Nobody Wants to Die: the cyberpunk thriller that questions immortality
First game of this double offer, Nobody Wants to Die immerses players in a dystopian New York in the year 2329. Here, death is no longer inevitable for those who can afford it: consciousnesses are transferable, bodies interchangeable… provided they can subscribe.
You play Inspector James Karra, responsible for tracking down a serial killer who attacks the elite of this post-human society. The investigation quickly takes a philosophical turn: what does it mean to live when death no longer has weight?
Visually, the game flirts with photorealism. The nods to Blade Runner, BioShock or even Deus Ex are assumed, but Nobody Wants to Die succeeds in imposing its own identity. “In this dizzying dystopia, immortality is possible.

The Darkside Detective 2: dark humor in pixel art
Change of tone with the second free game: The Darkside Detective – A Fumble in the Dark. Here, we leave the futuristic megacities to dive into the absurd and supernatural city of Twin Lakes, where paranormal phenomena are commonplace.
You play Inspector McQueen, detective from the “Dark Side”, responsible for solving a series of cases as strange as they are crazy. The game, in pixelated point & click, is a tribute to the genre… but with devastating humor and dialogues full of geek references.
Awarded for its storytelling, unique style and retro soundtrack, The Darkside Detective 2 is an ideal adventure for fans of Stranger Things, X Files or even Monkey Island.

Why these games are worth your time
The EGS doesn’t just hand out games randomly. Here he focuses on strong narrative titles, with distinct but complementary universes. One explores the technological excesses of a too-perfect future, the other prefers to make fun of occult forces in a retro style. The common point? A desire to offer memorable experiences.
