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: Lose yourself in stunning visuals that bring the story to life, and feel like you're truly part of the world of A Date with Death.

Hello!! I'd like to ask where your saved drawings from the drawing game go! I can't seem to find them even after I saved them!
OH NVM I FOUND THEM IN THE GAME'S FILE
This was so good! Firstly, the artwork is gorgeous. I love Grim's design and the character creator was such a pleasant surprise. The writing is also fantastic: I found the back and forth between Grim and the MC genuinely funny, and their mutual teasing is just adorable. Even became super
obsessedinterested in listening in on the neighbors. And you can have a pettttt!Will definitely be buying the DLC soon and have high hopes for the kickstarter!
Thanks to all involved for such a great game! 🧡
Created a male character for fun, handsome huh? ^_~
Double trouble for our babygirl Grimmy! 👻👻
I am in LOVE with this game! I managed to get the good ending just by using responses that felt natural to me. No VN has made me laugh and get so invested in it like this game has. All the little features made it so immersive. Seriously, the neighbors??? God, I was so invested on eavesdropping and I'm so glad I did lol. Now to get the DLC because I definitely need more of this!!
Same I absolutely love it... Best game !
It's so immersive because of the amount of customization and interactions... and ofc the star of the show our love... our own personal Grim Reaper! 💞
please spoiler this, it could ruin the experience for others
Ahh I guess they listened to you and deleted my comment, sorry my bad didn't think it would be a spoiler haha 😅
I love this game madly! I loved grim so much that it was impossible for me to get any other ending other than 'mine' 10/10
We look perfect together :3
This is my room I think it's cute:
In spanish? TuT
He's so freaking cute😭🧡 I love messing with him lmao
Hey, I'm having a hard time accessing the DLC through the itch launcher. I uninstalled and reinstalled the game after purchasing, and made sure the dlc is installed too, but when I launch the game all the dlc character customizations are still blocked out. Is there a trick I'm missing? I've never gotten dlc for a game through here before so sorry if this is something really obvious I'm missing!
Hi! The easiest way to install the DLC from Itch is to download both directly frmo the page (rather than using the itch launcher) then drag and drop the file from the DLC into the game folder.
Oh heck yeah, thank you so much!
honestly loved that ending(mine) I AM HEAD OVER HEELS INLOVE WITH HIM! I had zero standards for men in general and he just raised them higher then a plane after this lmao
I'm obsessed with this man <333
I absolutely loved this game so much! the character customization was a super nice touch and oml don't get me started on grim he's so cute and I'm obsessed with his design!! I love every part of this game and hopefully I can get the rest of the endings soon ^^
I really enjoyed this game! I will say, replayability is a bit low currently for me but I might go back some day. Typically when I replay an otome I'll fast forward through seen dialogue on replays, and with the way this game is formatted it is really difficult to fastforward through, it was stopping all the time. But after a while I'm sure I'll replay it!
If you just want to see the different endings, save on day 6 and follow the guide! You can attain all endings from then onwards :)
Stop giving the r34 artists ideas.
Can anyone tell me how to save the game progress? I just started playing the game and I don't know how to do it.
Bud. Right mouse button or escape opens save menu. It works like that in every VN game as far as I know.
how do i dowload this game, can anyone help me out?
NO WAY I JUST MANHANDLED THIS MAN I NEED DLC NOW ASAP
NGHHHHH I NEED HIM BIBICALLY CHAINED UP, TIED UP, AND WHIMPERING
I PLAYED THIS GAME ON DEC 10TH OHMYGDOD CASPER anyways i want more casper content as a longterm casper fan
im bawling my eyes out what the actual hell i just died in his arms
As an australian i can confirm that i have seen grim chilling in the city
i want the story about the neighbors so badly im invested
I have tried multiple times to get the marriage ending, I do everything you said I needed to. BUT I JUST CANT GET IT WHAT AM I DOING WRONG HELP. Is it because I flirt with him? Like am I not allowed to flirt at all?????
I actually dk, I did what it said and got the ending in the first try. I suppose you did joke about marriage in the first day and then spoke about it on the 5th and 6th? Also I flirted too and it worked perfectly so it can't be it.
i really love this game! i love the interactions, and banter... it's perfect!! thank you so much for this
PLEASE MAKE AN IPAD VERSION! PLEASEEE
Jesus fckn christ i did NOT sign up for him to make me behave like i did.. fckn BRO I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD GIGGLE AND BLUSH SO BAD IN MY LIVE WHAT IS THAT

