No One Lives Forever tells the adventures of Kate Archer. This is the name of a spy (formerly a skilled thief) who works for the Unity agency. This organization monitors peace on planet Earth. One day, its participants suddenly begin to die. And the heroine is tasked with finding out who organized the hunt for them. The plot is presented with humor. It makes fun of spy action films. Lore is further revealed through notes scattered throughout the locations. Events take place in the 1960s. This is the first part of a small series. The game is a first-person shooter and also a stealth action game. It can be completed quietly or in a traditional way for the FPS genre. For those who like to shoot, there is an extensive arsenal. There are 4 types of cartridges available for almost all types of weapons: regular, penetrating, poisonous, and incendiary. Before starting missions, you can select equipment.

The video game is also known as NOLF and Nobody Lives Forever. Unlike other projects where there is stealth, you cannot drag the corpses of enemies here. This is explained by the lack of sufficient physical strength in the heroine. Therefore, she simply gets rid of the bodies, sprinkling them with a special destruction powder. Enemies here can not only see, but also hear. They are capable of raising the alarm. There are surveillance cameras on the maps. With their help, opponents can spot the spy girl. If she makes a noise and starts a shootout, the adversaries will begin to hide behind cover. In addition to people, there are dogs. Their attention can be diverted with the help of an electronic poodle. There are also other gadgets like a master key, distracting coins, explosive lipstick, and perfume with sleeping gas. As you progress, these devices receive upgrades.
