Nobody Wants to Die - Link
If you thought cyberpunk 2077 is dark, you want to play this game.
Want to be a detective in cyberpunk 2077?
This cinematic cyberpunk noir indie game takes place in the futuristic New York where nobody dies.
With just a "small" monthly fee, you can live forever! Yes, a freaking subscription for permission to live!
It feels like you hardly own anything you buy these days, with everything turning into a subscription.
In the future, that includes your own life.
Fans of subscriptions (if you exist), keep your excitement contained!
Because it gets worse. A serial killer is determined to eliminate the elites of New York.
Pay hefty subscriptions and still die, oh... and no refunds! The horror is unbearable!
You play as the detective with the objective to stop this serial killer.
I'm sure Johnny won't be happy, but you have the law to uphold, Detective!
Ok, now where is my cat. I need a hug.

Brief description from the storepage:
Lose yourself in the dystopian world of New York, 2329. In this interactive noir story, lead the investigation using advanced technology as Detective James Karra, who risks it all in pursuit of a serial killer targeting the city’s elite.

You should probably play the first game first.
This hilarious 8-bit detective game takes a lighter approach to murder mystery than Nobody Wants To Die.
Ride a swan and join Detective McQueen in solving 6 murders.
Expect tons of slapstick humor and punny lines.
Buckle up for this point and click adventure as you explore 6 separate locations.
Gather clues and interact with interesting NPCs to figure out what happened.

Epic Games:

Return To Ash - Link
After some cyberpunk noir, this is your eye bleach.
Return to Ash is a relaxing (at first) but surreal adventure visual novel about the afterlife.
At first, I didn't even notice but Return to Ash refers to the idiom that means end of life.
You wake up as the eponymous protagonist, Ash in a strange purgatory.
Everywhere is white like a hospital, but it is no longer the hospital you were in.
You have no idea where you are and don't remember much.
As you explore this realm, you come across intriguing characters and learn about yourself along the way.
You also come to meet the popular personification of Death.
Survive Death's trials and maybe you'll find a way out.

Brief description from the storepage:
“The hospital was empty. Quiet, and brighter than usual... like waking up on a snow day. But I didn't feel cold. I didn't feel much of anything.”

Features single player only!

This is a starter pack for a free-to-play MMOFPS game.

You try to survive with your friends against the post-apocalyptic world with mutants and raiders.
Form clans and build hideouts.
Defend your base from enemy raiders and mutants.
Or make friends and trade items with them.

Brief description from the storepage:
STALCRAFT: X is a free-to-play MMOFPS with RPG elements. Start exploring the world of the Zone with a Starter Pack. It includes everything you need for your initial raids: a 7-day Premium, weapons, armor, artifacts, and cosmetics.
