You play an elite secret agent in a series of spy missions, each a self contained puzzle room full of gadgets, traps and hazards. You play seated, and can use telekinesis to pick up objects that are out of reach. Success depends on careful observation and thinking ahead, because one wrong move usually ends in a comic, cartoon style failure, after which you simply try again. The game has two sequels, I Expect You To Die 2 and I Expect You To Die 3: Cog in the Machine, released in 2023.
