Introduction
Welcome to our Nobody Wants to Die Trophy Guide. Nobody Wants to Die is a single-player crime scene detective game with a fascinating story set in a unique 20s-style Cyberpunk world, which has been likened to the style of games like Bioshock. The world and story do a lot of the heavy lifting, as you are thrust into the mind of a grizzled detective struggling with mental health problems brought on by a faulty Shell. In this world, people rarely die, with unique technology allowing their consciousness to be transferred to new Shells, until a nefarious political plot attempts to limit this technology to the wealthy upper classes. The trophy journey is fairly simple, but with two separate endings, each of which has a trophy, you will need to either play the game twice, or make use of the PS Plus Cloud Saves to create a backup point.
