Alongside today’s launch, developer Half Mermaid announced that its new game Immortality will be coming to Mobile in collaboration with Netflix.
IMMORTALITY will be coming *very soon* to Apple and Android devices on @netflix. We are taking some extra time on our mobile release to ensure it’s the best possible experience for Netflix members around the world.

Half Mermaid did not clarify a release date, but did say the mobile version would come “very soon.” The official Half Mermaid Twitter account tweeted that the team is “taking some extra time on our mobile release to ensure it’s the best possible experience for Netflix members around the world.” The team also announced an eventual Mac version, which will be releasing “as soon as we can get it to you!”
Like writer/director Sam Barlow’s previous games, Immortality is based around scrubbing full motion video clips to piece together a broader mystery. In this case, the mystery concerns the fictional actress Marissa Marcel, who disappeared after producing just three films. Players scrub through scenes from the films and other related footage to try and discover Marcel’s ultimate fate.
