i think both it's incredible strength and it's unfortunate weakness is how esoteric the mystery actually is.

I was absolutely floored during the opening hour of Immortality, in awe of how much substance there was to chew on - to unearth "what happened to Marissa Marcel." But i quickly felt my enthusiasm wane the more i scrubbed on. Many of the questions i thought i was answering veiled behind imagery in the frame didn't really lead anywhere fruitful, and that felt a little disappointing.

Maybe that's the point -- Immortality knows that i'm begging for more as i try to satisfy my theories. They're able to get away with it since the tellling of it's narrative is so good. There just wasn't enough bite beneath it all to really stick with me.

And yet, i still can't help thinking about what happened to Marissa Marcel...
