dick.

I'm not sure what else to say about it. The gameplay is pretty basic, you just click on stuff in the scenes that you watch that take you to related scenes. You can watch clips in reverse, which you have to do in some cases to see hidden clips and advance the story.

The actors do a great job, particularly Manon Gage (Marissa) and Charlotta Mohlin (The One).

Heads up, a good bit of nudity, foul language, and drug use. Immortality is nice enough to give you a content warning in the beginning.

Go play Immortality.
