A Date With Death
A short, wordplay-themed visual novel made for the 6th Annual Spooktober Game Jam! You play as a "companion for hire" who becomes a 'dating coach' for a very special client. Will you have a "date" with Death or a date with death?
Important Notes
- It does NOT take long to load, please CLICK the loading screen to skip to title - I've checked it over a lot and for some reason (only on browser it 'pauses' on the loading screen longer than needed before title drop (it does not do this in the program - chalk it up to tyrano being weird, old, and buggy) - assests are likely loaded within seconds so just click/press to tell it hurry along.
- Adjust your volume during play - tyrano is buggy where the sounds are near muted unless you select options in the config screen (only on exported files) - which as much as i tried to code it in - cant funtion on the menu screen.
- We'll tighten up the story, words, grammar, for the final
- Status: More of a 'demo-trailer'
- Quit Functionality: The quit button doesn't work in browsers - it's there as a code placeholder for the full game downloadable.
- Content Warning: While it starts off with a more depressed vibe, it remains safe for all audiences—nothing M for Mature.

Lastly
Thanks to Danni's persuasion, we pivoted our studies to try and fit in a Jam together! The three main members of RGB Team, on borrowed time was able to produce this. 90 percent of this project, I made in 3d (even the characters have a 3d base) and we drew over most parts in 2d for style - the final will be in 3d with proper textures.
We’re a small new team that's been working together since the dawn of time, so we just became a group; the RGB Fusion Mix Team.
Credits and tools used can be found in the game’s "Credits" tab.
The final version will be downloadable and made in a different engine - this is trailer/demo. There is no way the final game will run on tyrano, lol.
Thank you for checking out A Date With Death ~!

Excuse the lack of a complete profile page at the moment.
I’m still in the process of updating it and working on getting everything polished. BEAR with the ugliness for a bit. 😅

Rachel is like the group's Kirumi (from Danganronpa) with that odd "mom" vibe, except she's a hard-working angel. Find our red member here:

DTA doesn't have an account – we picked him up off the street! He helped with voice acting for several characters, including Death and Allen. It was especially fun making him "meow" into the mic over and over. We've got more voice clips of Allen, but for the trailer/demo, I only used the meows. Allen might just stick to meowing in the final version... which means we’ll get DTA back to record even more!
If you liked his voice acting, let us know, and we'll pass your feedback along~
