She instantly fell in love with the medium, because it is apparently similar to how beings like herself perceive the world. This prompted her to watch Fischer’s movies, which was her first exposure to film. She took up modelling and attracted the attention of director Arthur Fischer. The One eventually made her way to London, attracted by the culture. The real Marissa's last wish was to live forever. However, the One still has certain memories of the people she has consumed, and traces of the real Marissa remain. This is why she doesn’t appear to age through the course of her career. The Marissa we see in Immortality isn’t the ‘real’ Marissa, but The One. The One was instantly struck by Marissa’s beauty, and took her to a farmhouse and consumed her. As she wandered the war-torn villages in France, she came across a young woman, Marissa Marcel, dying in a field, having been left for dead after being sexually assaulted by German soldiers. The One hibernated through the First World War and awoke at the end of World War II. The One and Other One manoeuvre time by hibernating. The One however, still maintained her faith in humanity and her fascination for their art through the centuries. However, it seems that this effort was ultimately a failure, and the Other One grew jaded because of this, developing a contempt for humanity. The details are hazy, both because of the passage of time and multiple retellings, but The One apparently played the role of Christ, and Mary Magdalene and Mother Mary were the same person. But their greatest endeavour, their attempt to ‘elevate humanity’ was the story of Christ and the Crucifixion. In the universe of the game, they are responsible for the story of Adam and Eve and the Fall of Man. ![]() The One and the Other One both initially had a deep fascination with storytelling, art and humanity. They have been around since the dawn of time, and exist by killing people and then taking their form. The true main characters of Immortality, the ones who have driven the events of the game, are a pair of supernatural, immortal, parasitic entities called The One (Charlotte Mohlin) and The Other One (played by Timothy Lee DePriest). Discovery is the essence of Immortality, and you should really only be reading this if you’ve already played the game, because I intend to discuss the most hidden parts of the game. I'm going to be discussing the deepest layer of this game and how it affects the wider range of events. For this piece, I went through all the clips multiple times and put together a timeline of events, and I now feel equipped to do a complete breakdown of Immortality as I understand it. The fragmented, non-linear, layered nature of this game can make it difficult to follow the plot of the game, especially at its deepest layers. But as anyone who has spent more than a few hours with the game will tell you, it goes far beyond that. There are plenty of compelling mysteries in this basic read of the game alone. She resurfaced in the late '90s (having not aged at all) to make one final film (Two of Everything), that was also never released, before vanishing for good. Neither of them were ever released, and she disappeared from public life, becoming a recluse. On one level, it’s about Marissa Marcel, an actress who made two movies in the late '60s and early '70s (Ambrosio and Minsky, respectively). Immortality is also a very dense and layered game. The two are very different in terms of how you play them and what they’re about, but discovery of new information is a core component of both these games. If you like Outer Wilds, you will probably like Immortality. Immortality is one of those games that reeled me in based on premise alone - a mystery game told in non-linear fragments with the player’s natural curiosity to find answers to the ever-increasing number of questions as the driving force of the game, and where the unique mechanics end up being used to illustrate the game’s many themes and ideas.
