What is Nobody Wants to Die?

Nobody Wants to Die is set roughly 300 years in the future. A string of murders shakes the upper class of a dystopian society, and players step into the role of detective James Karra to solve the case in a roughly six-hour, linear campaign. Assisting him along the way is fellow officer Sara Kai.

Until when is the game free?

The PC version of Nobody Wants to Die is free to claim until February 19. Anyone who redeems the game during this period will keep it in their library even after the promotion ends.

Originally released in 2024, the game runs on Unreal Engine 5, delivering impressive visuals. It carries a USK 18 rating.

How to claim the game on the Epic Games Store

To add the game to your account, log in to the Epic Games Store or create an account if you don’t already have one (direct link to the game). Search for Nobody Wants to Die, click “Get,” and then complete the checkout process. Once claimed, the game will be permanently added to your library.

How good is Nobody Wants to Die? Reviews & playtime

On Metacritic, the game currently holds a score of 75, with a user score of 7.3. German gaming outlet GameStar awarded it 80 points, praising its dystopian cyberpunk setting, cynical noir-style protagonist, dense atmosphere, and strong visuals.

At around six hours, the campaign is on the shorter side. Players looking for heavy action or combat may find it less appealing.

These are the next free games on the Epic Store

From February 19 through February 26, two additional titles will be available for free, though they are less widely known: Return to Ash, a roughly three-hour, story-driven visual novel, and Stalcraft X, an MMO set in a Stalker-inspired world.

A C64 marked my entry into the world of PCs. I spent my student internship in the repair department of a computer shop and at the end of the day I was allowed to assemble my own 486 PC from “workshop remnants”. As a result of this, I later studied computer science at the Humboldt University in Berlin, with psychology also being added to my studies. After my first job as a research assistant at the university, I went to London for a year and worked for Sega in computer game translation quality assurance. This included working on games such as Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed and Company of Heroes. I have been writing for Notebookcheck since 2017.
