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.

The main story of A Date with Death will always be free, but if you'd like to support the game and get some extras, then you can purchase our two optional DLCs!

This DLC adds some small additional goodies to the free base game.

Hi! I just purchased and downloaded the Expansion DLC version on my MacNeo, but when I try to download it and open it in the game it won’t open and says I didn’t purchase it. Can anyone help me/ give me a tutorial on how to properly download and open the game file? Visuals would be appreciated if possible!
Hi there, there's details on the page on how to install it! You need to download the file from the page then manually drag and drop it into your game files.
This is the best game i have ever played, and i am not overexagerating. I have no words, just wow. Everyone should play this oml
Es posible que agreguen el idioma español en el futuro?
Hola!! Hay un parche para tenerlo en español 💖
Me lo oasasss porfa
Sabes como puedo conseguirlo?
I love tsunderes so this was right up my alley
How come I’ve only just got the chance to play this... THIS IS PEAK!!! I love that we can customise our characters, play games, and browse websites with different content inside... It’s so creative, oh my goodness... I absolutely love this. And I absolutely love Casper! u___u
The cute bit is the unique little adverts, as well as Casper’s chat where he says he’s commissioned an artist (good boy!) to draw him! GENIUS!!!
Por favor pónganlo para Android 🔍🔍🫶
Hiii! Do you know how to download this on Linux? I just set it up so I can play this game, but I can't figure out what to do past unzipping the file. I would love some help.
i got u fellow linux user! when you go to files right click the unzipped folder and right click the file (in the folder) that says Adatewithdeath.sh (the sh is importat!) and there should be an option to run as program! this is what you want to click on! if it isnt there then you should click properties (when you right click the file i mentioned) and click executable as program on. Enjoy gameplay!
omg this was amazing! thank u! so creative uwu
Could we pleasee get an Android version, I'd love to play <'3
hey my cousin plays this game (looks peak but I literally am broke and can’t get a computer to play the game)
Can u make for Android?

Jogo incrível, história envolvente, extremamente bem feito e detalhado. Parabéns a toda equipe, comprei um computador recentemente e esse jogo foi uma das motivações. Muito obrigada por essa obra prima, foi um prazer ela ser a estréia dessa nova fase na minha vida das visual novels <3

Puedes utilizar el emulador joiplay
I bought the expansion dlc and put it into the game folder, but when i actually open the game it says i don't have the dlc??? can someone help me please
this isn't really game related but I don't know where else to ask; does anyone know if the casper plushie is ever coming back in stock?
Hit the bring it back button on Makeship, it's possible!
casper is so cuteeee, the most adorable pookie grim reaper ever. actually funny cus that part which casper gave us flowers and was blushing and all i did infact,screenshot almost every single expression of his and then come to find that the gallery has updated images of him blushing and giving the flowers. HECK YEAH!
I really wanted to play it, it looks really cool😭 it's a shame I use Android and can't install it.
aw man, hope you get a chance to play it one day though! do you own a pc? cus I did play it on pc haha I don't own an android either.
You can do this by downloading WinLator to your phone; it creates an artificial PC for you, and you can learn the details by asking an AI.
Sameee, I screenshotted every CG not knowing there was an in-game gallery. A life saver.
HOW DO I PAUSE?
right click
Esse cara de cabelo branco é homem ou mulher?
é homem
Ata, obrigada!!
I LOVE MY BABYGIRL CASPER SM this game is peak asf i wish i could get the dlc
oookkk, buuuut, how do you unzip the file to play it???? im so stuck😭 i actually found something with FUN CHARACTER CUSTOMIZATIONNN
edit: ok, so, i figured it out, but apparently i dont got enough GPU, not sure what that is(i know im dumb) but it starts to lag and glitch a lot around the time when its words on a black screen. the part where its casually saying "who hasnt been in a tornado, hurricane, blah blah" something like that, talking about how that stuff happens on a regular basis(wich it doesnt lmao)
anyways, yeah....really bummed out...
You can try pressing shift + G in game and changing the renderer, then reopening the game, but unfortunately if your computer doesn't meet minimum specs then it may not work :(
i understand...another great game i wont be able to play because the universe literally hates me...but ill try thx! (i dont need to play to know its good!)
why cant i buy itttt :(
Completo cine este juego, me encanta T-T se nota que esta hecho con mucho cariño y trabajo
