Art-sy

Started without expecting much but ended up being very surprised with what I got by the end after 10 hours or so.

It's like a puzzle game, mystery included. You need to solve what happened to Marissa Marcel through tapes of unreleased and unfinished flims. Flims that were specifically made for this game, three in total. Those three flims occur on different eras. One made in the 60's, one in the 70's and one in the 90's. This is very important to note.

We unlock these different scenes by clicking on an object or someone's face. As we unlock more and more scenes we'll be having a rough idea of what each movie is about. Everytime we click on something a random scene with the related object or person will appear and roll out instantly without much context, it doesn't even need to be the same movie.

Don't worry if you can't get what are you watching at first. It is made on purpose and going blind I was the same. But like any good puzzle you'll be putting things in order in your head, thus making sense out of the situation even beyond the movies themselves.

But there is also a even darker path you can took, making some tricks in specific scenes, then it will trigger something let's say, revealing.

I really did liked this game, took me by surprised everytime it could. Surrounded by mystery in a messy plot, it got me hooked from start to end. But even after finishing it and unlocking most of the scenes, I can barely make out the whole meaning of it was by the end. But I'm still very intrigued by it, even after finishing it.

Spoilers ahead, be cautious






For what I could understand of the plot is that the "Immortal Woman" let's call her that, was trascending bodies through different time periods. Loving the medium of Art she tried to create the best story ever, so she used Marissa as a vessel after dying and making her the closest we can get to a "Perfect Actress", to create that perfect story she wanted to told to the world, a story that can trascend through time and elevate humans. But as time went on, she noticed that wasn't going to be possible because she didn't understood art in the way normal people did.

If we take a look how she acts during the scene she appears, she is the total opossite of Marissa's personality, revealing her motives and true self on screen.

That is what I can get out of this "movie-game". Definitely an interesting story to be told and "Immortalized"
