IMMORTALITY Reveal Trailer - Coming Summer 2022

Barlow and development team at Half Mermaid announced Immortality’s delay onTwitter. “It has taken decades for Marissa Marcel’s work to find the light of day, so we’re happy to spend a month more to ensure the experience is as polished as possible”, they said. “We hope everyone anticipating the game will understand this necessary evil and continue to prepare to dig into the most complex mystery we have tried to answer yet.”
To make up for the delay a little, Half Mermaid shared a few new screens from Immortality. You can see them in the tweet underneath. I’m quite liking the look of this, as there’s something Lynchian about the vibe it’s giving off.

Everything about Immortality exudes Barlow, as you might expect. That’s okay though, because Alice Bee enjoyed his last game in herTelling Lies reviewdespite finding it a somewhat voyeuristic experience. “The two year timespan of the videos includes espionage, eco-terrorism, pregnancy, teeth falling out, bedtime stories, blackmail…” she said, “there’s a lot going on, basically. It’s like condensing a whole arc of Eastenders into a few hours.” Speedrunning at The Queen Vic, I like it.
Following its delay, Immortality is now due out on August 30th onSteam. Not too long to wait now.
