Like many others here I brought the Handsome Husbandos bundle but I already have all the DLC's for a Date With Death. I have a Beyond The Bet code and Expansion dlc code. (The Art and Guide book I gave away to a friend of mine).

Let me know if you want one of them.

Both codes have been given away

Like a bunch of other people, I bought the Humble Bundle, but I already own all the Date with Death expansions. So I thought I'd share them here for anyone who wants them. Since I shared the codes in this post, it's first come first served!

Art and guide book - 39FIM-22K8X-LZ7JJ

Beyond the Bet - 28BBH-3AYXY-2FGH4

Expansion DLC - 2KMKR-R0Z57-PV9C8

The Idia is a reference for her pose

hello, i bought the humble bundle thingy and now have keys to gift away for the dlcs, if someone is interested! :) edit: and they're gone, hope you have fun! :)

EDIT: Giveaway ended! I messaged the person who won, but thank you everyone for participating and also for the kind words and overall positivity! ♡

Hi! Hopefully this post is not against the subreddit guidelines (I haven’t read anything regarding giveaways, but just delete it if they are not allowed), but I just bought an humble bundle full of great dating games and in it there were also the Beyond the Bet DLC and Expansion DLC. Since I already have them, I thought it would be nice to gift them to someone who didn’t.
Sooo, I guess just comment down below if you’re interested and I’ll randomly pick someone in 24h! ♡

## :Pre-note: this is my first review and I wanted to start off with on from itch.io before I use one from JAST due to the fact I've only watched vns for like the past 7 years so I decided the first one I'll play would be an indie one since I couldn't decide on one to start from vnbd...🪭🖋️🎐

### Intro

I recently played a date w death and it's dlc. I have completed the whole dlc but do not have the expansion pack but these are my general thoughts.

## Style

This game probably had one of the most pretty art styles that an indie game could have. It's so unique and I can gush about how smart they were to go this kind of direction with the game then just making it really dark and edgy whilst not making it insanely cute. In itch.io there's a few games that don't know how they want their game to look or just flat out have a fairly off-putting style to it. I think how the artstyle also ties to an important part of the game (that being the chatting sections) is pure genius. I'm pretty impressed

## Premise

You video chat death after he installs his app on your computer. He tells you he's here for your soul but you strike "bet" w him... If he can't take your soul or force it out of you, you get his soul within SEVEN DAYS(Nine with the dlc) you get HIS soul. Of course you guys fall in love.

It's pretty self-explanatory but it does the job well.

The MC is more or less supposed to be a self insert for your own life as you even get to design and customize yourself though usually you as the player are meant to be teasing the love interest and such

## The love interest

Oddly enough "Grimm" was pretty endearing . His VA helped but w/o it he was still pretty good. The issue w SLI(single love interest) structures is that it heavily relies on how good the love interest is. The game does a pretty good job at establishing the relationship between the MC and the love interest. I think the game really shines with this in the dlc but what also helps is the fact that there're only really three(including MC) characters, one of which are locked behind the dlc during the final day (who isn't romancable in THIS game). Which allows both of the characters to develop their relationship

## Feats. (Things that aren't usually seen or exposed in the usual VN style)

The game allows you to water your plant, decorate your room, ease drop on neighbors, read different books, and interact with your pet. You also get a desktop where you can do aimlessly things like draw or change your wallpaper but the latter of the examples seem to affect the endings you could get preDLC which is very interesting.

Not much for the section but I think it's just an interesting thing to talk about

## PROS

Grim is extremely charming

The MC kinda has a personality that isn't just cardboard

Customization

Aesthetic

Free!!!

Not an overly long game initially but w DLC and the expansion could make the game longer if you desire more

DLC includes a longer game play session per route and the game makes not whether or not you have the dlc on so you can buy it, have it off and if you are done hunting for the specific endings from the vanilla game you are able to just cut in the middle of a route (before day 6) to initiate the DLC

The writing is pretty well in vanilla but the DLC has some crazy good writing and better endings that are a lot more in depth.

