Immortal Mantis: Revenge (v1.1)

A masked murderer who cannot die anchors this bleak pixel-art horror tale, where supernatural cruelty and personal trauma shape every turn. Fuyuki, known as Mantis, acts under the influence of a grim bargain with an entity called Father, while detective Sergei follows the pattern behind his killings. The story plays like a distorted cat-and-mouse investigation, balancing the killer’s perspective against the growing realization that his violence serves a larger purpose. Its tone is oppressive, graphic, and deliberately uncomfortable rather than action-driven.

Most of the experience revolves around examining environments, collecting clues, and solving puzzles that open the way to the next disturbing scene. Stealth sections put players in control of Mantis as he avoids attention and stalks through dangerous spaces, while pursuit sequences interrupt the slower investigative pace with more immediate pressure. Progression depends on noticing environmental details and working through increasingly sinister obstacles, not on mastering combat or building a character. An included playable prologue recaps the earlier story, so newcomers can understand the major relationships and stakes without needing to play the first installment.

Its strongest feature is the contrast between low-resolution pixel art and rotoscoped cutscenes, which gives the horror an unnerving, handmade quality reminiscent of FAITH: The Unholy Trinity. Multiple endings reward players who investigate beyond the obvious route and pay closer attention to optional details, adding some replay value to an otherwise focused narrative campaign. Immortal Mantis: Revenge suits players who enjoy grim indie horror, puzzle-led adventures, and serial-killer stories with occult overtones more than those looking for constant combat. Fans of psychological horror and retro-styled games that turn limited visuals into an advantage are likely to get the most from its unsettling atmosphere.
