While the game has been delisted, its creators went on to create ''Choices: Stories You Play'', an Android/iOS game that offers a variety of separate stories. One of those stories that is perhaps the closest to Cause of Death is ''VisualNovel/MostWanted''; the two have a few similarities. For one, San Trobida, a fictional location appearing in the 11th volume of Cause of Death, is mentioned early on in Most Wanted, as well as a ShoutOut to "Rise of a Maskmaker," an in-universe movie in ''Cause of Death'' based on the events of volume one. Other stories in ''Choices: Stories You Play'' mention Mansingh Transglobal, the company which Natara's father owns. Additionally, both of the series stare a male Detective in his home city, who is complemented by a federal agent visiting it. Apart from being contemporary murder mysteries, that's pretty much where where the similarities end.
