Immortality, the narrative online game developed by Her Story’s Sam Barlow, is now out there on Apple iPhone and iOS units, free to Netflix subscribers. Extra intriguingly, the story’s full-motion video — which incorporates nudity and a number of other intercourse scenes — is offered intact.
Immortality is a thriller recreation involving the disappearance of a fictional actress named Marissa Marcel whose profession spans from the Nineteen Sixties to the Nineties. The gameplay includes matching digicam cuts from Marcel’s motion pictures to unlock extra footage depicting her on-camera and in rehearsals. After sorting via the footage, the participant can ultimately put collectively the puzzle of what occurred to her. It’s a Polygon Advisable recreation and, in our opinion, already among the finest of 2022.
One of many movies in Marcel’s biography is “a sexual thriller,” therefore Immortality’s extra mature content material. Apple’s App Retailer is famously strict relating to video games, apps, or different content material with mature themes, specifically sexually express content material. Nudity, after all, continues to be current in content material on streaming providers like Netflix or HBO Max (or the consumer’s personal iCloud folder, to be trustworthy), however Immortality could be a uncommon instance of an app with sexually express materials saved on an iOS gadget itself.
Immortality initially launched on Aug. 29 for Home windows PC and Xbox Sequence X. It’s out there without spending a dime to Netflix subscribers via Netflix’s iOS app.
