Spoiler-free review for anyone interested:
Genuinely one of the most fun dating sims and visual novels I've ever played.
If you're playing as intended you'll probably reach the base good ending no matter what you choose, but the choices you do get to make have genuine impact in conversation. It's clear that the developers knew what they were doing in that regard.
The game gives you just the right amount of agency over your character. The MC never felt like a self-insert, more like a character I was roleplaying as. I found myself consistently asking what my character would do as opposed to what I would do.
The love interest (yes, I'm dancing around his name, finding out is part of the fun) is very refreshing and doesn't really fall into any archetype. Chatting with him is fun and it doesn't need to be any deeper than that. His sprites are also delightfully expressive.
The art! The art is so nice! My single pet peeve is the directionless lighting in the floating scene, other than that it's all so perfect. The stylized textboxes and windows should get some love as well.
All in all, A Date With Death was clearly made with lots of love and attention to detail. I'd definitely recommend it!
