A Date with Death - Beyond the Bet DLC
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
You've spent seven unforgettable days with the Grim Reaper—an ordinary(?) person like you, and a being who shouldn't even exist.
Throughout these seven days, you've laughed, you've cried, you've fallen in love... but so many mysteries still remain.
Who really is Casper, and how did he come to exist in the first place?
Dive even deeper into the world of A Date with Death with an all-new route. Starting with a fresh Day 6 and unfolding all the way through Day 10, this DLC brings you new conversations, stunning art, four new endings, and of course, the same beloved Grim Reaper.
About
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.
You can play the original, free to play game here:
When complications arrive and your bet needs to be extended, you'll spend five new days chatting (and maybe even going on dates?) with Casper.
Features
💀 Additional Content: Five brand new days of chatting and calling with your favorite babygirl reaper.
💀 Brand New Art: A host of brand new CGs from original game artist Fuyuure!
💀 New Endings: Four new endings that lead into your future (or not) with Grim.
How to install
To play Beyond the Bet, you must first download the free base game:
If you already had it downloaded before the release of Beyond the Bet, you MUST update your game files by redownloading the base game, too.
You CANNOT install this DLC using the itch.io app. You MUST download it from the webpage and manually put it into your game files. Please follow the install instructions closely.
WINDOWS:
1. Download Beyond the Bet.
2. Move/copy Beyond the Bet.rpa into the "game" folder of A Date with Death (free base game). If you've moved it to the correct place, it should be alongside archive.rpa.
MAC:
1. Download Beyond the Bet.
2. Move/copy Beyond the Bet.rpa into the "game" folder of A Date with Death (free base game). On Mac, you may need to right click on the A Date with Death launcher and click "view package contents". If you've moved it to the correct place, it should be alongside archive.rpa.
Adult Patch
This free patch adds optional adult scenes (2) and some NSFW dialogue to A Date with Death - Beyond the Bet.
Adding it to the free base game will not do anything. You must own Beyond the Bet to play these free scenes.
To install, simply drop the file alongside BeyondtheBet.rpa and archive.rpa (the same way you installed Beyond the Bet!)
How to play the new content
Beyond the Bet is best experienced after completing the main story at least once, as it builds upon the events from the original pathway.
There's a few ways to start Beyond the Bet. If you've already finished the game once:
1. Main Menu: Select ‘Start’ from the main menu, and you’ll be prompted with the option to jump directly to Beyond the Bet.
2. In-Game: Play through the game normally, and when you reach the end of Day 5, choose the options marked with a flower to branch into the Beyond the Bet storyline.
If you haven't finished the game yet, or you've lost your save files, then you can unlock Beyond the Bet by:
1. In-Game: Finish at least one original ending.
2. Settings: You can also toggle Beyond the Bet on in the settings menu at any time, instead of playing through the original game.

I don't know if you can answer this, but as I'm in Germany, the adult patch is unavailable to me on Steam. I assume the itch.io adult patch is incompatible with the Steam version? Do I have to get the game/DLC a second time to access the adult patch, this time via itch.io? (I honestly wouldn't mind it that much because I truly love adwd, but money is always tight.)
Edit: I could have just tried it before writing this comment, as I dropped the file from itch.io into my game folder from Steam and it shows up as installed. I'll test it out another time.
Yes, you can use the itch version with Steam, for future reference!
if only i could buy with apple pay (。·́︿·̀。)
I'm curious, I've been wanting to download the DLC for a while now, but I noticed on Steam it shows two separate DLC options, but on here it only shows the one? I was curious why that might be? as I try to avoid buying through Steam if I can avoid it, I don't like that if they delete a game I lose all access to it, vs on Itch, where once I download it I don't need to worry, but that second DLC on Steam has me confused?
There are two DLCs on itch, too!
oh! I could only see this one, unless I'm missing the second one? 🤔
Did the instruction on the BTB-DLC. The prompt isnt showing help.
Nevermind I just had to download the latest base game ver :P
Hi!! is this the same DLC available on steam? are there any other DLCs? im interested in acquiring the full game. thanksssssss
on the original date with death, can i have help on how to purchase the extra DLC?
for the expansion dlc you'll have to download the file first just like any other itch.io game, then unzip/extract the files like any other game, but then go into the unzipped file itself, not the original game file so that you can see the dlc.rpa file. then while having this open, open up the original unzipped base game files until you see the game folder inside of it. navigate back to where you found dlc.rpa and drag that specific file (not the full folder) into the game folder inside of the unzipped base game files.
i hope this helps, i can take screenshots and stuff and circle things if you're still confused :)
thank you!!
HELLO! I'm having a problem with the 8th day. I can't do anything! I can't access the chat, and several options are disabled :(
If you can give some more details and screenshots, I can take a look for you!
