A Date With Death Part 1 – Flirting With the Grim Reaper Blind Playthrough

A Date With Death originally streamed on 10th February 2026 – We met the Grim Reaper, tried to delete his app, and immediately started flirting instead of surviving.

A Date With Death – Day 1

I tried to delete the Grim Reaper like malware. It didn’t work.

I went into this completely blind.

No blurb.
No reviews.
No prep.

Just vibes.

And the very firm belief that if we were going to meet Death, I was going to flirt with him.

Character Creation: Red Hair, Poor Decisions

Immediately I’m given:

• Unkillable protagonist lore
• An aura reading
• A suspiciously cosy bedroom
• And the opportunity to design my entire environment

This game does something clever.

You don’t just customise your character.
You customise the room.
The music.
The aesthetic.
Your pronouns.
Your favourite animal (dog supremacy).

It feels like you’re building a self before Death shows up to claim it.

Which is either poetic.

Or foreshadowing.

The Malware Phase

Laptop dings.

Strange app appears.

I do what any rational adult does.

“I’m more of a delete person.”

Delete.

It comes back.

Delete again.

It comes back.

At this point Tel is calmly watching me antagonise what may or may not be:

• a virus
• a scammer
• or the literal Grim Reaper

Which is when he types:

“Foolish mortal.”

And I immediately decide the correct strategy is:

Stranger danger + aggressive flirting.

The Grim Reaper Is Not Used To This

He:

• threatens to reap my soul
• insists he is not a roleplay account
• becomes increasingly flustered

I:

• call him cute
• question whether he’s a scam
• compare him to Instagram DM fraud attempts
• nickname him Steve

He updates his status to:

“Mortals are stupid.”

And honestly?
Fair.

Three Dots: A Love Story

At one point Tel says:

“You are very good at getting three dots.”

Which is possibly the most accurate description of my personality I’ve ever heard.

If there is a way to emotionally destabilise a mythological entity through mild chaos, I will find it.

The Wordle Incident

At some point the game gently introduces a Wordle-style puzzle.

Tel:

“You guess a word.”

Me:

closes it three times
attempts to type individual letters
refuses to engage

Tel:

“I’m not explaining Wordle to you.”

And that’s when I knew this was going to be a long series. The wiser choice is to just not play the mini games – if the reaper doesn’t get me Tel will!

Is It Good?

Yes.

Genuinely yes.

The writing is sharp.
Death has personality.
The dynamic changes depending on how you treat him.
There’s blush sprites.
There’s sarcasm.
There’s status updates.

It’s not just a visual novel.
It feels reactive.

And I may have already absolutely ruined whatever “normal” route exists.

Final Thoughts (Session 1)

I tried to delete Death.
He called me naive.
I called him Steve.
He blushed.

And somehow, I survived.

Again.

We’ll see how long that lasts.

Next stream:
We continue emotionally confusing the Grim Reaper.
