A secret agent must escape dangerous situations and prevent a criminal organization from carrying out its plans in I Expect You to Die. Players work for an intelligence agency investigating Dr. Zor, the leader of Zoraxis. The story develops through missions involving explosives, hidden mechanisms, security systems, and scientific experiments. Each operation places the agent in a confined environment where solving puzzles is necessary for survival. Mistakes can cause immediate death, requiring players to restart the mission.

Secret Agent Missions and Locations

The game contains seven missions set in different environments. Players investigate a vehicle aboard an aircraft, enter a laboratory, explore an underwater facility, and visit a mountain lodge. Later assignments involve a train, Dr. Zor’s boardroom, and an orbital space station. Every location contains objects that must be examined and combined to complete the objective. The missions gradually reveal Zoraxis’s activities and its plans involving a dangerous weapon.

Puzzle Mechanics and Agent Abilities

Gameplay takes place from a first-person perspective, with players interacting directly with objects around them. The agent possesses telekinetic abilities that allow distant items to be moved and manipulated.

The main gameplay activities include:

·         Searching compartments for hidden equipment.

·         Examining documents and discovering security codes.

·         Disarming bombs and avoiding mechanical traps.

·         Combining objects to solve environmental puzzles.

·         Using telekinesis to retrieve distant items.

·         Operating switches, buttons, and control panels.

·         Completing missions without triggering fatal hazards.

Survival Challenges and Final Operation

Players must observe their surroundings because ordinary objects can contain clues or conceal dangerous mechanisms. Some puzzles have several connected steps, requiring the correct sequence of actions. Failed attempts help reveal how traps operate and what should be avoided.

The final mission, Death Engine, takes place aboard Dr. Zor’s space station. Players must stop an orbital weapon before it fires at its target. Completing this operation concludes the main campaign.

I Expect You to Die does not feature character experience levels or equipment upgrades. Progression depends on completing the seven operations. Players can revisit missions to discover additional interactions, complete optional challenges, and improve their completion times.
