No-one has to die (Flash game) review

Well I didn't think I would be doing this, but No-one has to die surprised me. So I guess it's what I'm going to be reviewing today.

The Story:

You were delivering a package when the alarm went of. There is a fire in the building. But there are four other people in the building, the CEO of the company, two office workers, and the man who started the fire.


You happen to be in a control room of the building, and it is your job to save these people. But you can only save one of them in the end. Choose wisely.



The Gameplay:

At it's core No-one has to die is a really simple tile based puzzle game. You have control of all the locks, people, and water pumps in the building, and you have to save people by preventing them from burning alive, and drowning.


 It is so very simple, and it would seem like there isn't much too it, that is where you would be wrong. On each level of the game, one of the four characters must die.


 I'm not joking in order to proceed in the game, some one has to die. And to make matters worse, you have to choose between two characters. This is where the gameplay shines, you have to choose, and your choice has consequences on the story. But whats more interesting is that the title hints that maybe characters don't have to die.



Music and, Presentation:

This game is dark, I'm not going to lie about that. The presentation captures this perfectly with simple graphics and colors. Now the Music is AMAZING for a flash game. Whoever created the sound track has some serious talent.

Final Thoughts, and Verdict:

No-one has to die surprised me, with it's awesome story, gameplay twists, and Music. It is by far one of the best flash games I have played in a while. It's rather short, and it's free so you should check it out. No-one has to die gets a nine out of ten. It is a "Must Play" game.


Choose wisely.
