A Date with Death
Release date (Windows, Mac OS, Linux, Steam)
English: December 7th, 2023
"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."
This is a free game by Two and a Half Studios! You can get it from itch.io here or from Steam here. There is also an optional DLC for purchase which includes additional features.

Past story - Chapter 1 (Cyrus)
— The brothers of bygone days—
Cyrus: …
In the empty room, the only sound echoing was that of me sharpening my sword.
Eventually, I sensed someone approaching and put down my whetstone.
Cyrus: —— thank you for your hard work, commander.
Alex: Oh, sorry for bothering you. Please continue what you were doing.
Cyrus: No, I was just about to finish.
Alex: As always, it remains a wonderful sword.
Alex: Even though you’ve been using it for so long, its fierce glow only grows stronger rather than fading away.
Cyrus: …yes. It’s a very dear sword I inherited from my father.
Cyrus: Since the last battle was intense, I’m taking care of it (TN: as in, performing the maintenance).
Alex: …..there’s plenty of blacksmiths who would feel honoured to help you.
Cyrus: I will continue using this sword. This is… what I believe is my mission.
As I gazed at the freshly sharpened sword, memories of long ago came back to me.
The moment when I received this sword. The path that me and my “younger brother” have taken up until now——
(flashback begins)
I was born into a distinguished family in Alstria, one that has produced many excellent knights for generations.
Nevertheless, I was a quiet kid who liked books and art…
Even so, I received training in the art of the sword, following the family motto of “A knight is one who follows the will of the Dream King, protects the weak, and values peace”.
……together with my twin brother, Emilio.
Emilio: Hehe, I win again!
Cyrus: …..Yeah. I can’t win against you.
Emilio: You’re very kind, Cyrus. Aren’t you softening your blow when you’re about to strike?
Cyrus: I don’t mean to do that though…
Emilio’s talent as a knight blossomed early on.
As the older brother, I felt inferior to him, whose skills were improving rapidly.
More than that, as a child, I felt pure respect for him… I admired him.
Mother: Cyrus, Emilio, it’s time to study.
Emilio: Yess-
Emilio: …Was it history today? I guess I’m not very good at studying.
Emilio: But if there’s anything I don’t understand, I can just ask Cyrus to explain it to me later.
Cyrus: Just like I always ask you for help with the sword.
Emilio: Eheh, leave it to me.
Emilio: Hey, Cyrus. Let’s become strong knights together.
Cyrus: …Yeah.
Emilio: No one will be able to defeat us. You and I will defeat all our enemies.
Cyrus: If it’s you, you might even be able to do it alone though…
Emilio: I want it to be with you!
Emilio adored me, just like I did.
Our strict yet kind parents, and Emilio, my inseparable younger brother.
This happiness will continue forever, in this very same form— That is what I believed without any doubt as a child.
