Nobodies: After Death is a hand-drawn point-and-click puzzle adventure in which you clean up after murders instead of solving them. As a cleaner for a secret agency during the Cold War, you sneak into each scene, dispose of the body and hide every trace, all while a story about a stolen bioweapon plays out. It continues Nobodies: Murder Cleaner and suits solo players who like inventory puzzles and short, self-contained missions.
Evidence is limited: 55 Steam reviews, 53 of them positive, but only three written reviews are available here. Players enjoy the reversed murder-mystery idea. Each mission mixes classic inventory puzzles with one-off tasks, and you can fail in creative ways before finding the single solution. SteamSpy tags lean on Escape Room, Hidden Object and Point & Click.
The main caveat comes from one negative review, which says the protagonist's voice and some artwork are AI-generated without disclosure on the store page. Another player wished for more voice acting and animated scenes. It is very cheap, so it is good value for point-and-click fans, but buyers who avoid AI-made content should take note.
Pros
- You hide the evidence of a murder instead of solving one
- Each mission mixes inventory puzzles with one-off tasks
- Over 100 hand-drawn scenes for a very low price
Cons
- A reviewer reports undisclosed AI-generated voice and art
- Little voice acting or animation between missions
