The game requires a lot of investment from the player, so it’s not for everyone, but the content of the footage remains entrancing even when your search feels aimless. When you have a lead that you’re tracking down, it can be exhilarating to tug at threads until you find a revelation, but there were times in the game that I found myself aimlessly bouncing around without a specific goal in mind, rapidly zoom and clicking over and over again to try to find an unseen clip. There’s no explicit checklist of things to discover, aside from the hidden achievements, leaving you to both discover what exactly it is you’re solving as well as the answers. Immortality doesn’t hold the player’s hand with this system, for better or worse. You’ll need to scrub back and forth through this footage to find the perfect shot, selling that sensation of being the editor of your own experience through this nonlinear journey. These connections can be made across all three films, so sometimes it can bring you to places that may have been hard to previously find. For example, if a character is hiding an important looking key from someone else, click on that key to be taken to another scene featuring it. This may not seem as easy to comprehend as simple search terms, but it leads the player by calling on their knowledge of the conventions of film, while still giving it room to bring you to unexpected places. Surprisingly, the game feels best played with a controller, giving you immersive and important haptic feedback while simulating the tactile nature of scrubbing through a very physical medium. If you see something important in the scene you want to know more about, pause and click on it, and you’ll be taken to another clip with that object, or something similar. Instead of using a text based search engine like the other two games, a surprisingly intuitive match cut system is utilized. In this case, the footage in question is from the three unreleased films of Marissa Marcel, a promising young actress who vanished without a trace. Much like Sam Barlow’s previous games Her Story and Telling Lies, you’re tasked with searching through a massive database of footage.
Performance, framing, editing and all other elements of film are integral to making sense of the overall experience. Rather than emulate the experience of movies with long cinematics, it ties the language of cinema into its mechanics, story and themes in significant ways. Immortality, the latest game from Sam Barlow’s Half Mermaid, shows its love of cinema in a different way. Quantic Dream and Supermassive create interactive movies, featuring scenes punctuated by quick time events or story choices, while Kojima Productions inserts long, lavishly directed sequences, generally requiring no interaction from the player.
Many developers try to make ‘cinematic’ games. She must now explore the halls of Winterlake, all the while fending off whatever it is lurking in the mansion. Caroline ends up waking in the middle of the night, naked in a bathtub, and hooked up to medical equipment.
The story centres on a woman named Caroline Walker, who is investigating the disappearance of twin girls at the Winterlake Mansion. Harkening back to the classic PS1 days of Resident Evil and Silent Hill, Tormented Souls features optional tank controls, fixed camera perspectives and an “oldie but a goodie” spooky mansion. It’s not all bad though, as Nintendo Switch owners will now be getting the survival horror title.

Classically-inspired survival horror game Tormented Souls is still very much on the way for PC gamers, although for last-gen owners of the PS4 and Xbox One, you’ll unfortunately have to face facts.
