I won’t be able to give my two euro cents until I play the game, and that may take a while.

Chrissie, I’ll try to help you with your interface problem if I can. Are you using your new controller?

One very general hint to people who haven’t played Sam Barlow’s previous games: I’ve watched parts of two playthroughs and both made the same mistake of not rewinding scenes. You find new scenes by clicking on a person or an object in the current scene. Say you click on a key. The game will show you the same or another key in a different scene. But more often than not that’s right in the middle of the new scene. So always rewind or you may miss important info.

@zobraks: no problem, nobody should feel obliged to participate.

Interface problem? (Special?) Controller?
What exactly (meaning what hardware thingamajigs that don’t come with a good plain 2015 PC) do I need to play Immortality?

I’ve never owned a joystick.

It’s evolution, baby.

I wonder if adventure gamers in the 80s would have thought the genre would evolve from the 9 verb interface to 🕹️

Zobraks, you don’t have to use any newfangled thingamajigs. Just mouse + keyboard. I played it on my 7-year old PC. But a controller would make playing this particular game a bit easier.

Early Sierra games supported IBM analog joysticks which was especially useful in Manhunter games (1988/1989) that made use of a smart cursor, but had no mouse support. This is something I learned just recently at The Adventurer’s Guild blog where they are playing and rating games based on various criteria.

My daughter has all kinds of controllers so I may give it a go if the game is worth it.

I’m at the lowest step of it (as far as gaming is concerned).

Only for zobraks: The controller will vibrate whenever the rumbling sounds start that I mentioned earlier. That’s what I read anyway, I don’t have a controller. You decide whether you need one. But I think developer Sam Barlow also recommended using a controller.

Controller it is.

Thanks for the tip(s).

it’s not at all suitable for a CPT

Ok. I like anarchy.
