March 17, 2023

How does a small team create a nonlinear narrative game with full-motion video – and deliver this large-scale, high-file size experience to players on consoles, desktop, and mobile? Learn how Unity helped Half Mermaid build the award-winning IMMORTALITY, an interactive trilogy that turns match cuts into gameplay and deconstructs the medium of cinema.

“The cross-platform nature of Unity has always been a key part of its appeal.” – Sam Barlow, Game Designer, Half Mermaid
