Aspiring sleuths have a thrilling week ahead as the Epic Games Store refreshes its selection of weekly giveaways. For a limited time, users can secure two distinct investigative experiences: the gritty, high-tech thriller Nobody Wants to Die and the witty, supernatural adventure The Darkside Detective: A Fumble in the Dark.
Nobody Wants to Die immerses players in a neo-noir, cyberpunk vision of New York City where death has been rendered obsolete. In this future, the wealthy achieve a form of perpetual existence by transferring their consciousness into new vessels. Players inhabit the role of Detective James Karra, who is hunting a predator that targets the digital essences of victims to ensure they remain permanently deceased. By utilizing time-manipulation technology to reconstruct crime scenes, you must navigate a web of conspiracy and the harsh socio-economic realities of an immortal society.
For those seeking a more whimsical approach to mystery, The Darkside Detective: A Fumble in the Dark provides a charming, retro-inspired point-and-click experience. As Detective Francis McQueen, you will tackle nine bizarre cases within Twin Lakes, a town proudly holding the title of America’s 34th most haunted city. This sequel maintains the series’ signature comedic timing and pixel-art aesthetic. Adding to the humor, the developers have even included a fictional “mail-in rebate” for exorcism services, just in case your investigative work invites any actual poltergeists into your home.
To add Nobody Wants to Die or The Darkside Detective: A Fumble in the Dark to your permanent library, simply log into your Epic Games Store account and claim them before the offer expires on Thursday, February 19, at 11 a.m. EST.
This latest promotion follows a strong month of giveaways for the platform, which previously featured the botanical puzzle game Botany Manor and exclusive content for Pixel Gun 3D.
