| DELUXE EDITION – signed + limited to 300 unitsThis is the ultimate way of experiencing IMMORTALITY: Design Works – available exclusively during our timed campaign, or until stock lasts. Housed within a custom archival box signed by IMMORTALITY creator Sam Barlow, explore the items within to connect with authentic-feeling evidence of a speculative history. The archival box is both a collectible and a true window into another world – that of the three in-game films Ambrosio, Minsky, and Two of Everything. Included within are three folded movie posters and ticket stubs – authentically designed relics of long forgotten stories. Enjoy the three individual movie scripts included in this edition, each authentically bound as they would’ve been when handed out to Marissa Marcel. Comb over these scripts in great detail, as you may learn from the notes scrawled in the margins by Marissa herself. Also included is a newspaper clipping reporting on the larger-than-life star, an in-universe police report, and a pair of signed photos to complete the meta-concept of IMMORTALITY – one signed by Manon Gage (Marissa Marcel), the other by Ty Molbak (Carl Greenwood). Lastly, enjoy the Emmy Award-winning Nainita Desai’s original, haunting soundtrack on cassette for the first time, with campaign-exclusive artwork from Thinh Dinh. |

| THE SOUND ACROSS TIME COLLECTIONLost In Cult Records has teamed up with Black Screen Records to bring you the complex sounds of IMMORTALITY on vinyl, cassete, and CD. IMMORTALITY VINYL – limited to 300 copiesFeaturing design referential to Ambrosio with an exclusive custom-designed slipcase over the standard retail version sleeve, this campaign-exclusive variant is a double LP pressed on black recycled vinyl in a fully illustrated gatefold sleeve. Concepted to thematically tie into the period of Ambrosio’s cancelled production, the vintage feel both returns to that film’s 1968 context and contains the sophisticated, modern soundtrack of IMMORTALITY. IMMORTALITY CD – limited to 200 copiesIt was a simpler time. In homage to Marissa Marcel’s unreleased 1999 film, Two of Everything, this CD contains IMMORTALITY’s full soundtrack with a period-accurate design aesthetic and nostalgic jewel case. IMMORTALITY CASSETTE – limited to 200 copiesBefore skipping tracks was an option, there was the humble cassette. This classic C90 cassette tape features the full IMMORTALITY soundtrack, adorned in disturbing artwork from Marissa’s 1970’s film Minsky. THE COMPLETE IMMORTALITY MUSIC COLLECTION Complete the entire thematic set with a bundle of the vinyl, CD, and cassette soundtracks, each designed after one of the in-game movie universes and their respective eras. |
