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.

Thats my MANNNNNNN
i love him so much, best babygirl <3
I play this game on steam and omg ending 7 for the dlc made me bawl my eyes out as i screamed no he can't die :(
MY SHAYLA..
I WAS THINKING ABT THIS GAME.I HAVE TO DOWNLOAD ASAP HES SO BABYGIRL
AAAHH I LOVE HIM SO MUCH HES SO POOKIE
I love this, its creative than most, and the story is just to die for (haha pun intended) i love it, ill buy the dlc one day hopefully :')
tem versao pt br
Não, você tem que jogar em inglês. Mas mesmo assim vale a pena jogar mesmo que tenha que ficar traduzindo com um aplicativo.
hi :') i downloaded the game and the dlc's, but it won't open for me unless i launch it through the app, but if i download and launch through the app then the dlc's don't work :(( i'm on windows
We don't support running through the app. If its not working then I suggest redownloading and making sure its located on your SSD, you've unzipped the files, and the DLCs are in the correct place.
thank you! i figured it out and installed through the site :') <3
Are u gonna implement it in mobile??
Thats a cool idea tbh i agree
No sorry
I had ending 2... And I must say that I cried a little. (just a little..), in short I loved it and I didn't even see the 5 hours of games go by. I'm in love with the game, and when I have money to spend, I buy the DLC. (otherwise I was wondering if it will be possible to add different body size? anyway thank you)
Thank you to the devs of this incredible game that is so much more than meets the eye and all of the beautiful, small and big pieces that will knit your perfectly imperfect heart back together- it not only is one of the best I have ever played for free ( though I am now buying the DLC too ! And will be getting any others in the future ) but it also has moments and small gifts for the player interwoven in- like the you are love ‘book’ in the bookcase one of the days- that touched a part of me I didn’t even know needed healing during a tough time in my life.
Not to mention Grim is my new favorite everything- beating out all of my many book and games hubby/wifeys of the past. I am seriously in love. And the writing is *chefs kiss* mwah ! So funny I actually laughed out loud like a nut many, many times. I really want to let the creators of this know that they are amazing, and I can’t thank you enough for the love you have given us through this, the hope and the healing- and the hottie Grim with the heart of
goldblack I love so him ( and you too, devs ) so much <3he's so babygirl I love him
Here have a Russian launguage?
нет, но я использую экранный переводчик вроде неплохо работает
A grumpy white haired malewife is all you need in life, take notes peeps.
the most babygirl of the babygirls 10/10 game my friends hate me now though
holy shit this was beautifully made right from the start to the finish... the art, the music, the banter and of course my babygirl casper <3 amazing vn & def one of my faves. i really enjoyed it tysm!
my first ending was ending 3, this was a good game!
OMG? This is the best game I've ever played
i need to get him pregnant
real
The game worked perfectly fine when i first downloaded it but it froze earlier and now it always stops working whenever i click on start or try to keep playing where i left.I already redownloaded it and when i play it on steam, the game freezes as well. Im sorry if i made some mistakes while writing, english is not my first language. Can someone please help?
You can try pressing shift + g and changing the renderer, but it sounds like it could be an issue also where you have the game installed. Make sure its on a SSD.
It worked great when I downloaded it yesterday, but when I visited today, it sent me back to the beginning, so I quit and closed the application. Now it will not open no matter what I do. Is there a way to fix this or do I have to redownload the game? I would really appreciate the help.
It's a little hard to know with so little information. I'd say give it a redownload and make sure its stored on your SSD.
I purchased Beyond the Bet via Steam, but the other DLC here, do I have to rebuy the DLC on Steam to use it? I'm frustrated that I didn't pay attention to which versions I was purchasing.
You can use the DLCs from itchio on Steam, just follow the install instructions on where to put the file.
I GOT ENDING 5 HES SO CUTE I MIGHT THROW UP IM GONNA CRY
how much endings does this have?? i got 2 but idk if there's more, i love this game SO SO SO SO SO much💓😔
If you only have the free version of the game, there are three or four endings if I'm not wrong
ohh okay thank you!
It hurts... Its not on android 😭
emulator!
THANK YOU
This game has me giggling and kicking my feet I'm so serious, please make some kind of sequel or something, I am obsessssssed
bought the game + DLC on steam after running through it once on here - i really recommend this game! v cute and the art is genuinely so good along with a great character creator at the start. v good game :D
i became so obsessed with this game overnight. i found it through steam awhile back. casper is by far one of my fav love interests ive come across in a dating sim. i loved the slow burn and the enemies to lovers!!!! im practically beaming!! i loved ur attention to detail whether it be the environment to the other "souls" on the app! so excited to buy the dlc when i have the chance!
Will there be an apk version?
amazing game, The DLC is definitely worth buying
lord help me how much of my student loan is about to go to the dlc and merch for this game ;-;
i was recommended this on tiktok an AGE ago i cannot understand why i didn't make time for it sooner. absolutely loved the design elements, loved the streaming screen, in love with my in game cat. I was a little confused when we never talked to anyone else on the app, with seeing dms just at the side of the screen i was really sure we were gonna get other reapers coming into it. i think that was my overall problem with the base game is grim not getting your soul is just like haha, awh well good thing we're in love. i really wished there had been consequence and a sense of risk in the base game like grim saying if i dont take your soul it will mess up the balance for reapers everywhere just so there felt like there was still a driving force pushing the bet towards the end of the week. the consequences might be in the dlc for all i know at present but i do wish they'd been slightly more present here. all in all though 9 out of 10. it's a phenomenal game and free at that, and absolutely worth a play.
It's a very long game to play, it feels like a slow burn and it differently is. It is worth the hours but I won't say that it is the best game I have played. Again I must state it is worth playing the game!!!!
about how many hours did it take you to finish this game?
This is such a great game!!! Im so addicted to this even though i already finished it, I still cant forget the interaction between my character to Grim!!! it makes me feel the butterflies in my stomach. TYSM!! for creating this game.
Genuinely obsessed with this game and now idk how to fill the void. The DLC was fantastic tysm <3
I've known this game since a month before launch, and I got to say, I love Casper. He's so bbg fr, I bought the dlcs and played them and omg, he' so so.
how do you get the dlc to open? for me it wont.. even after following the instructions (im on windows)
Sadly I can't tell you for sure since I got it on Steam.
you have to copy/move the dlc file (it´s an rpa file) into the "game" folder inside the a date with death folder. like, when you open the game's folder, there are the "renpy", "lib" and "game" folders. if you move the dlc file there, it should work and the next time you play you'll see a "thank you for buying...." screen
I've done everything I could possibly do... BUT I CANT OPEN THE DLC WITH THE GAME I WANNA COOL FIT!?!? ToT HELP ME PLEASE!!!!
I'm on mac btw Idk if that has something to do with it.
Hi there - unfortunately all I can tell you do to is to follow the instructions. If you can't get it to work, you can request a refund from itch.io and grab it on Steam where it handles all the files for you.
Sobs because i need an android version 😔
This game was amazing! I loved it💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