BOY I TELL YOU I WAS SOBBING WHEN I GOT IT, I WAS CRYING LITERAL TEARS, RIVERS, MY POOR BOY CASPER WAS CRYING.Though I can't get the last ending since I don't have the DLC version, but overall everything is great!! IF I CAN I MIGHT DOWNLOAD THE DLC VERSION, THANK YOU FOR THIS GAME!

Just me who thought he looked naked 😭🙏
Also whats the age rating? Not including paterons and social media's only the game
Announcement! Two and a half studio's announced "discord server" that there's gonna be a "Expansion pass"! they said it will come around mid-may!
Whats gonna be in it?
1. 2 new endings 1st one is being with casper (or not in the future)
2. New art
3. Also additional content :) which u can chat 5 days with the grim reaper.
Finally！！！！！！！！！the new DLC is coming!!!!! I can't wait anymore!!!!!!
There's no expansion pass - we're working on an additional DLC, but only if it succeeds on Kickstarter first. There's no continuous content that comes with an expansion pass
wait so do you have to buy the DLC in kickstarter? Also is it coming in steam for the DLC? = Steam player here
It will be available on Steam/itch but only if it gets funded on Kickstarter, otherwise it will be cancelled. It is also not releasing mid-may - that is when the Kickstarter is. The DLC won't release until late in the year (if we raise enough money for it to be made)
ty
I ABSLUOTLEY LOVE THIS GAME ITS AMAZING, Just a question i'm a little confused how many endings there are? so I have gotten ending 1,2 and 3 (unbelievable by the way what an emotional roller-coaster) i keep seeing mentions of a ending 5 or a 'wedding ending' have no clue if it dlc or not i'm just wondering cause i wanna get all endings but tried to follow a guide to get the 'wedding ending' and ended up getting ending 3 again (but i don't mind tbh lol) i just thought i ask incase i trying to get something i can't, also if there is and ending 5 there must be a 4 right? so yeah i just don't want to miss anything from this amazing game so i juts thought i ask, many thanks <3

there's a guide to all endings on this forum!
ugh this game was SO GOOD i loved the art and casper was just so cute >-<
it won't let me play the game. i've downloaded it and every single time i try to play it crashes, any fixes for this? :
Maybe tell them what platform and specs you are using. Example samsung flip v phone, s24 ultra. Etc. Or a laptop, which laptop, or what pc are you using. All that information will greatly help them fix it or come up with a remedy. Just saying hey it wont work, will not help them or help you come up with a work around
LOVED this so much! Grimm was so cute ;;
i think i just fell in love with a fictional man.
samesis
this game was AMAZING!!!!!! i loved it so much i got ending 5 and 3 and i couldn't be more happy! the mc is just fabulous, that's the first time i find an mc with the same brain as me like literaly most thing they say is totally something i said or could say irl... And grim, i loved him s much i kept smilimg like an idiot through out the whole game :)))) and the amount of details and reference we can tell you had fun making it and love this game, i'm so glad i played it
I was not expecting a homestuck reference in 2024 but here we are
I'm trying to run it on my pc but get a Windows Security warning, saying this app may harm my PC.... anyone got this problem too and knows what causes this?
managed to bypass it by running the game through the itch.io app instead of a local download. maybe death is trying to get to me as well lol
