Abstract(s)
Este artigo traz discussões em torno dos trechos com conteúdo bíblico
interpolados em Immortality (2022), jogo da produtora Half Mermaid Productions,
dirigido por Sam Barlow. Trata-se de um jogo com trechos de três filmes fictícios,
chamados Ambrosio (1968), Minsky (1970) e Two of Everything (1999). O que liga os
três filmes é a atriz protagonista, Marissa Marcel (Manon Gage). Ao procurar pistas sobre
o paradeiro da atriz, o jogador deve buscar nas filmagens, rebobinando e acelerando as
fitas, momentos importantes. Além disso, o jogador encontra filmes interpolados, com
personagens que contam uma história bíblica. Este texto aborda as questões a respeito da
jogabilidade, relativas aos estudos feitos por Espen Aarseth (1997), e a maneira como os
jogos funcionam para, em seguida, tratar as alegorias bíblicas que são encontradas nos
vídeos interpolados entre as fitas. Objetiva-se, portanto, questionar como estas alegorias
são representadas no jogo e que temas abordam.

It features excerpts from three fictional films, Ambrosio (1968), Minsky (1970), and Two of Everything (1999). The protagonist, Marissa Marcel (Manon Gage), is the connecting link between the three films. Searching for clues to the actress’s whereabouts, the player must find the footage for key moments by rewinding and speeding up the tapes. Furthermore, the player encounters interpolated films with characters telling a biblical story. This text addresses gameplay issues related to studies by Espen Aarseth (1997) and how games work, then addresses the biblical allegories found in the interpolated videos. Therefore, the aim is to question how these allegories are represented in the game and what themes they address.
