BROOKLYN, JANUARY 9, 2024 – Today, Half Mermaid Productions is excited to announce that their acclaimed and award-winning interactive cinematic trilogy IMMORTALITY is coming to PlayStation 5 on January 23 for $19.99.

The PlayStation 5 edition of IMMORTALITY restores all three of Marissa Marcel’s lost movies and their hours of footage, with new haptic and controller speaker features to bring to life the game’s virtual moviola. For true cinephiles, the game includes a Platinum Trophy.

“From the inception of this project, the goal has been sharing Marissa Marcel’s life and work with as large an audience as possible,” says IMMORTALITY director, Sam Barlow. “So I am thrilled to bring IMMORTALITY to PlayStation gamers and bring them face to face with a lost legend.”

About IMMORTALITY 
An Interactive Movie Trilogy

Marissa Marcel was a film star. She made three movies. But none of the movies were ever released. And Marissa Marcel disappeared. An interactive trilogy from Sam Barlow, creator of Her Story.

IMMORTALITY is Sam Barlow’s first return to the horror genre since Silent Hill: Shattered Memories in 2009. In this game, players get to explore a treasure trove of newly discovered footage from the three lost movies of Marissa Marcel. By using a magical new mechanic – the ability to ‘match cut’ from a visual at any point in a piece of footage  – players navigate via cinematic language to dig up the secrets beneath the surface.

Written with Allan Scott (Don’t Look Now, Queen’s Gambit), Amelia Gray (Mr. Robot, Maniac) and Barry Gifford (Wild at Heart, Lost Highway), IMMORTALITY is a boldly ambitious attempt to deconstruct cinema whilst riffing on the mechanics of Pokémon Snap. Barlow’s goal has been to create a game as messy and personal, as wild and unconstrained as his favorite movies and books.
