How to Find Every Clip in Immortality

Finding all clips in Immortality is the aim of the game, but how exactly does one do that?

Immortality is a sublime, innovative, and immersive FMV mystery game that hides a truly harrowing truth behind its main hook of a missing actress whose three movies she was ever involved in never saw the light of release. To solve her disappearance, players must investigate footage clip on top of footage clip, crisscrossing objects and matching hotspots until they can paint an entire picture of what exactly transpired. For a game all about secrets, its very own mechanics hide a lot within them.

How to Find Every Clip in Immortality

When it comes to Immortality, it’s a simple process of trial and error through its object of interest selection. Click on literally everything that is available within a single frame of each clip. Skim through the clips and pause anything new that appears that may be of interest. For example, these can be but are not limited to the following:

  • faces
  • curtains
  • glasses
  • water
  • fruits
  • blood
  • crosses
  • slates
  • artworks
  • chairs
  • microphone
  • jewellery
  • gun
  • keys
  • makeup (red lip)

That is an exhaustive list as is so there will be many, many options to select from. The aim is to exhaust every single option. If you select a hotspot and end up in a scene you have already watched through, simply exit out of it and try again anywhere else. Selections can and will tend to result in different outcomes because where the leads go are randomized but do tend to be relevant in most cases (for example, chairs do transform into different chairs in other scenes, or selecting water in a glass does move you to a scene in a pool).

Clip counter

As an extra push in helping out, the game does not come with a clip counter which would help in determining how far you are to the end goal of completely the game fully so here are the exact number of clips you need to experience the entire game.

  • Ambrosio (1968) – 76
  • Minsky (1970) – 69
  • Two of Everything (1999) – 57

You will unlock the achievement/trophy “Cinephile” upon collecting every single piece of footage to confirm all 202 total clips have been viewed.

Other tips to heed

  • Both Steam and Xbox include the usual trophies and achievements, and it’s no different with Immortality that came with them upon launch. Use these as unexpectedly helpful indicators to how well your progress is going to unlock every bit of the game’s content since each one uses a slider and percentage amount to indicate how close to fully completing each milestone is.
  • It cannot go understated enough just how important listening out for specific sound cues are in the game. Use this to know when to slow down the game for certain narratively important scenes to play out that overlap existing clips. These can be linked to achievements. Likewise, take note of what you should be looking out for with the clearly titled and described trophies/achievements that actually identify clear objectives you should be chasing after – for example, clicking and thereby collecting all stills of animals, crosses, and guns award achievement/trophy unlocks.
  • The game can be completed in barely two hours if not shorter depending on how narratively important your clip finding happens to be. Once the credits roll, however, the story has not fully been unveiled. Compiling every single clip is the literal aim of the game with Immortality, so go back and exhaust every single option by selecting all hotspots possible and discovering every single hidden footage by slow rewinding and fast-forwarding.
  • On a final note and once we cannot understate – listen out for audio cues. These all-important hidden footage scenes only appear in certain clips and at very specific timestamps. It can be easy to miss them, so plug in your headset and wait for when the music clearly spikes. Doing so will eventually award you the very last unlock of “Another Reality” once locating all 202 clips of the entire game.
