Nobody Wants to Die time to beat

An average playthrough of Nobody Wants to Die will take roughly six to seven hours. This assumes you take some time to explore the game’s world and interact with some of the side content available to you, and is backed up by a comment from the developers on the Steam Community forums.

If you’re the kind of person that just wants to blitz through the main story and doesn’t pay much attention to side content, you could get through Nobody Wants to Die in five hours, or even as little as four. Conversely, players who really take the time out to explore every nook and cranny should be able to squeeze out up to 10 hours from the game.

Nobody Wants to Die is not a massively long game, especially when compared with other detective games such a LA Noire. That being said, it’s a fairly standard length for an indie title, and the shorter length is reflected by a pretty decent price, so we have no complaints about it.
