Nobody Wants to Die: A Dystopian Detective Tale
The year is 2329, and New York City has undergone a drastic transformation in an era where immortality is possible, for a price. The game delves into the ethical quagmire of transhumanism, exploring the dark underbelly of a society where death has lost its sting. Players take on the role of Detective James Karra, a seasoned investigator working the crime-ridden streets of this future New York. Armed with a time manipulation augmentation and a grim outlook honed by a near-death experience, Karra tackles an off-the-books case alongside his young partner, Sara Kai. Together, they risk everything in pursuit of a killer targeting the city’s elite, uncovering secrets that threaten to shatter the fragile illusion of this immortal society.
“Nobody Wants to Die” promises to be more than just a thrilling detective story.

With a 2024 release window, the game will be released on on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 consoles while releasing via Steam for PC players.
