Description


Lose yourself in the world of New York, 2329, where immortality comes at a price that someone has to pay. Following a near-death experience, Detective James Karra takes an off-the-books case from his chief with only the help of a young police liaison, Sara Kai, to assist him. Time reveals all as they risk everything in pursuit of a killer, uncovering the dark secrets of the city's elite.



Experience a noir adventure in an alternate future of New York City in 2329; technology has advanced to offer humans eternal life, allowing consciousness to be stored in memory banks or transferred from one body to another. That is, if you can afford the subscription.



See through the eyes of Mortality Department Detective James Karra on his hunt for a serial killer who targets the city’s elite citizens. Investigate crime scenes using his time manipulation augmentation and advanced technology to reconstruct events leading up to each murder and uncover clues that lead to the horrifying truth behind the murders.



Lose yourself in a dystopian future through this meaningful and original interactive detective story, that explores the dangers of transhumanism and immortality. In a world of eternal life and vanishing morality, you, a hardened detective, must navigate the lines of right and wrong in a society where death is a distant memory.



Utilising the power of Unreal Engine 5, Nobody Wants to Die pushes the boundaries of storytelling, combining photorealistic graphics and a distinctly unique narrative experience.

Amazingly beautiful, and great cyberpunk noir atmosphere. Very interesting narrative. If you are looking for a game where you have to solve puzzles and is challenging, this is not quite it. More like a interactive

Pretty good adventure walking sim with a bit more gameplay than usual in the genre. Great voice acting, decent graphics, very beautiful set pieces. Very depressing game about a world where humanity reached immortality.

Visually gorgeous, but I found the plot clumsy and confusing. Feels like it needed way more time in the oven. Didn't understand the stakes of anything, so didn't feel motivated to finish the story.

I gave this game a fair shake and ultimately I think it's fine but I wouldn't replay it and I wouldn't go out of my way to recommend it. Visually it very much wants to be Bioshock, which is fine, but if you're going for

After getting both endings to the game I can very safely say this has become one of my favs! I loved the banter between Sara and James and the absolute gut punch from the good ending hurt in the best way, I'd love to

Enjoyable game. I liked the art, audio and music. Production values are decent but the gameplay was uneven. I often found myself revisiting the same area and finding an interactable I'm sure wasn't there the last time.
