Nobody Wants to Die Endings Walkthrough – All Endings & Puzzles

Nobody Wants to Die is the latest game to answer the question 'what if we had a Cyberpunky world with some other things?', and this time those things are crime scene reconstruction and immortality. Here I'll be walking you through all four endings and all evidence board puzzles. Be wary of major spoilers ahead.

All Endings in Nobody Wants to Die, Explained

Nobody Wants to Die has a total of four endings, and despite the game informing you multiple times that choices you make will impact the story, your final ending comes down to your decisions in four key moments throughout the game. I'll list out these key moments below so you know what to watch out for.

Icarus Lounge
Choosing whether or not to shoot the dead rich guy in the head. Very sportsmanlike.

The Secret Room
Choosing whether or not to shut the door after you leave the weirdest rich person rec room I've ever seen.

Conversation with Sara
Accusing either 'The Murderer' or Green of being behind everything.

Jane Salma
Choosing whether or not to shoot Jane Salma/Sara's Body/The Murderer (yeah I know) in the final confrontation. This choice technically has two variations, depending on your chosen ending. Ending #1 and Ending #2 will have you lay on the ground, and your choice will be whether or not to shoot Jane Salma in the back. Ending #3 and Ending #4 will have you stood talking to Jane Salma, and you'll either have to choose between shooting her, or throwing away your gun.

Ending #1 - The Sort of Bad Ending

Ending #1 isn't all bad, but it's not great. Sara will be quite upset that you've made something of a mess of her body, but at least the Murderer didn't get away in it. To reach this ending, you must make the following choices.

• Do NOT shoot the dead rich guy in the head.
• Do NOT close the door in Green's Apartment.
• Select 'The Murderer' in the conversation with Sara.
• DO shoot the Murderer/Jane Salma.

Ending #2 - The Not Great Not Terrible Ending

This one is mostly the same as Ending #1, but this time you'll instead allow Jane Salma to walk away at the end. You're still toast, but at least Sara has a chance of getting her body back. Choices are as follows.

• Do NOT shoot the dead rich guy in the head.
• Do NOT close the door in Green's Apartment.
• Select 'The Murderer' in the conversation with Sara.
• Do NOT shoot the Murderer/Jane Salma.

Ending #3 - The Worst Ending

This one is the properly bad ending, as this sees you killing Jane Salma, but sadly Sara won't get a second chance of things like she does in Ending #1 and Ending #2. You also don't really come to terms with everything that's been going on, so it's just a lose lose all around really.

• DO shoot the dead rich guy in the head.
• DO close the door in Green's Apartment.
• Select 'Green' in the conversation with Sara.
• DO shoot the Murderer/Jana Salma.

Ending #4 - The Good (?) Ending

This one is the 'good' ending if only for the simple fact that you realise you're just a bit of a nutter, and have been all along, but you do get some closure and the chance to put those demons of yours to rest. Plus, Sara gets taken care of like she does in Ending #1 and Ending #2, so at least she still comes out of it alright. You're still done for though, sorry. In order to reach this ending, you'll have to make these choices.

• DO shoot the dead rich guy in the head.
• DO close the door in Green's Apartment.
• Select 'Green' in the conversation with Sara.
• Throw away your gun when confronted by Jane Salma.

All Evidence Board Puzzle Solutions in Nobody Wants to Die

The Evidence Boards are some of the only sections in Nobody Wants to Die that really let you get your thinking cap on, but sometimes the solutions can be a little unintuitive. Here I'll be providing the correct connections for all three Evidence Boards you can find in the game.

I'll be first naming the question, and then the piece of evidence you'll need to drag over to it to progress. Please note that in some of the boards you must wait for certain dialogue to finish before more options will be added to the board, so if there's something missing, you may simply need to wait a moment.

Evidence Board #1

In order to complete this evidence board, you'll need to make the following connections.

Evidence Board #2

This second board has quite a lot more options and some very terse-at-best connections to be made. The solution is as follows.

Evidence Board #3

Gone is our small yet practical midtown apartment floor for this final evidence board, instead replaced by the cold hard metal of an underground slum house. The solution to this board is as follows.