ITS BROKEN FOR ME ON DAY 8 TWT
WHAT DO I DO? I CANT GO TO THE CHAT
Hi! Were you able to fix it? I have the same problem!
IM ALSO POOR:( ALSO I CANT SHOW THESE FOLDS TO ANYONE OR IM DEAD\>[]/
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH IM POOR... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
fuck this is so real rn
Hi there! I decided to play the game and I was trying to find the adult patch, but I couldn't find the patch for the itch.io build. Would I need to use Steam for this?
Thanks!
oops I actually can't read, it was at the bottom of the page LMAO.
sto cercando di comprare il dlc ma appena metto i dati per pagare appare una schermata con scritto cosa sto comprando ma non ricevo ne il gioco ne i soldi vengono pres
Hello! I've read the install instructions here many times to make sure the adult patch would be included with the DLC. I noticed there are a few similar-looking games on your page, like A Date with Death - Expansion DLC and Beyond the Bet, and I got a little confused about which one is the correct DLC. I want to make sure I'm getting the right one before buying.
Also, I really appreciate the free adult patch, but I'm still new to Steam (I’ve only used it twice), so I’m not sure how to find or install the adult patch there. Is it included when I buy the DLC on Steam, or do I still need to download it from itch.io?
Sorry if my English isn't perfect—it's not my first language.
The adult patch is never included, it's an optional add-on. To use the adult patch, you must also own Beyond the Bet, and then install it separately.

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it!
hi my 14 year old wants to play the game but i'm wondering if the DLC is safe for her to play if i uninstall the adult patch? (steam user BTW) i really love this game and would love to share the game with her!
Hi there, yes just uninstall the adult DLC and you should be good!
Thank you so much!! 😊
Love the DLC! I've been enjoying it immensely so far, but I was just wondering.. This might be a silly question, but is there a way to access the 'Thank you' notice that you get after downloading the DLC? 😭 I accidentally clicked out of it and didn't get to read it (only saw the "Thank you for downloading DLC" or smth like that). I know it may not seem like much, but I wanted to fully appreciate the game to its fullest and read the creator's note. I haven't been able to see any pictures up online who have the 'Thank you' notice, so I was hoping there was a place to access it somewhere :')
Hope someone can help or post a screenshot of it! <3
This may be late but here you go, if this is what you were asking for....
Hi, just here to say thank you for making the DLC, it was so worth it and adorable, the MC was hilarious and Casper is so adorable.
Seeing more content of them interacting was probably one of my best time reading visual novel. So sincerely thank you <3
Hello, I already purchased the dlc in steam. How to play it tho? Sorry it's my first time to buy a game through that app :)
You install it through Steam. There's information on this page about how to get to the new content.
Hi I would like to offer to translate your game into Russian or Ukrainian. I'm sure it will expand the recognizability of the game
Hii, just asking does this dlc also have the extra dialogue and character customisation options as the other expansion dlc? Or must i purchase both separately? Im sorry if this question has already been asked im a little slow when it comes to these things 😭😭
They are separate DLCs that add different things. Please refer to the game pages to read what is included in each.
okay, thank youuu
if i have a male mc, do i get to choose if i can be top or bottom during the nsfw scenes? or is it just fixed
You can chose if you want to top or bottom regardless of your gender!
okay thank you!!!!! edit: Just asking, is there like a choice you can make somewhere?
just play the game until the nsfw moments, it let's you decide there.
got it!
I wonder if i can download this on Samsung or any phones? If it isnt avaliable thats fine im just curious bc i dont have pc
U can try using Joiplay, that's what I do
i don't have access to the steam key. it says that there are none available
That's correct, you'll have to buy on Steam to get a Steam key.
So, I'm struggling a little with all this. I've bought and downloaded "beyond the bet" and I'm still not sure if I've managed to drag the rpa into the "game" folder (I'm using a Mac), I have no clue where to find the NSFW package for the life of me (is it included?) and I don't quite understand the instructions on how to download this hehe... can anyone help? :D
It's at the bottom of the page to download, the same as Beyond the Bet.
can someone help (T-T)
since i can't access/play when i downloaded at here can i get refund?
You need to move it out of your downloads folder, and perhaps reinstall both the base game and the DLC. If you can't get it to work you need to contact itchio for a refund.
It also looks like you may not have unzipped your game files? If so, that is required, so please do that.
i did unzipped the game files
yeah i already do that and it still the sam
i bought the beyond the bet dlc on steam but is there a way to add the nsfw patch to the game if i bought the dlc on steam and not here?
You can install the NSFW patch directly from Steam. If you're in a blocked country, just follow the install instructions here.
i have a date with death on steam how do i acess the nsfw protion i bought all the dlc plus the arbook and guidebook as well
Did you install the NSFW patch
I did do I drag it to the files where the game is located?
