Writing about Immortality is extremely challenging. It's unlike anything else out there, and discussing its gameplay too much could spoil the experience. Rest assured, I'll steer clear of anything that might ruin it for you.
I can begin by explaining that Immortality is a blend of a game and an interactive movie, featuring real people.
The game begins with a video featuring an actress on a talk show. Within the first few minutes, you realize that by pausing the video and selecting a person or object, a new video will start, similar to your selection. Your task is to unlock new videos by doing this.
As you unlock new videos, you're introduced to the life and career of Marissa Marcel, a talented actress. Her story is compelling and well-crafted.
I can't reveal much more, as even how to progress in the game is a spoiler. It's not very clear to the player how to move forward. At some point, I felt satisfied with the experience and understood what I needed to do, but still struggled with how to finish. Towards the end, I became fatigued and eager to complete it.
I played the iOS version and found the controls to be unreliable at times. There was a particular video where I knew what I needed to select, but it took me about 20 minutes to do it correctly. I wouldn't recommend this version, to be honest.
One more thing to note is that the game contains explicit scenes, including nudity and sexual content, so be prepared for that.
In summary, Immortality offers a unique experience despite some minor issues. I wish the game offered clearer guidance on what the player needs to do and was a bit shorter. Nonetheless, I recommend playing it on a PC or console, avoiding the mobile version.

@RedBackLoggd Thank you very much for the compliments! It's really challenging to write about this game. Anything can spoil the experience. Ideally, play without knowing practically anything, and I'm sure you'll have a unique experience.
I've played Her Story, and there are many similarities, especially since it's from the same creator. Perhaps the big difference is that in Her Story, your searches are text-based, making progress slower. Moreover, Immortality's story is much better!!!
I'll be keeping an eye on your profile, looking forward to your analysis once you finish playing.

Np.
That's how I played Her Story ironically haha. Knew nothing about it other than that it was a mystery solving game.
Dang, the fact that you say the story is much better in Immortality has me hyped!
Won't be for some time unfortunately my friend - trying to clear out my backlog this year. I will be publishing one for Her Story hopefully within the month.

The cinematography and acting is great in this game. The rewind encounters get old and I found myself being more interested in the storyline of the films than the actual meta-jesus narrative in the hidden scenes.
@RedBackLoggd You played it correctly and you should try to do the same for Immortality.
Sure, I usually follow your reviews regularly. Whenever you play and write, I'll read it no matter how long it takes. lol

@Poet Exactly what I think! When the game started to explain that part you mentioned better, I feel like it became less interesting. I think if it had been more "down-to-earth," the story would have been cooler.
Aww thank you brother, I respect that.

Thank you so much for this review mate, appreciate you taking the time to avoid spoilers. Look-up the first paragraph of Matt Zoller Seitz's review of A Ghost Story - your writing reminded me exactly of that.
Will definitely be adding this to my backlog.
