Immortality is the new game from the author of Telling Lies and Her Story

Immortality was officially revealed as the game director's next game Telling Lies e Her Story.

The trailer for the new game from Sam barlow closed the Future Games Show, and revealed not only the title of the game, but the first hints of its plot and the launch window (2022).

The short teaser reveals that the game will introduce us to the story of Marissa Marcel, an actress who starred in three films that were never released before disappearing into thin air. In the ominous clip, we see the posters of these three films - Ambrosio, Minsky and Two of Everything - slowly go up in flames, before we hear Marissa's voice say: "My name is Marissa Marcel, I'm 17 and my dream is to be an actress".

Immortality can also rely on a team of stellar writers, which comprises Allan Scott, who wrote the seminal horror classic Don't Look Now and worked on the Netflix hit The Queen of Chess, the writer Amelia Gray, which he worked on Maniac, Mr. Robot and Sam Barlow's previous game, Telling Lies, and finally Barry Gifford, which he co-wrote Lost Roads by David Lynch and is the author of the novel from which it was based Wild Heart (also from Lynch).

Sam Barlow has been teasing this game for a while, with a teaser page for an elusive "Project Ambrosio" released on Steam last year, but now we have the first substantial clues.

Barlow also hinted that it will be a horror game, as stated on the Half Mermaid blog:

"I am particularly interested in a type of horror that lies on the periphery of your field of vision, a horror that once injected into your brain is not easily eliminated when you turn off the screen. For this to work, the real horror must take place in those dark off-screen places, the places where I worked diligently in Her Story and Telling Lies. This time, when we goad your suspension of disbelief, it will hurt you. "

Immortality is scheduled to launch in 2022 on PC.
