So you've spent an unforgettable week with the Grim Reaper. You've laughed at his inability to understand modern slang, melted at his unexpected kindness, and maybe (just maybe) fallen head over heels for Death himself. But the story doesn't have to end on Day 7.
The developers at Two and a Half Studios have created two incredible DLC expansions that let you continue your journey with Grim — and trust me, you don't want to miss these.
Why Get the DLCs?
The base game of A Date with Death is 100% free, giving you all seven days of the main story with multiple endings. But if you've already binged through your first playthrough and found yourself wanting just a little more time with Grim (let's be honest, who didn't?), the DLCs are where the magic continues.
Think of it as giving yourself permission to extend the impossible — a relationship with Death that goes beyond the boundaries of time itself.
Expansion DLC - More Ways to Be Yourself
What It Adds
The Expansion DLC is the perfect way to enhance your experience without extending the story length dramatically. It's ideal if you want more personal expression and a taste of new content.
Character Customization Galore:
- 5 new hair front options
- 5 new hair back options
- 3 feminine outfits (with recolors)
- 4 masculine outfits (with recolors)
- 13 new accessories to personalize your look
This means your protagonist can look exactly how you envision them — whether that's a specific aesthetic, a mood, or just something that makes you smile every time you see them on screen.
Extra Story Content
The Expansion DLC also adds:
- Extra dialogue choices throughout all days (look for the ★ symbol!)
- New conversation branches with Grim
- One additional ending (including a brand new CG!)
The ★ symbol is your signal that there's a choice here that only exists in the Expansion DLC. These moments add delightful new dimensions to conversations you might have thought you knew inside-out.
Beyond the Bet DLC - Five Days of New Adventures
This is the big one. If the Expansion DLC is dessert, Beyond the Bet DLC is a full-course meal.
The Story Continues
After spending seven days with Grim, so many questions remain. Who really is the Grim Reaper? How did he come to exist in the first place? What happens when a human and Death actually... connect?
Beyond the Bet picks up with a new Day 6 and takes you all the way through Day 10. Five brand new days of chatting, calling, and connecting with the babygirl reaper you've come to love.
New Art from Fuyuure
The original game artist Fuyuure has created an entirely new set of CGs (Computer Graphics) for this expansion. These are the high-quality illustrations that punctuate key story moments, and they're absolutely stunning. If you've been admiring the art style in the base game, the Beyond the Bet DLC delivers even more of that visual magic.
Four New Endings
Without spoiling anything, these endings don't just extend the story — they expand it. You'll see different possibilities for your future (or not) with Grim. Some will make you smile. Some might make you cry. All of them will stay with you.
The DLC description promises "a mystery-solving, humorous, domestic package," and it delivers on all fronts. There's detective work, there are cozy moments, and there are conversations that will make you feel seen in ways you didn't expect from a game about Death.
Comparing the DLCs
| Feature | Expansion DLC | Beyond the Bet DLC |
|---|---|---|
| Days Added | 0 | 5 (Day 6-10) |
| New Endings | 1 | 4 |
| New CGs | 1 | Multiple from Fuyuure |
| Customization | Extensive | Base game only |
| Extra Choices | ★ throughout | Throughout new days |
| Price | Lower | Higher |
My recommendation: If you're on a budget, start with Beyond the Bet. The extended story is why most people want more DLC. But if you've already played through the extended content and want fresh ways to experience the original week, the Expansion DLC adds wonderful replayability.
(Of course, if you love the game as much as I do, get both. Support the developers who brought you this gem.)
Is It Worth It?
Absolutely.
A Date with Death already has a 4.9/5 rating on itch.io with over 5,000 reviews. The DLCs don't just add content — they add depth. They let you see different facets of Grim, explore new relationship dynamics, and understand the world better.
And honestly? If you've become attached to Grim (and let's be real, who hasn't?), five more days with him isn't just content — it's a gift.
Where to Get Them
You can find both DLCs on:
The main game remains free, so you can always start there and decide later if you want more.
Final Thoughts
There's something deeply special about a game that makes you care about Death. Not fear Death — care about him. The DLCs honor that emotional investment by giving you more of what you came for: genuine connection, hilarious moments, and a love story that transcends the boundary between life and death.
Whether you're a completionist who needs every ending, someone who just wants more time with Grim, or a player who wants to see all the customization options, these DLCs deliver.
Rating for both DLCs: 5/5 — Because some stories are worth extending forever.
