The value story

It has never been cheaper than $2.49. That was October 2026. Its cuts run 75 percent off as a rule. There have been 21 in the 2 years tracked, about 6 weeks apart. Today's $2.49 at 90 percent off matches the lowest price in the record.

Take the discount away and it is a 43. With it, 66.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 6 percent on value. It is pricier than 95 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 77 percent. It outscores the games it most resembles, including Lacuna – A Sci-Fi Noir Adventure ($15.99, scores 53) and Alfred Hitchcock - Vertigo ($19.99, scores 49).

This site sampled 800 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 4 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written August 2025 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 58 percent of the 446 reviews written there were positive, against 83 percent overall, and those are 8 percent of everything written about it.

What players say

I finally finished this wonderful noir detective story with a touch of fatalism and psychedelia.

If there's one thing that remains constant in this world, it's cynicism, drugs, and money. Nobody Wants to Die brilliantly explores all the dark...

Nobody Wants to Die is a cyberpunk noir at its finest. Steeped in the familiar dystopian themes of immortality, class division, and the commodification of human life - NWtD isn't afraid of tackling the Big Questions. The experience owes a clear narrative debt to media franchises such as Altered Carbon and Paolo Bacigalupi's Pop Squad-magnificently adapted in Netflix's "Love, Death + Robots"-particularly in its...

There are a few art assets that were clearly created with Midjourney (The cover of the notebook with plans to "quell the masses" stood out to me in particular), but this game does not have an AI disclosure. There are some areas in the first chapter that are clearly cut content (key pads that you don't need a number for that open doors that go nowhere). The ending feels like it was rushed. A lot of info about your...
