What is happening now

Immortality is a point-and-click narrative game built around full-motion video and non-linear storytelling, playable across console and mobile platforms. Created by Sam Barlow, it invites players to piece together the mystery surrounding an actress through fragmented film clips and scenes. The game has largely receded from active coverage since its 2022 release, though Barlow has remained active in game development. He's now working on Precognition, a live-action sci-fi horror title announced for Nintendo Switch 2, which will employ similar FMV and narrative freedom mechanics that defined Immortality. The project signals Barlow's continued interest in blending cinematic presentation with unconventional storytelling approaches.
