Nobody Wants to Die
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.

Critics reviews

4/5
Nobody Wants to Die doesn't bring much invention to the table - but while it lacks originality, it has atmosphere, heart and relevance in spades.

7/10
Nobody Wants to Die will hold your hand whether you want it to or not, but its deep dialogue trees and unique touches almost manage to elevate it into something special.

8/10
While Nobody Wants to Die is not a long game, that short length has allowed the developers to pack in a solid detective story and a beautifully designed world with surprisingly deep lore. The investigation mechanics aren’t the best, but don’t let that put you off this slick, quick love letter to old-school detective films.

Good looking interactive SciFi story
Graphics are awesome and the story is interesting, but it didn't feel as you can really use the gadgets in any order you want. You had to go from one Objective Marker to the next with no real challenge or puzzles. Definitely looked cool though, but don't expect a real detective game with a branching story line - the final endings are mostly determined by one dialog decision.

Feels unfinished
Crappy controls. Often you have to move from side to side to see some clickable sign at place which you were looking at just from different angle. Graphics looks like tons of visual effects, but overall game feels like dead. The story itself is interesting but game-play is far from enjoyable, it feels annoying to be honest.

Optimisation?
If you're running between the minimum and recommended hardware for this game, this game is brutally demanding and I don't get why. I thought, it's an adventure game should be fine, nope. I've had to back it off massively and vsync it to 30fps and it is just unpleasant. I've given it three as I can't really rate the game itself as the experience is ruined by how it runs. It might be good. Maybe if GPUs ever become affordable again I'll reinstall it.
