Due to the sheer volume of spoilers, all spoilers are unmarked. You Have Been Warned!no-one has to die. is a Visual Novel and Puzzle Game from Sammy Madafiglio on Flash game site Newgrounds.The setup is simple: you are the No Name Given protagonist, referred to in-game as the "Visitor". While making a delivery to the Fenix Corporation, you find the security guards dead and a fire breaking out, endangering the lives of four people: employees Steve, Christina and Troy, as well as CEO Lionel. You assume control of the security system to try to save them, but due to the limitations of the system, you must decide who lives and who dies as the fire spreads. Communications between The Visitor and the four main characters is done through text chat, and reveals more and more of the story, and the Fenix Corporation's true purpose.See also Virtue's Last Reward, a visual novel that very clearly inspired no-one has to die. | |

Heroic BSoD: Steve does not take Christina's death well, lashing out at the player, desperately asking for Christina to reply, deluding himself into believing she's alive and making a crackpot theory as to why she survived from the fact that some cockatiels were taught to say "Christina lives". | |

Title Drop | |
| no-one has to die. (Video Game) / int_18d15922 | comment |
Title Drop: The first title drop is done by Lionel in his ending as he describes a theoretical best-case scenario in which traveling back in time grants immortality aside from accidents. The second title drop is in the Merged Reality, where Troy happily says the game's title when the computer system tells the group "no casualties expected". | |

Chekhov's Gun | |
| no-one has to die. (Video Game) / int_22cf536c | comment |
Chekhov's Gun: At the very start of the game, the announcement system mentions TEMPEST being engaged. TEMPEST is a Time Machine, and its engagement is its destination time period being set to the start of the incident. On floor B2, there are seemingly useless doors in front of where Lionel and Steve are, due to both of them being able to be protected from fire by water. In the Merged Reality, the doors are used so that you can save both of them without condemning one to drowning or burning. | |

| no-one has to die. (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae | comment |
Awesome, but Impractical: The Visitor notices that Mental Time Travel to the future by more than a few hours is useless, because the traveler's body will rot beyond recovery before their mind can catch up to it. Lionel admits that this is a known issue, and Fenix is looking into answers. "Currently, freezing seems promising." | |

Bittersweet Ending: Thanks to the Merged Reality, the Visitor is able to get everyone out of the building alive. However, Christina goes back into the TEMPEST to try to save her mother, due to being a murderer and an arsonist, and having spent far too much to avenge her mother to let her efforts be in vain. In addition, countless alternate versions of the characters had to be sacrificed or continue on in their universe without any knowledge of what happened. | |

Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Steve is sarcastic, hot-tempered, short-fused, impatient, rude, and crude, going as far as joking about Troy's death. Steve, however, begs the Visitor to spare Christina when it comes to the choice of killing either him or Christina. | |

I didn't." and "I knew the security code because I heard you read it out." Lionel: "Our true interest here is time travel." Bad Endings: "Two casualties unavoidable." (There are only two survivors left when it appears.) Start of the final path: "Fire on Floor B3. No casualties expected." End of the final path: Christina: "I've been here before." | |

Liar Revealed: The player finds out that Troy was lying about being the arsonist in an effort to get himself killed so that someone else is saved in his ending. The characters however (save for Christina, who knew he was lying because she was the true culprit) don't find out until the Golden Ending. The Golden Ending also shows that Christina lied to Steve about the cause of her mother's death, telling him that she died of a tumor when she was actually killed in an experiment. | |

The Reveal | |
| no-one has to die. (Video Game) / int_6b2b3b59 | comment |
The Reveal: Steve's ending reveals that the cockatiel experiment involved more and more cockatiels being bought, with the purpose of teaching them a phrase, until one of the cockatiels already knew the phrase. They then passed the birds through a machine, which killed all of them except the one who knew the phrase. And the phrase in question? "Christina lives." Christina's ending reveals she was the one who started the fire because Fenix Corporation killed her mother. Troy's ending reveals he didn't really light the fire, and that he's apparently lived through the fire several times before, and now just wants to die after failing to save anybody else over and over again. Lionel's ending reveals Fenix Corporation's true interest is time travel. The Omega Ending reveals Christina already went through the ending where everyone lives, and is planning to travel the multiverse in search of a timeline where her mother survived the experiment. | |

