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.

I love it so much omg, I wish I had the money to have the DLC (just lost my job) I had a blast playing and the MC was unique and all. I really wish it was longerrrr omg thank you for blessing us with this amazing game
I love this game :3 The art is gorgeous (PS: 🍰<- a piece of cake for the artist) and the plot is interesting but most importantly the love interest, I mean... no words to say the silence has already spoken ( ꈍᴗꈍ)
This has become my favvvv visual novel!
I really wish I could experience it all over again for the first time (◞‸ ◟)
The art, the story everything was absolutely gorgeous (ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈)ꕤ
I especially loved the chat and video call format, I’ve never seen anything like that in a visual novel before it felt so fresh and immersive ♡♡♡
I wish I could get the DLC version too ( ｰ̀εｰ́ ) can’t wait to be employed ( • ̀ω•́ )✧
EU NUNCA FUI TRISTE!
MELHOR JOGO QUE EU PODERIA JOGAR EM QUALQUER UNIVERSO!
Obrigado, você curou minha depressão, e Grimmy realizou meu sonho de casamento. Nunca mais reclamo da vida S2
buying this game during sale was the best decision of my life
soulbaby/10
i sat for five hours playing this...
no regrets 10/10
i love my wife grimmy
oh my geebers. this had me actually sitting up in my bed at 2 in the morning foaming at the mouth. HELLOO this is actually such a good visual novel from the art to the dialogue and the specfic details that it has, first off i LOVE the fact that the reader is able to design themselves so realistically like everything is so inclusive i LOVE it!! the appearance part had me gagged but then when i saw we could design our own room with a PET HELLOOOO i love this game with all my heart, its just so detailed and i love parts of that with visual novels like i just love the detail, its taking everything within me to not buy the DLC bro oh my lord casper has me genuinely FOAMING at the mouth oh i just love long haired men, thank you so much for blessing me with this novel
how do i pull up the menu like load and save if im not in the chatroom process?
hi! So, you have to press the ESCAPE button, the button on your computer that says "Esc". You're welcome! :3
this was my first game on itch and im gonna say it was SUPER fun!! I loved it! Grim is so babygirl
loved it :3
This was the first visual novel i played and I'm afraid I'm obsessed now.😍🥰
So baby girl
Before you all ask NO there won’t be an android version you’d have to make ends meet on your end! Two and half already stated that they don’t have time to change the UI so a android version will not be possible
I ACTUALLY LOVE THIS GAME?? I GOT EMOTIONALLY ATTACHED TO THIS GAME AND I LVOE IT???HELP..
real
i downloaded this game as a joke...cant believe I've actually fallen in love with the art and dialogue >_< highly recommend to anyone who likes dating sims, ITS SO GOOODDDDD UGHHH I WISH I COULD GET THE DLC
Just a quick question are you possible going to make it accessible for Android users also?
No, probably not. There are ways to make the current version work on Android on your end, but in general we don't have the time to redo the UI and make a proper android port!
Oh, alright then thanks for letting me know!
This game is truly remarkable. The exquisite art style and the considerable effort invested in its design significantly enhance the overall experience. However, I am currently encountering some challenges while playing. I am approximately halfway through the game, yet it has unexpectedly crashed, resulting in the loss of all my progress. While the amount of progress lost is not extensive, I find the situation quite disappointing. If this issue is identified as a bug and subsequently resolved, I would be willing to consider reinstalling the game.
Hi there, you'll have to give more details for me to look into it at all. Also, there are autosaves incredibly often, so going into the auto section of the save screen will let you get your progress back.
Hello there! Here are the issues I am facing in detail:
1. Every time I try to select the male MC, the game crashes and kicks me out. However, when I choose the female MC, the game runs just fine.
2. I eventually chose the female MC to continue the story. This happened around the point where the MC stumbled upon a fallen pole. I had the option to either let it fall on me or dodge it. I hope my memory is accurate. After that moment, the game crashed, and I lost all progress, having to start over from the beginning. Fortunately, I didn't lose much.
I appreciate your suggestion about autosave; that would be very helpful. Thank you!
It sounds to me like your computer is not compatible with the game/renderer or you had some broken files. Please try a completely fresh reinstall (and remove all save data from appdata) and press shift + G in game and change the renderer, then restart your game.
I recently played this game again....and let me say... IT DID NOT DISSAPOINT!!! I love Casper soooo much!! I would highly recommend this game if you're looking for a nice dating sim where you can choose the ending. 10000000/10
Such a baby girl.
lowkey can you please make a android version? please
oh my god??? this game is absolutely EVERYTHING, the design of Grim is SO pretty and cute and i don't have enough adjectives to describe it!! the plot is also very good, the fact that we can customize everything, i just loved this game!!! i got the 5th ending on my first try and i am so happy, it had me giggling allllll day long! definitely playing again to try and get all the happy endings!
can we get him pregnant?oh my god who said thatLOLL THE "omg who said that" 😭😭😭
I love our Grim Reaper so much! He’s so cute and pure — I can’t get enough of him! The overall ambiance of the game, from the sound to the visuals, is absolutely top-tier.
However, some interactions felt a bit forced or unnecessary. I feel like certain scenes could be removed without affecting the overall experience of the game, like it would still feel complete without those scenes.
Hii i really love this game and i wanna ask i downloaded the base game here in itch io. Is it possible that i buy the beyond the bet dlc from steam?
This game is amazing! Normally I'm not good with this type of games because when it gets flirty I feel second hand embarrassment. But this game is different! It's funny and cute and flirty but never akward. Except the jump from flirting to being in love is a bit to soon and too rushed, because the beginnig is very slow and the end is so much faster. I would like if they took more time for developing a serious relationship.
And im very happy for having the best end the first try^^ Or at least the best end in my opinion (Mine) <3
Absolutely loved :3 can't wait to buy the the the one yk :D Wanna get freeakkyyyy with himm
i'm shitting why is everyone here taling about impregnation
because it should be canon
can we get him pregnant :heart:
By any chance in the dlc can you possibly add a plot were he can impregnate the user?
i second this!!!
Why is every body saying that they want to get him pregnant..because I want him to get me pregnant!🙏🙏😭😭😭
NINE HELLS, i got the bad ending first! it broke me. is there a route where i could impregnate casper?
jokes aside, this is yet my fave itch game. thanks for the feels!
I apologize if this has been asked already, but i noticed on your twitter you had a tease for a voice dub. Is that something you are still working on? I loved the snippet that was shown and I think the voice fits our communal malewife.
played the whole thing, including dlc, with most endings, in one day. Absolutely love him. A true war crime this man isn't real.
I was wondering that too as I been seeing talk of that on tumblr by others
It'll be out when its ready!
ooh I'll get the popcorn to watch the fandom go feral. This'll be fun.
Thank you! Happy to hear it's still being worked on. I look forward to it whenever it's ready to be released. :)
Can you make one for Android? I don't have a computer or PC, and I really wanted to play 🙏🏻
WHY DID I HAVE TO GET THE SADDEST ENDING FIRST STOP
That really gave me a jumpscare
Can you pleasee make it android if you can idk how it works but i only have an android 🙏
