Just finished the game i really love the story and the music I couldn't stop vibing to the music and I and saved the sad ending for last and it made me cry 😢
hey im trying to get the dlc to work, ive tried putting it in the file and in the main folder, and ive tried installing it directly from the itch.io pc desktop app to no luck. is steam the only option for the dlc?
The desktop app won't install it correctly, but you should be able to install it by dropping it into the game folder as outlined in the instructions! It needs to be inside that folder, not alongside the .exe file.
Otherwise you can instead claim the Steam key and Steam does it all for you!
is it safe to play? I check all my game files before playing them and I also got a "Windows protected your PC" notification trying to open the application. I checked with virustotal to see, and it had a Bkav Pro detect malware red flag.
Yes it is. I just played through the entire game and my computer is fine. Sometimes malware detectors can pick up some game scripts as a red flag, but they aren't. Don't worry.
WOW. just,,, wow. I just finished playing & I'm in shock. Thank you so much for making this! as someone who plays a lot of dating sims this is prob one of my favs I've ever played.
The customization!?! The artwork??! The music!?! THE STORY?! And it’s FREE?! 100000/10 stars. One of the best otome games I’ve played in a while. Definitely pulled at my heart strings a little bit too. Amazing job! I hope you guys create similar games in the future! I’ll be following your work :)
i already went through all endings and even bought the DLC, but i cant seem to unlock this last one? does anyone please know how?? maybe theres a special dialogue option i need to chose to get it???
The game is just wow.I really liked it, just look at Grima's facial expressions! I'm so glad I was able to play this game and even purchased dls to support the author, you definitely deserve it for all your work! I'm looking forward to new projects, if there are any, I will definitely buy :³
On a more serious note, the amount of art and design that went into A Date with Death is really impressive!! This is such a gorgeous game, and I'm so happy it got so much love and detail during development.Both the visuals and the writing were so much fun, and genuinely make it my favourite VN I've played this year. <3
this game was so so lovely !! the details, the interactive computer and bedroom but most of all i love the dialogue. grim is the cutest thing <3 i love the flirting and banter it was so cute. those video calls had me grinning from ear to ear ! what a lovely game, thank you for this
TL;DR flirting with death has never been more fun, 10/10
The story's pretty cute, but I also want to voice my appreciation for the details! The neighbors side plot? The functional (!) apps in the computer? The books/diary excerpts? Amazing work!!
Also, his little >:< blushing expression is THE BEST aha, I felt accomplished whenever I saw it. MC can be such a menace (affectionate) to him and I love that for them <3
This game is everything and anything i could have asked for in a visual novel romance game!!!! the art is beautiful, the ending are heartwarming or heartbreaking and i love both! you get invested in the game and i love the aspects of the working computer and the many games and options on it! me and a friend have been playing for so long and are amazed by how great the game is! once i get paid im 100% getting the dlc! the only thing i’ve been wondering is what his voice would sound like? you know? but regardless this is an amazing game and i hope for more dlcs!!
such an amazing game, it was so interesting to playthrough, and the DLC? totally worth is, specially because it allows us to support you to keep doing games <3 literally 5 starts, 10/10, I replayed it two times already lol
again, thank you so much for the game and keep up the good work with the rest of your future games!
I've only just gotten to DAY 4 but OMGosh! You have put SO much work and love into this game!! Every choice of music fits the scene perfectly, the art is like candy for the eyes, and gosh darnit Grim's (Steve♥) smile is so precious! I adore the back and forth with him, especially when he counters my teasing with even more blush inducing teasing!! AND there's a little MS Paint in there? Greatest game ever, Baldur's Gate WHO??
this was PERFECT. the art is gorgeous, the dialogue hilarious and grimmy's blush has the power to resurrect me for sure. will def return and play again in the future <3
i just started this game and i really cannot honestly describe how hard i laughed at the "we are under fucking attack!" ad. or tbh at all of them. genuis
Such a fun game! I really loved the customization options for the MC, bedroom and the pet. You've made an incredible story. Grim was such a sweetheart, and I'm glad my chaotic!good MC got the marriage ending and the constant babble about Soul Babies. Great stuff!