Meaningful Echo: In the ending where you save Troy, he begins explaining his odd behavior by saying "I've been here before.", referring to him having lived through five different timelines where everyone except him died. Later in the Golden Ending, Christina repeats this line to reveal she has already been to a timeline where everyone lived, and she's jumping in the TEMPEST machine again to try and find her mother again. | |

Mental Time Travel | |
| no-one has to die. (Video Game) / int_7cc7ff15 | comment |
Mental Time Travel: Time travel forwards in time results in your body becoming lifeless until the destination date is reached, reviving you. Conversely, time travel backwards in time involves a person's consciousness being sent through the multiverse back to their body at the destination time, possibly ending up in a different reality altogether. However, sometimes multiple consciousnesses end up in one reality, leading to one overwriting the others. This also means that some realities don't get a consciousness after the time travel, leading to that person entering the time machine and permanently losing their consciousness, as what happened to Christina's mother. | |

Retraux: The style of the characters' portraits are cute, simple, 8-bit-style drawings. The sound effects are chirpy bleeps as well, in contrast to the orchestral music. Justified in that you're using a chat program to communicate, and run simulations on the same computer to decide what the characters should do. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| no-one has to die. (Video Game) / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: Christina's dialogue, especially her reactions to people's deaths, makes much more sense when you learn she lit the fire. When she learns that Steve and Troy are in the building, she's shocked, as she didn't expect anybody but Lionel to be in the building so late. She gets strangely upset when Steve starts joking about Troy's death, because she knows he didn't really light the fire. If you choose to save her over Steve, she gets quite aggressively upset with you, because the only reason that he was in danger was because she forgot to make sure the building was empty before lighting the fire. By contrast, she's perfectly content to let Lionel burn, since the fire was an act of revenge against him; in one of the bad endings, she also brings up the possibility that the fire was lit to stop Fenix Corporation's shady operations. | |

Time Travel: Researching this is the true purpose of Fenix Corp. Going forward works perfectly, but going backward has... issues. When you go backwards, your consciousness is thrown into the multiverse and spat out in a random timeline. Sometimes this gets you back to your own timeline, and sometimes you end up somewhere else. This is the fate that befell Christina's mother; she ended up in another timeline, no alternate version of her claimed the shell left behind, and she died. | |

No OSHA Compliance: In order to use the building's fire suppression, you have to enter 4 different codes to use it to full effect, the codes are all kept in different locations, and head of the company Lionel doesn't even know them all himself. Additionally, the water sprinklers have to be manually activated...which is probably fortunate, because they release enough water to drown people. | |

Maybe Ever After: Christina doesn't admit to being in love with Steve until the true ending, when she leaves to search for her mother and Steve never manages to admit to feeling the same. Though Christina wishes she could be with him, she decides to simply hope she can see him again one day instead. | |

| no-one has to die. (Video Game) / int_c5f0119c | comment |
Insane Troll Logic: Played for drama. Steve, devastated by the death of Christina in his route, becomes absolutely convinced that she didn't actually die. Why? Because a bunch of birds the company had been experimenting with well beforehand had been taught the phrase "Christina lives". Not only does this not logically follow in any way whatsoever, it turns out that wasn't even the Christina they were talking about. | |

Cliffhanger | |

Cliffhanger: If Troy and Lionel are the only people left alive, Troy finally appears willing to explain all the weird stuff he's been saying, and says that "[he's] been here before" right before the chat cuts out. If you want him to give you the full explanation, you need to spare him. Steve's ending involves him finding the papers for the cockatiel experiment and deluding himself into thinking Christina survived, right before he loses connection with the Visitor. Christina's ending has her ready to submit herself to the police when she suddenly disappears from the system. Lionel's ending has him begin to explain the purpose of the company, before he asks the Visitor to meet him in the TEMPEST room, disconnecting shortly afterwards. | |

Corrupt Corporate Executive: Lionel wastes no time in trying to bribe you to let him live, and his cold dedication to the company resulted in the mutilation of a scientist's body, which is what provoked her daughter to light the fire. Downplayed, in that he's also the most cool-headed of the four employees and never shows any actual malice—nor does he get upset with you in the bad endings, where his death is inevitable. In the ending where you save him, he even keeps his word and fully explains what his company really does to you, a delivery guy, even though he could easily refuse to do so since his life is already saved. | |

In Lionel's ending, he will stick to his word and tell the visitor that his company's true interest is time travel. The visitor is skeptical at first, but later believes him when proven. | |