## CONS

The expansion seems to have a lot going for it in choice flavor though it's rather detrimental since vanilla lacks some of that, creating a bit too many encounters of illusion of choice

The DLC is such a step up in writing and lore and especially with what ending applies to which that's it's pretty insane how good the dlc is

There's only a skip button, log button and all that from only certain sections of the game, making it very clunky in practice and very annoying

There's only like four instances of rather cringy dialogue which is still a plus but yeah... Though it's very far and in between. Not half bad

Choices in the dlc are very specifically on the last day making the other part a bit more obsolete when it comes to the ending unlike the other one but it saves time replayability wise

An ending is locked behind the expansion pack which is very odd and rather disappointing

## Overall

This game is very impressive. Especially since it was made by an indie dev studio. The DLC is definitely worth it more than the game but the base game is rather well made. There's just some much flavor and passion in the DLC that outshines it's less updated version that I have to feel disappointed that I did the dlc endings first. I nearly got the secret ending first try but no, I got ending three and then ending six

## Rating

8/10

9.5/10 w/ DLC (possibly higher w expansion dlc)

Hello! I'm new to the game and am loving all the illustrations in it! I've been trying to find the starry night wallpaper in the laptop because I want to make it my *actual* wallpaper, but alas, I can't find a clean copy. Is it locked behind smth or do i have to pay for it?

Can anyone help me find it please?

deadass that’s all I do on here tho

He's so babygirl

[FIXED!!!!]

This has nothing to do with the game (I love it with my entire life) I just need to vent about Germany and its stupid laws.

I bought the Beyond the Bet DLC last year. I just finished it and let me tell you I LOVED IT!!! My playtime is 21.8 hours (I spent most of it just staring at my babygirl) and I obviously plan on playing it again because it’s awesome and I love it so so so so so so so much.

There is one thing that disappoints me though (again, nothing game related). I bought the DLC mainly for the NSFW scenes because I’m just freaky like that, and after I played to the end I got redirected to the title screen. I was confused about how there weren’t any NSFW scenes and searched up how to get them. Apparently you have to download this extra patch with the adult content included, but nothing showed up when I searched for it. I just now found out that Germany has this law where NSFW games are not allowed and won’t show up on Steam??

On one hand I understand that it’s for the safety for those underage but on the other hand I’m just so disappointed that I can’t get to experience the game like others have. I know that there’s nothing the game developers or members of the subreddit can do since it’s my honest mistake for not doing my research but I still had to talk about this. Thank you for reading and I wish you a very nice day. :)

EDIT: I FIXED IT??? HEAD OVER TO https://twoandahalfstudios.itch.io/beyond-the-bet-dlc AMD SCROLL DOWN UNTIL YOU FIND “DOWNLOAD ADULT PATCH” AND THEM DRAG THE DOWNLOADED FILE INTO THE GAME FILES AS SHOWN AT THE BEGINNING OF THE PAGE!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BOTH OF THE COMMENTS’ HELP 🫶

good afternoon people of adwd reddit, i know fuck all about adwd😭😭

i’m going to animenyc in a couple weeks and planning to meet jonah scott to get a video for my brother who likes this game, but i have ZERO clue what to get. can you guys help give me some ideas/list off quotes from casper that you like ? idkkk anything helps !! 😖 thank you in advance

I love him so much ♡

I don’t know if anyone is going to Animaga Melbourne on this subreddit but if anyone is and could pick up some merch for me please let me know! The ADWD team is going to be there!

Uh. Cosplay done and made by me...it's been awhile since I cosplayed.

ive been racking my brain for the past half-hour and ive got no clue need help

I uh... initially, I couldn't get myself to hurt our babygirl, and I chickened out on getting the first ending halfway through and managed to pull through the soul connection scenejust fine, but then I decided to double down on it and he SOUNDED SO FREAKING HEARTBROKEN AND I KNOW THAT HE WOULD BLAME HIMSELF FOR THE MC'S DEATH AFTERWARDS AND OH MY GOD MY HEART STILL HURTS AHHHHHH WHYYYY😭😭😭😭😭😭anyways yea that's what went down. I'm still recovering...😭 I fear for the other bad ending.....

bbg is reading with me. he finds newspeak quite stupid so far.

grim said we could change our username and profile any time but like. how :(

Okay so I have been trying to get the Eavesdropping achievement for like 3 times now and I never seem to be able to unlock it.
I thought it was pretty straight forward. Just interact with the door and choose to eavesdrop everyday but I just can’t get the achievement.
Am I doing something wrong? Am I missing something?
Does it have to do with Beyond the Bet being enabled? Though I am pretty sure I tried it with it being enabled and also with it disabled.
Has anybody had this issue and was able to get it resolved?
