A Date with Death DLC & Route Guide
Compare the A Date with Death Expansion DLC and Beyond the Bet, learn how to start each route and avoid locking yourself out of base-game endings.
Expansion and Beyond the Bet are different
| Content | What it adds | Ending access | Start point |
|---|---|---|---|
| Base game | Seven-day main story | 1, 2, 3 and 5 | New game |
| Expansion DLC | Customization and extra dialogue | 4 — Duo | Marked choices inside the original route |
| Beyond the Bet | Five new days and a new storyline | 6–9 | New Day 6 via flower choice or post-clear jump |
How to access Beyond the Bet
- Complete at least one original ending for the intended story order.
- Choose Start from the main menu and accept the Beyond the Bet jump, or play normally.
- During a normal run, choose the flower-marked option at the end of Day 5.
- If saves were lost, the official instructions also allow enabling Beyond the Bet in Settings.
Common mistake: selecting the flower route while attempting Rings, Mine or Duo. That choice starts the separate Beyond the Bet story, so reload the pre-branch save.
What the DLC changes
Beyond the Bet starts with a new Day 6 and continues through Day 10 with new conversations, art and four endings. Optional adult scenes do not determine the ending; the developer has explicitly clarified that route outcomes do not depend on those scenes.
