Immortality: How Long to Beat

gamerant.com:

After the success of Her Story and Telling Lies, Sam Barlow and his team at the newly formed Half Mermaid have released its latest title: Immortality. In it, players have to go through three unreleased films, titled «Ambrosia,» «Minsky,» and «Two of Everything,» to investigate the fate of the missing actor Marissa Marcel.

Immortality is definitely building upon the team's previous works.While Her Story and Telling Lies had simply shot interview footage and candid webcam setups, Immortality features multi-camera dynamic cinematography. Instead of asking players to search for specific keywords in a database, it asks players to use match cuts to jump between the three films.

While exciting, the task can also seem daunting. The player will not only be going through three films' worth of footage but behind-the-scenes outtakes, interviews, and other miscellaneous video evidence. How long will it take players to dig through it all?

«How long does it take to beat Immortality?» is a difficult question to answer, for sure. Playtimes are going to vary wildly from person to person.

The absolute fastest times for this game clock in at around three hours to reach the credits. Those seem to be rushed playthroughs, however, and most reviews tend to place the game's runtime at 5-6 hours.

Like its acclaimed predecessor, Her Story, Immortality is a nonlinear experience. While certain clips are earlier to find than others, a savvy player can stumble into critical information early. Adding to this, not all clips are required for solving Immortality's mystery. Some players will make a beeline to the key clues, while some will take a winding path through errata.
