Old school pixelated graphics? Check. Mind-mangling logic puzzles? Check. An intricate, thought-provoking story the brings forth feelings of dread and death and disaster? Check check!
Immanence really is a unique experience, combining classic point and click gaming with modern takes on the futility of life, a future controlled by technology and basically being bereft of control. The whole thing plays beautifully, and flows wonderfully between standard puzzle-solving mechanics and off-the-wall additions to the genre like the use of your phone to access particular elements of gameplay and also connect with social media and your contacts to try and piece together exactly what is going on.
There's also a few wonderfully well-placed scary moments in the game too that require quick reflexes to get out of, and the autosave function isn't so harsh that you lose tonnes of what you've done if you fail once or twice (although it would be nice to have the option to save whenever you need to, it's not something that ruined the game being unable to do).
Massive thumbs up from me, I really enjoyed the whole thing and it really left me in a state of self-reflection (and a tiny bit of confusion). Great stuff, really recommend it to anyone who loves old fashioned 2D point and click games and fancies being a bit philosophical!
