Meanwhile, actress Amy Archer watches footage of Carl's death, which allows The Other to take her form. The nostalgia causes The One to remember Marissa fondly and take on her form simultaneously with John's form, essentially existing in two bodies at once. Nearly 30 years later, Fischer gives the negatives from Ambrosio to John in an attempt to free himself from deathbed regrets. The general public assumes Marissa became a recluse. They kill John and takes on his form, shedding Marissa's form. John is horrified by this, which disappoints The One. Marissa reveals to John her and Carl's true natures as immortals, and that she killed Carl. Carl's death causes filming to halt, and the film is never released. To the rest of the cast and crew, this appears to be a tragic accident the truth is that The One intentionally killed The Other. While filming a scene, Marissa shoots and kills Carl with a prop gun at point blank range. The Other takes the form of lead actor Carl Greenwood. Two years later, John directs Minsky, a detective story set in New York City's avant-garde art world. The film's director, Arthur Fischer, steals the negatives, which prevents the film from ever being released. During filming she becomes romantically involved with director of photography John Durick. In 1968 she auditions and is awarded a role in Ambrosio, a film based on the gothic novel The Monk by Matthew Lewis. The One becomes Marissa Marcel, a French girl who is implied to have been mortally wounded by German soldiers in World War II and absorbed by The One as a mercy. However, they indulge The One in their exploration of humanity. The Other is ambivalent toward Humanity, seeing them as inferior copies of the immortal beings, and believes that the immortals and humans should exist separate from each other. The One is fascinated with humanity, particularly their proclivities for sex, violence, and art. They can regenerate from being killed, though some methods, especially burning, are implied to be physically permanent. Their kind's numbers have dwindled since human civilization began. This ostensibly ends the human's life, though elements of their personalities and memories mingle with the beings' own personalities and memories. Two immortal beings, "The One" and "The Other", predate humanity and are able to live indefinitely by taking on the forms of humans and living their lives. This synopsis follows chronological order. because of this, the plot progresses in a non-chronological, broken narrative format. Much of the plot is shown through secret footage the player reveals by manipulating the footage from the films, TV interviews, etc. The game will then show all other clips from the three films, as well as behind-the-scenes production footage and television and interview clips, which the player can review and seek out further persons or items. The player begins with one clip from one of the three films, and the player can pause and click on a person or item of interest. In the same manner as Barlow's prior works Her Story and Telling Lies, Immortality incorporates the use of full-motion video for the player to piece together Marcel's fate. Marcel has since gone missing, creating a mystery for the player to solve. The game is based on the fictional model turned actress Marissa Marcel (Manon Gage) who had starred in three movies from 1968, 1970, and 1999 but which were never released. A macOS version was released in April 2023. It was released for Windows and Xbox Series X/S in August, while Android and iOS versions were released via Netflix in November 2022. Immortality is a 2022 interactive film video game developed by Sam Barlow and published by Half Mermaid Productions.
