A Date with Death All Endings Guide: How to Get Every Ending

Meta Description: Need help unlocking all outcomes in ADWD? Read our A Date with Death endings guide to get the Good (Wedding) Ending, Normal Ending, and Bad Ending.

Introduction

In the supernatural romance visual novel A Date with Death (ADWD), your choices over a seven-day period determine the ultimate fate of your soul—and your relationship with the dramatic Grim Reaper, Casper.

The base game features three primary endings. Achieving the coveted "Good Ending" (often referred to by the community as the A Date with Death wedding ending) requires specific dialogue choices and a high trust level.

Below is our comprehensive A Date with Death all endings guide to help you navigate every pathway.

1. Overview of the Three Base Game Endings

Before diving into the choices, here is a quick summary of the outcomes you can trigger on Day 7:

The Good Ending (The "Soul Connection" / "Wedding" Ending): Casper forfeits the bet, refuses to take your soul, and chooses to stay by your side in the mortal realm.
The Normal Ending: You survive the bet, but Casper is forced to return to the Underworld. You are left with memories of your week together, hoping to meet again.
The Bad Ending (Game Over): You fail to build a sufficient emotional bond with Casper, resulting in him taking your soul back to the Underworld, ending your mortal life.

2. How to Get the Good Ending (The "Wedding" Ending)

To secure the Good Ending, you must consistently choose options that build trust, encourage Casper to express his feelings, and highlight your unique "touch of life."

Key Walkthrough Choices:

Be Welcoming: Do not immediately reject Casper on Day 1. Accept his presence and participate in his dramatic banter.
Tease Him Gently: When Casper becomes flustered or blushes, ask direct questions. Since reapers cannot lie, this forces him to show his true feelings.
Physical Touch: Whenever given the option to touch Casper (e.g., holding hands, touching his cold face), do so. This triggers his physical reaction to your soul's warmth.
Show Mutual Care: Express concern about his past, his mentor (Reaper 5012), and his former apprentice (Ellias).
Day 7 Final Choices:
- Choose to stay with Casper.
- Do not surrender your soul willingly out of despair; instead, demand that he stays with you.
- Refuse the standard Underworld contract.

3. How to Unlock the Normal and Bad Endings

If you want to experience all aspects of the story, you can easily trigger the alternative endings by adjusting your behavior toward Casper.

The Normal Ending Walkthrough:

To get the Normal Ending, maintain a friendly relationship with Casper but avoid highly romantic or physically intimate choices.

Keep your conversations strictly casual.
Avoid holding his hand or touching his face when the options appear.
On Day 7, accept the reality of his departure without fighting to keep him in the human world.

The Bad Ending Walkthrough:

The Bad Ending is triggered by keeping Casper at a distance and actively failing the trust check.

Be hostile or completely indifferent to Casper throughout the week.
Refuse to share details about yourself.
Avoid learning about his past.
On Day 7, fail to establish a soul connection, leading Casper to carry out his duty to reap your soul.

4. Unlocking the Post-Game Content

Once you successfully complete the Good Ending, you will unlock extra dialogue choices and scene options for future playthroughs. If you want to expand the story even further—including physical wedding scenes and extra epilogue choices—you will need to explore the expansion DLC.
