I am a straight man, this was not a game made for me and I am aware of that fact. I watched my girlfriend play it and that was the fun part for me, watching her give very loud reactions to it and the choices made to a virtual failman babygirl make me worry for my personal future.
The arts really good, musics good but I'd prefer more variety as it does start to loop very quickly. Writings funny and enjoyable, and it's free so if you are a person who you think this would appeal to, get it idiot, fuck that twinky man, go now! the steam page is right there!!!!
ALSO SLAY THE PRINCESS MENTIONED!!!!! THEY'RE BASED!!!!!

id give this 0 stars if i could. wrote a lengthy review on steam about how much i hated this game.
what prompted the review was the potential i had seen in the game pre-release and the potential i /SAW/ in the UI and more game dev related aspect of the game since the writing was so slimy it made me uncomfortable despite the game being sfw. it was also very cringe.

i don't really play dating sims that are just straight romance and not some insane subplot on the side (like hatoful boyfriend), but i did like this one for what it was! mostly the gender presentation options i appreciated. i hate being boxed into getting called MANLY and HANDSOME just because i'm playing as a male character, but i also don't exactly want to straight up be a girl...
i'm sad to report though that i'm not the target audience for this and probably will not be going back to it in order to get a different ending. i picked the responses that were most in character for what i'd say and even then the dialogue took me into places that i was just like "...ok" at pretty much. (which bums me out because i hate to leave him sad but oh well)
i'm not really into the "babygirl malewife" thing or the game's sense of humor in general outside of that trope, but if that's you then i'd probably recommend this i guess? he's pretty likeable and reminded me a lot of my real-life boyfriend.
actually i think that's my biggest issue, i just kept thinking about talking to my boyfriend the entire time and i have an unfortunate personality where i get really sour at the idea of talking to people other than him ... ... ... and that of course has nothing to do with the game and is just my problem
tl;dr: cute game, nice artwork, i wasn't the target audience but still had fun with it, it's free so you've nothing to lose

ok.... ok fine, i liked this game more than I thought I would've.
I'm not one to really enjoy graphic novel dating sims, but to my surprise I actually really liked Grim in the end. Currently got the 3rd Ending (LOOOOOVED IT), working on getting the others and etc achievements I missed.
(Grim is babygirl.)

Solid game with a hot guy for me to stare at for like 70% pretty big plus.
Death is a fun enough character to chat with, often times saying some of the most adorable shit cause he's just clueless most times, coupled with being able to play coy with him, the writing was fun. Visuals were also good, for a visual novel with like 3 main screens (lol), but even so it's still all drawn very well.
(Spoilers)
Only I do have one critique, that being the way that you get different endings, mini bad ends are eh, but nothing that sours the experience of the game. But the thing that decides the ending you getting being something so innocuous that I didn't even remember to do it every in game day.
Genuinely it did kind of make me think less of what is just a fun little game about romancing the grim reaper, seeing a bittersweet ending caused by needing to play with your pet and water your plant.
If I'd have anything to say to the developer I'd probably say that this way of navigating to an ending is kind, well, shit. Maybe have it be influenced with dialogue, or maybe make it so there are more actual routes to see, so that replaying the game just to water your plant and play with your pet isn't just the same stuff Ive already read.

This VN feels like it was specifically created to pander to me, literally almost everything about it is suited to my tastes it's insane. My only beef with it is that the writing was a tad repetitive but WHO CARES edgy grim reaper dude is sexy that's all I'm here for.
(also putting a preview of their NSFW patreon-exclsuive art of the sexy reaper guy as an unlockable in the game?? Two and a Half Studios you sly dog, you got me to look at your patreon....)

I went on an itch.io spree the other week so i played this for free. The art is really good but it lost me as soon as it turned more overtly romantic lol. I liked the mini games on the computer too. Honestly I think the problem is that I don't like dating sims that much guess if you like dating sims you will probably like this. What a good review this is. Nonetheless I would like to say that I thought the soul baby thing was funny

I didn’t have any expectations going in but omg I fell in luv, he’s such a cutie the plot was cute and his FREAKING PLUSHIE AND HIM CHANGING ICONS AND HIS STATUS UPDATES IN THE CHAT? I couldn’t possibly not set matching response statuses cause AWEEE, he’s my babygirl now, but also the character art style is so beautiful and the character customization options too, gorgeous 🫶
My main issues with this game come from the fact that the dialogue and humor just aren't to my taste so I don't feel that giving it a low rating based on those is very fair considering it's personal preference and doesn't have much to do with the quality of the game. I really loved all of the customization options and the art!!! Kind of hard to skip through dialogue because of all of the clicking you have to do so if you want to get all endings try to save strategically so u don't have to skip much
GUYS I LOVE GRIM,,, GUYS PLEASE <333 In all seriousness, it's visual novel that I highly recommend, and it will only take you a few hours to finish!! (If you are doing one route) Him and the MC's dynamic is super sweet, I love the customization options for the MC, plus the music and graphics are terrific! The laptop even has a bunch of nifty things on it! I have yet to do the DLC but this alone is great <3
