How do you create Immortality? In Part 3 of our Halloween Week deep dive into the game Immortality, our awesome Bronx intern Khloe Wilkerson interviews the one and only programmer for Half Mermaid, Connor Carson.

NYVGCC Interviewer Makeda Byfield writes: In August of 2022, Sam Barlow’s interactive gaming experience “Immortality” hit the market. And if the wave of NYVGCC content about it doesn’t get the message across, then I’ll spell it out for you all: we’re big fans! It’s scary, it’s creative, it’s visually enticing. The game’s protagonist is incredibly entertaining, and it was a delight to unravel her mystery over the equivalent of three movies. It was an honor to experience this piece of art, and it is now my honor to share my interview with the leading lady, Manon Gage! During our talk, we discussed our thoughts about the meaning of horror in general. Manon also talked about her origin story, a mobile gaming experience that would allow the audience to play Immortality on the go, as well as a Netflix release. I’m proud to share my chat with Manon about the creative process of “Immortality,” her path to this role, and what she hopes to accomplish next.

Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Boulevard?
Mosaic ceilings, painted tiles on the wall
I can't help but feel somewhat like my body marred my soul
Handmade beauty sealed up by two man-made walls
And I'm like
When's it gonna be my turn?
When's it gonna be my turn?
Open me up, tell me you like it
Fuck me to death, love me until I love myself
There's a tunnel under Ocean Boulevard
There's a tunnel under Ocean Boulevard
There's a girl who sings "Hotel California"
Not because she loves the notes or sounds that sound like Florida
It's because she's in a world preserved, only a few have found the door
It's like Camarillo, only silver mirrors running down the corridor
Oh, man
When's it gonna be my turn?
Don't forget me
When's it gonna be my turn?
Open me up, tell me you like me
Fuck me to death, love me until I love myself
There's a tunnel under Ocean Boulevard
Don't forget me
There's a tunnel under Ocean Boulevard
Harry Nilsson has a song, his voice breaks at 2:05
Something about the way he says, "Don't forget me"
Makes me feel like
I just wish I had a friend like him, someone to get me by
Leaning in my back, whispering in my ear, "Come on, baby, you can drive"
But I can't
When's it gonna be my turn?
Don't forget me
When's it gonna be my turn?
Open me up, tell me you like it
Fuck me to death, love me until I love myself
There's a tunnel under Ocean Boulevard
Don't forget me
Like the tunnel under Ocean Boulevard
Don't forget me
Like the tunnel under Ocean Boulevard
Don't forget me
Like the tunnel under Ocean Boulevard
Don't forget me, don't forget me
No, no, no, don't forget me
Don't you, don't you forget me (no, oh)
