Telling Lies developer’s next game is Immortality, about a missing movie starThe curious case of Marissa Marcel
The curious case of Marissa Marcel
The developer of swell narrative gamesHer StoryandTelling Liesteased his next project last summer with a rather redacted store page. Half Mermaid and Sam Barlow’s next game,Immortality, has now been slightly more revealed to be a story about the disappearance of movie star Marissa Marcel. We don’t know much more than that, but it sure does sound like another twisty mystery is in store.
The teaser trailer for Immortality is right here and it does, pardon me, set the scene. Marissa Marcel appeared in three movies across thirty years, but none of the movies she filmed ever wound up being released. Marcel herself went missing, which is presumably the mystery you’ll be untangling.

Since there’s little else to go on so far, here are the blurbs for Marcel’s three films from Immortality’s page:
For what it’s worth, Immortality was known asProject Ambrosiobefore it was fully revealed. Just a bit of all that former redacted information remains. Under the heading “2022”, the words “Barlow”, “custodian”, and “concordance” appear between a bunch of other covered text. A mystery!
Her Story and Telling Lies both revolve around scouring videos for clues to unravel some hidden stories. Alice Bee’sTelling Lies reviewsays they’re quite neat. Immortality’s description doesn’t explicity say so, but given the subject matter it feels safe to assume it involves even more of the same.
Okay, but Marcel isn’t real, right?
Immortality will release sometime in 2022 overon Steam.
