Nobody Wants to Die Releases July 17, Gameplay and First Details for the Cyber-Noir Detective Game Detailed
Critical Hit Games along with publisher PLAION has revealed our first look at “Nobody Wants to Die,” a cyber-noir detective game coming to consoles (PS5, Xbox Series X|S) and PC this July 17.
If you ever wanted Tom Cruise’s Minority Report made into a game, this might be the closest thing we’ll get, though it doesn’t seem to feature as much action or will let you stop crimes before they happen just like in the 2002 film. Watch the gameplay trailer to see what a detective in New York City in 2329 can do.
Game Description:
Nobody Wants to Die’s gameplay trailer showcases the signature investigation methods the game is built upon, highlighting the captivating mechanics players will utilize to uncover evidence and analyze clues in its enigmatic city. The trailer highlights a variety of in-game investigation tools featured in Nobody Wants to Die’s first crime scene, including a UV lamp to analyze blood splatter patterns, a hand-held x-ray that can reveal secrets laid beneath surfaces, and time manipulation techniques. Watch until the end for a glimpse at some of the investigations available later in the game.
Nobody Wants to Die Game Details:
- In development for six years
- Noir adventure” set in dystopian 2329 New York
- Gamers play as James Karra, a detective in the ‘Mortality Department’ on the hunt for a serial killer targeting the city’s elite
- People can store their consciousness in memory banks and transfer them to other bodies, basically becoming immortal
- Interact with other characters through dialogue choices
- Investigate crime scenes with the ‘Reconstructor’, using time manipulation and advanced tech to reconstruct events and uncovering clues about each murder
- Investigations are ‘in-depth’: Comb through scenes for clues, examine your surroundings, use an X-ray device, UV light, etc to piece together exactly what happened
This looks to be an interesting concept, and one we can’t wait to get our hands on given it focuses on deduction more than action, which is refreshing to see nowadays.
No One Wants to Die scribbles out this July 17 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
