IMMORTALITY

It haunts you

Right off the bat, there's A LOT of nudity, simulated sexual situations, and arguably anti-Catholic or anti-Christian imagery/viewpoints (primarily within the context of an in-game film) in this game, as well a some violence (some staged within the in-game films, some "real world"). If you find that objectionable, then you're probably best to steer clear of this one. The game itself contains an even more comprehensive list of possible content triggers, and I suggest giving that a quick look before taking a deep dive into this game and finding that you're not prepared for what lies within. That aside, I think this game is brilliant. I've never touched a FMV game before, and I am so glad that this one was my first. To give you an idea how much I love it: I played it for free on Game Pass, finished it, loved it and couldn't get it out of my head. Decided that I needed to own it, so I bought it here. The gameplay is made up of scrubbing through "found film footage" related to three unreleased films, clicking on images within that footage to unlock new footage, and ultimately piece together the mystery of why these films were never released and why the lead actress disappeared. The films are a late 1960s religious exploitation film, an early 1970s style detective mystery, and a late 1990s style "woman in jeopardy, with a twist" thriller. The footage also contains additional hidden footage that shows there's more than what meets the eye going on here; sometimes you'll discover the hint for the hidden footage (there's an audio queue), but you can't get at that footage until other things have been discovered, so you have to keep coming back to clips to make sure you discover all the links and the hidden footage. The game play loop and the fascinating story will have you obsessively revisiting the same clip over and over to try to unlock everything. If you've never tried a FMV game before, I highly recommend this as your first. You won't regret it.
