Her Story and Telling Lies creator reveals new game Immortality – Pocket Gamer

Sam Barlow, the creator of non-linear FMV mystery games Her Story and Telling Lies, revealing his new project earlier this week called Immortality. Platforms besides PC have not been announced for this game yet, but as with the last two titles its possible it may come to iOS at some point.

Immortality had been previously teased by Barlow under the working title Project A?????? but now we have a full glimpse at what could be in the store for this game. It allows you to explore a recently discovered cache of film reels from the lost movies of actress Marissa Marcel, who vanished under mysterious circumstances.

You can check out the announcement trailer for Immortality below, which doesnt reveal a whole lot but shows three posters for Marcels lost movies: Ambrosio, Minsky and Two of Everything.

The trailer also reveals the project includes notable screenwriters Allan Scott (Dont Look Now, The Queens Gambit), Amelia Gray (Mr. Robot, Telling Lies) and Barry Gifford (Wild at Heart, Lost Highway.)

Due to the nature of Barlows games, its possible Immortality will make use of live-action segments in the form of Marcels lost movie reels.

I have always been fascinated by moviemaking, said Sam Barlow, the creator of Immortality. Delving into the history of cinema and sharing Marissa Marcels work with players is a once-in-a lifetime opportunity. We hope to use this footage as a lens to explore the medium and peek inside the second half of films first century. Perhaps it can bring closure to the questions around Marissas disappearance also.

Immortality is set for release sometime next year. The only platform currently confirmed for it is PC, but further platforms are expected to be announced at a later date.
