A Date with Death
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
You're just an ordinary person... or so you thought. For your entire life, you've been narrowly avoiding death by pure luck... or is it something more? When a strange program suddenly appears on your computer, and someone claiming to be the Grim Reaper says he's come for your soul, your life as you know it is thrown upside down.
As you delve deeper into the mysterious man that calls himself the Grim Reaper, you begin to wonder if fate brought you two together for a reason. Can you resist his charm, or will you fall for the one destined to take your soul?
A Date with Death is a supernatural romance chat simulator visual novel about the week long bet you enter against the Grim Reaper to attempt to keep your soul. Create your own character, from appearance to pronouns, decorate your apartment, and spend the (possible) last week of your life getting to know the one hunting for your soul.
💀 Custom Character Creation:
Build your own protagonist, from their physical appearance to their pronouns and name. Update them throughout the game!
💀 Room Design:
Decorate your apartment to your liking and create a cozy space that you'll love coming back to.
💀 Pet Your Furry (or scaley?) Companion:
Yes, you can pet the dog. Snuggle up with your furry friend and let their cute antics help you unwind
💀 Choices That Matter:
Make decisions that will affect your character's fate and lead you to one of multiple possible endings. What kind of relationship will you have with the Grim Reaper?
💀 Gorgeous Original Art:
It has to be said... the Grim Reaper is good-looking. Just don't tell him - it'll go to his head.

having trouble starting, file wont open for me kuku :( Resetting n allat, nunof its working rn!! will update when it does tho, reading the comments got me SOO EXCITED RAHH
I love this game so so so so so much. I would love to see it redone as an app game. I think it has the perfect making it for. It would just death texting instead of messaging. It would certainly get me to replay all the time. And if there was bonus content to purchase I’d be first in line. This game is fantastic.
everything about this game is amazing
okay but why is no one talking about the openning like that. was. FIRE.
this game will literally have you giggling and kicking your feet, if you like romance and visual novels youre missing out if you don't read this one
I love everything about this game. The customization for your character and the room? So pretty. The witty dialogues? Amazing. The art? Immaculate. My little Grimmy? I NEED HIM.
Got ending 3, will try to unlock all. But oh, how I love this so much. I will definitely buy DLC.
I tried to play today, although I always get a glitch with the character customization at the start. I even tried steam as an alternative and it does the same for me unfortunately.

It could be an issue with your computers renderer:
1. Firstly, try pressing shift + g in game and changing the renderer. There should be a few options, and you'll have to restart between each change, so try all of the options available.
2. If that doesn't work, try going to your graphics card manufacturers website and make sure there's not an update for your drivers. We've seen this behaviour very rarely with out of date drivers.
3. If you're using a computer with multiple graphics cards, make sure in your OS settings that the game is running using your dedicated graphics cards. Sometimes in two graphic card setups, we've seen computers assign renpy games to the non-dedicated/non-gaming one.
4. Try upgrading your DirectX version as well, this can sometimes cause graphical errors in Python based games.
Changing the renderer actually worked out for me. Thanks a bunch!
Es muy buen juego! Me gusta mucho el arte y como mc molesta a la parca. Mi unico problema es que está en ingles y no llego a comprender todo, me encantaria que estuviera en español.
Seriously had a lot of fun playing this game, it was super cute! I was playing this at night so I had to hold in some laughs... Because MC's interactions with our Grim Reaper were pretty funny, and adorable!
Oh, and I loved the art, as well as all the other little details in the game. Being able to customize quite a lot of things was a cute feature to have! Enjoyed playing every single second of it, the story was interesting to the end. Thank god I got a sweet ending... ^^
Hola chicos,quiero jugar el juego pero no se si está en español. me pueden decir si lo está?
Holaa,lamentablemente aún no tiene traducción al español, solo está en inglés
wahha guys is it normal for an error to pop up when u click the game on windows? this happened to me with another game and its telling me that its unsafe for me to play it and that it might put my pc in danger.
Yeah, it can happen on Windows, it's a false positive! If you're worried, you can also download it on Steam :D
Genuinely loved this game so much I finished my 1st playthrough here and immediately jumped to steam to purchase the DLC. I'm so excited to experience more of the story. Absolutely bummed though that I was just a few days off of being able to get the vinyl figure & a month off the plushies but i'll have to keep my eyes out for if you ever decide to make more stuff from this game. Adore it. New comfort game 1000000% !!
got me out here blushing and kicking my feet fr
i got this on steam, i also bought the DLC.
i absolutely recommend it, it's highly interactive and the chemistry/dynamic between MC and Grim is amazing
10/10 would flirt with the Grim Reaper again UwU
also i thought the Grim named his axolotl plushie after the player character but it turns out that's the actual name the devs gave the plushie, my go to name for my OC in visual novels or any games that is required for you to name your character is 'Azrael' so i was pretty surprised XD
I love you. I played this game like 8 months ago and I just can't find a game like this. THIS IS THE BEST I ever found!!! REALLY GOOD JOB!!
hi! i wanted to inform you that theres a glitch wyou know in the beging when you got to costumize your charachter
On Android and crying cause I can't get the game
The game was super duper cute and funny, loved the story too!! I loved the simple humor in there, I liked how well the game was built with character customization for both male and female player!! :33
Arte.
bro the married ending was a masterpiece… the ending 2 was just straight up make me tear.. you guys did awesome oml!!
WHAT WHICH ENDING IS THIS
"Can I make him whimper?~" I'm dying!!! The humour in this is immaculate. I thank everyone who helped make this masterpiece. This makes me giggle and kick my feet endlessly...
despite the fact he's not real.Does anyone know how to launch the DLC on linux? I bought it and can't seem to figure it out and really wanna play it.
played this game almost year ago, honestly made me think about this game ever since- its perfect for everyone to play, character is extremely likable and dialogue options are ideal. Everything about this game is 10/10
I think the same!!
Truly one of the best visual novels I played in quite some time. It's visually stunning, too. I laughed out loud several times. All the love to the devs, anxiously awaiting the dlc
when I played it was legit so good I 1000000% recommend
i need to get grim pregnant
WHAT
you heard me right.
this is so real
real
no no I get it
yeah, my wife
grim mpreg when
soon hopefully 🙏
one of the best visuals novels i've played ! i played this on steam and it was super !
3 things:
1- I love this game and its amazing and id totally recommend.
2- I have played this game i think more than 5 times tbh and i have yet to get this "marriage ending or ending 5" is it an actual ending pepole are getting, because ive been following guides and i have not gotten the ending once. ( i did not watch the videos cuz i wanna experience the ending my self) but like joking about the soul baby, meeting the in- laws and the shotgun wedding and yet no ending 5 for me??
£ is more of a lore question
3- If we wernt blessed with life or whatever the players thing is, would our fate be like the neighbours and the reapers?
Would we reincarnate and forget everything and Casper would be punished every lifetime? Or is the neighbours subplot like an AU???
Once again i love this game 10/10 would recommend
sacrificed my sleep to play this game fully. this is truly a masterpiece and one of the best games i've ever experienced. it might be my newest comfort game! no words could everrr explain how this game made me feel, it's cute and amazing - i like every bit of it. so, its truly worth playing. grimmy is now the loml !! <3
same omg i need to sleep
