| A Date with Death (Visual Novel) | comment |
You are a seemingly normal human who lives in a downtown apartment with your pet. Well, normal except for one thing: for whatever reason, disaster always seems to occur wherever you go, yet you always come out unscathed. However, everything changes when a mysterious chatting application appears on your laptop computer one day, along with messages from an unknown sender claiming to be a Grim Reaper who has come to take your soul. You are skeptical of his claims, leading you to propose a wager: he has seven days to claim your soul, or else you would get to have his. One thing that is for certain is that this self-proclaimed reaper is very easy to fluster, and thus a teasing courtship between the two of you ensues.A Date With Death is a visual novel developed by Two And A Half Studios that released on December 7th, 2023 on itch.io and Steam. The base game is available for free on both platforms, with purchasable DLC that gives you more character customization options, more dialogue options, and an additional ending. During The Storyteller's Fest 2024, Two and a Half Studios announced an additional DLC pack called A Date With Death: Beyond The Bet that will add alternative versions of Days 6 & 7 as well as three additional days' worth of story and two new endings. | |

Sliding Scale of Free Will vs. Fate | |
| A Date with Death (Visual Novel) / int_129074bf | comment |
Sliding Scale of Free Will vs. Fate: Normally, humans always die at a predetermined time. However, the player character has been able to avoid death since childhood, according to their diary entries. Depending on the route you choose, this is because the player character is either The Embodiment of Life or a new class of Reaper. Either way, you're not fully human. | |

| A Date with Death (Visual Novel) / int_3d226e02 | comment |
Pineapple Ruins Pizza: On Night 4, you play a game of "twenty questions", with one of them being your opinion of pineapple on pizza. Grim likes it; whether you agree with him or not depends on which option you pick. | |

Beta Couple: The only other characters we hear from is the player character's next door neighbor and their partner. If you eavesdrop on them all seven days, you learn that your neighbor's partner is also a grim reaper, and they're going through another loop in their Reincarnation Romance. | |

Cannot Tell a Lie: As a Reaper, Grim is completely incapable of lying. As he interacts with you, he gets better at half-truths and verbal dodging. | |

| A Date with Death (Visual Novel) / int_8aaa6f4f | comment |
Character Customization: You can customize your player character's name, physical appearance, gender identity, pronouns, preferred terms of endearment, and favorite animalnote which is what decides what kind of pet you have. You can even write a short bio for your character, if you so choose. Later on, you can mention what you do for a living during a conversation with Grim. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| A Date with Death (Visual Novel) / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: The plant that you water each day ends up flowering over the span of a week, and your pet, after briefly getting ill, makes an immediate recovery after spending some time with you. These, along with your seeming immunity to death, are signs that you are an embodiment of Life itself. | |

Land Down Under: If you guess that Grim resides in Australia, he suggests the idea of sending you there so that the native wildlife could do his job for him. Of course, seeing how Two and a Half Studios is based in Australia, this is the writing team poking fun at their own home country. | |
