How Unity’s flexibility helps power IMMORTALITY’s unique gameplay and storytelling

March 29, 2023

How does a small team create a nonlinear narrative game with full-motion video (FMV) – and deliver this high-scale, high-file size experience to players on consoles, desktop, and mobile? With Unity’s flexible development platform and their own partnerships with Netflix Games and Xbox®, Half Mermaid launched 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

  • Imported and tagged a 400-page script into a nonlinear interactive experience
  • Optimized and rendered over 2,000 video thumbnails and transitions using the C# Job System
  • Condensed 10 hours of high-definition video footage and audio into an 11 GB download
  • Maintained an immersive “analog feel” for manipulating video footage using the Input System
