Nobody Wants to Die

About

Nobody Wants to Die drops you in a crumbling 2329 New York where the rich live forever and the rest of us aren’t on the list. You play as Detective James Karra, chasing a killer who’s picking off the city’s immortal elite. Use time manipulation tools to rewind crime scenes, piece together witness statements, and navigate a world where “forever” costs a small fortune. The story leans into noir tropes with a cyberpunk twist, letting you interrogate suspects, follow digital trails, and make choices that ripple through the case. The game’s strongest bits are its moral gray areas and the way tech shapes the investigation. You’ll question who deserves to live forever while uncovering corporate secrets buried deeper than the subway system. While the single-player narrative is linear, side cases and evidence collection add layers to the main hunt. Early playtests highlight the time rewind mechanic as both practical and a bit trippy, though the pacing can lag during dialogue-heavy scenes. Still, it’s a solid pick for fans of detective stories with a speculative edge.
