Immortal Mantis: Revenge

About

Immortal Mantis: Revenge is a role-playing game that flips between two parallel stories. You play as a cunning serial killer plotting murders and solving riddles to achieve an unknown goal. Then you switch to a detective driven by a desire for justice, piecing together clues to track them down. The game mixes puzzle solving with crime simulation, letting you manage each character's actions and choices. Both storylines progress separately but share the same setting, hinting at a deeper connection as you play. What makes the game stand out is how it forces you to balance careful planning and investigative thinking. The killer's heists require stealth and strategy while the detective's path involves analyzing evidence and interviewing witnesses. Without needing prior knowledge of the series, the story unfolds through environmental details and character interactions. Early reviews praise the clever pacing and moral ambiguity. Available on PC since February 2024, it's a tight 10-15 hour experience for players who like slow-burn mystery and ethical dilemmas.