Yes just follow the install instructions
hi ! i just bought the DLC yesterday but i encounter some problem here... i swear it was normal yesterday when i was playing it but when i open it up this morning the game glitch on the character customization. is there any way to fix this issue? i hope this reach out the developer
i bought the game on steam
It looks like your computer is not compatible with the games renderer. You can try pressing shift + G in game and changing it, then restarting the game. Otherwise try redownloading/validating the files.
Changed the game renderer.. it works normally now , tqsm!
Do i need to pay again if i already about the DLC on steam?
No, you don't have to pay again on itch to play it on Steam.
Can I still get the NSFW patch if I got the game and DLC from steam?
You would download the NSFW patch on steam and not here^^
im a lil confused on this part, because im not sure where i can find the nsfw patch on steam
Im so confused, no matter what I do my file just says, "beyond-the-bet-dlc" with no ".rpa" and its not working uggh I'm so lost, I'm pretty sure I've followed all the instructions correctly? Idk what I'm doing wrong but I think its whatever way I am downloading it? I already bought it and sucks I cant figure out what I'm doing
It sounds like you're downloading from the app instead of the webpage.
Oh crud yea, how do I get there-?? sorry im slow
Edit: Oh my god I finally goy=t it im so happy mb sorry for boythering u aaaaaa
plz give me a tut i cant do it cuz im also slowww
Basically just look this game up on google- not on itch.io, thats where I was messing up at least. Bc I couldnt get my file to say the ".rpa" until I downloaded it from there, not too sure where yours might be messing up from though. Youll need to login into ur account in the browser though btw if you have already bought the game on itch
thank you so muchhh
Do you have an option to turn Beyond the Bet on/off in the top corner of the settings screen? If not, delete all files and redownload everything, as it looks like some of your files are out of date.
Can someone pleasee help me every time I try and download it keeps saying No manager installer unknown (someone please help me)
You need to follow the install instructions, and not use the itch.io client.
I dunno what im doing wrong, I just brought the dlc... I try to follow the instructions but it just dont let me download it (English is not my first language) PLEASE HEELPP
I move the folder"beyong-the-bet-dlc" in the folder name "game" that was in the "ADateWithDeath-2.0pc"
Download>Game>ADareWithDeat>game ....WHAT I HAVE TO DO /Tears
How do I know the DLC installed correctly? Do I have to play the whole game again? Please, I need help. This is my first time doing this.
You need to follow the install instructions. beyondthebet.rpa needs to be in the same folder as archive.rpa, not inside of another folder.
It is in the same folder of archive.rpa, but it doesnt do anything. beyondthebet is supposed to be empty...?
No, that is not an .rpa file. You need to go to the the DLC page, scroll down and download the rpa file from there, and then just drop it into the folder.
I did it! THANK U SO MUCH.. im so excited, thank u for the help again and sorry for the trouble :(
how do i use the dlc clothes? it keeps telling me i need to buy it but off steam
Do you have the expansion DLC? There's no clothes in Beyond the Bet.
Hello! So I still can't manage to get the nsfw scenes and I've done everything the instructions have told me, I saw another person's screenshot and they had a file named "NSFW.rpa" and I don't have it, how do I get it? (I'm on Mac and I downloaded the game on itch.io)
You won't get any NSFW scenes without having the NSFW patch. It is free and on this page, you only need to scroll down to the download section. Please read the DLC page more if you're confused.
It was so worth it and not having seen any spoilers prior to playing this was SO SO refreshing!! The suspense was so good! It adds so much to the game and I LOVE LOVE LOVEEEE THE LORE AND STORYLINE. The additional dialogues was too sweet too.
Thank you for the great game! I am VERY critical when it comes to storyline but Beyond The Bet addition makes the story so very perfect. Maybe I'm overjoyed rn because I got the best ending for my first run.
Usually I opt for visual novels that has a yandere as its main character/love interest, so this is refreshing to me.
(SPOILER!!)------------------
GOD I thought Casper was done for when the chat was hacked. MY HEART DROPPED SO LOW IT WAS PRACTICALLY UNDERGROUND.
Hello! I've been trying to use the DLC but I'm not sure if I'm doing it right because when I want to use the DLC for the base game it connects me to steam, but I already purchased here
Hi there, you just download and drop it into the base game folder.
hello!! sorry for asking such a repetitive question but i followed all the instructions for downloading the DLC on MAC but no matter what i do, it just isn't working for me. I don't know if it's cause i dowloaded the bundle or whatnot but it just doesn't seem to work for me.
does this seem right? i feel so stupid, like im missing something here T-T
Your screenshot doesn't show the Beyond the Bet DLC in the folder.
ah yeah i just realised that. thank you for pointing that out🙏