I love this game so much, I've been waiting for it for a while! I'm planning on a 100%, just finished my first playthrough and got ending 2 which made me tear up a bit ngl :')
I came here after completing all the endings on my steam I LOVE IT SO MUCH THIS GAME IS JUST PERFECT, i couldn't stop blushing he is adorable, i love you my little Grim. Now im regretting of finishing so fast.
I don’t know if the game is only compatible with certain computer types or something because every time I try to play it won’t display the customization screen properly and It would like freeze. The application won’t even close unless I restart my computer, but I had played the demo with no problem, so I have no idea what’s going on 😭
Usually something like this is a computer based issue but its interesting you played the demo! You can try pressing shift + g in game and changing the renderer or updating your drivers. You can also try a clean reinstall or grabbing the game over from Steam.
when you're talking to Grim/Casper around day 4 or so, he says that his soul is tainted with the light when he spends too much time in the mortal world. and that if his soul has too much light or taint, he would die.
BUT AT THE END OF THE GAME, HE STARTS LIVING WITH YOU??? IN THE MORTAL WORLD???? UM...
and even though mc's soul neutralizes the effect or whatever, won't she be giving away her soul as they're living together??? the ending isn't happy anymore y'all 😭
This game absolutely consumed my life for 2 days straight. I don't really have anything to add that wasn't already said, but I just had to let you know how much I enjoyed this game and happily paid for the DLC within the first 2 minutes of playtime. I would LOVE to see more DLC, especially if there was some R18 content involved, but more than anything I just want to spend more time with Grim: the most literal personification of the word 'babygirl' I have ever had the privilege to witness~
I'm gonna be honest, knowing my picky ass, I had low expectations for this game at face-value. Usually, heavily anime style based games not only have little to none POC rep―but have dialogue that I'm just... not a personal fan of. Wattpad worthy.
I was expecting to go into this visual novel knowing you can style your avatar with black skin (judging by the video on the homepage), but have no curly/coily hairstyles. Or just one.
That was my first mistake. You don't know the amount of surprise and sheer happiness I felt at seeing some actual curly/coily hairstyle options!
My second mistake was the expectation on dialogue. Instead of cringing at writing that my thirteen year old self would've wrote―I got dialogue that had me grinning and laughing throughout my entire first gameplay.
I adored bullying messing with Grim. While I was a little careful not to genuinely upset him, I teased him to hell and back (look, Grim, I'm not ready to be a mother and never want to be. But that soul-baby joke will live on).
The MC is fucking hilarious. Sarcastic and witty without seeming... edgy? Is that the right word? Please tell me you know what I'm talking about. Either way, that was done super well too.
And the chemistry between them and Grim becomes obviously strong. In fact, I'd even say you can tell they click―that their personalities match really well―at first meeting.
I was a little turned-off by the whole "I strive to maim mortals you're attracted to" at first, but I actually laughed and enjoyed that dialogue there as well. I've never been a fan of the "possessive" trope, but it was done super well in this visual novel, in my opinion. Awesome job!
In short, you got a new fan of your game, and I might end up buying the DLC. I know that I definitely strive to get that plush toy, though.
I will get that plush.
Okay, but seriously: I am boo, boo the fool, for my assumptions first downloading the game. I'd say what I love even most is you can tell how much fun you had writing the dialogue, and how much love and care you put into the game in general.
By the way, I got the "Mine" ending on my first playthrough! Haven't tried to get the rest yet, but we'll see.
this game was awesome, had me invested the whole time and lowkey scared to make choices in fear of upsetting 'Grim' in the best way possible, lol. took me 3-ish hours to get only 1 ending, so the estimated play-time was a little off, but it happens :) just glad i had the time to fully play through at least one ending in a single sitting. game was paced well, kept me interested, and the art is beyond amazing for a free game. 10/10
also loved the sarcastic dialogue and the inclusive gender/pronouns character customisation. wish more games were able to do this :) the flowers made me smile
