Nobody Wants To Die is a narrative-focused detective game set in a retro-futuristic cyberpunk setting. The Bladerunner-inspired rendition of New York City with this unique twist creates an excellent atmosphere, as players take on the role of disgraced detective James Karra as he investigates the mysterious cover-up of a prominent official's murder. While the game is quite linear, there are several areas in which it opens up to allow players a degree of freedom.
