Thriller game Immortality now available free to Netflix subscribers

The ImmortalityThe narrative videogame developed by Her Story’s Sam Barlow, is now available on Apple iPhone and iOS devices, free to Netflix subscribers. More intriguingly, the story’s full-motion video — which includes nudity and several sex scenes — is presented intact.

The Immortality It is a game that involves the mysterious disappearance of Marissa Marcel (a fictional actress) whose career spans between the 1960s and the 1990s. The gameplay involves matching camera cuts from Marcel’s movies to unlock more footage depicting her on-camera and in rehearsals. Once the footage is sorted, players can finally piece together what has happened to her. It’s a Polygon Recommended game and, in our opinion, already one of the best of 2022.

One of the films in Marcel’s biography is “a sexual thriller,” hence The Immortality’s more mature content. Apple’s App Store is famously strict regarding games, apps, or other content with mature themes, in particular sexually explicit content. Nudity, of course, is still present in content on streaming services like Netflix or HBO Max (or the user’s own iCloud folder, to be honest), but The Immortality This app would only be an exception.

The Immortality Original launch date was Aug. 29, for Windows PCs and Xbox Series X. It is available for free to Netflix subscribers through Netflix’s iOS app.
