A Date with Death - Beyond the Bet: Beta Day 2/3
🕑 Added 2024-08-19 10:58:27 +0000 UTCSOLARIS TIER: Welcome to the A Date with Death - Beyond the Bet Beta!
This beta build contains the two new days of Beyond the Bet - a new alt day 7 and day 8! As always, it's best to start a new save when testing these builds so we're not chasing after any old bugs that have stuck around.
NOTE: When creating a new save file for this build, simply click "start" and choose to jump to Beyond the Bet. You will have to play through day 6 again.
If you've played any other beta for A Date with Death, please delete it and redownload the file below to play this beta.
Housekeeping
Please don't stream or record playthroughs of these builds. They're not ready for everyone to see yet. We want to give the best impression to players, so please wait until the game is officially out before streaming it.
Don't share screenshots publicly. We will slowly be releasing screenshots of the beta on our own schedule.
Please use this spreadsheet to report any bugs/spelling mistakes/crashes you get so we can look into them!
If you'd like to chat with other players and share screenshots, then please join our Discord and limit talk of it to the #patreon-nsfw-beta channel! We understand some of you are very excited and would like a place to talk to fellow fans about it, so that's the place! :D
Build Change Notes
This build contains day 2 and 3 (or, alternate day 7 and new day 8) of Beyond the Bet. It's a mostly complete build, but there are some things that are incomplete or we're waiting on. Please check the lists below for those things.
Voice acting - this build introduces voice acting into day 1 of the original game. Please keep in mind that we're still waiting on retakes for a few lines, so this is not yet complete. You're welcome to try it out for fun, but please keep in mind it's subject to change!
NSFW - this build introduces the first NSFW scene of the game at the end of day 8. You must have installed the NSFW patch to get the option to view this scene.
You can install the NSFW patch by dragging this file into your game folder, alongside the BeyondtheBet.rpa and DLC.rpa.

Tip from Patron Joyokai for Mac: just a tip for those on mac, if you try to open the application it might say something like "cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified". its just a security system thing on mac. If you want to open in, go to finder, find the app after you download it, and do control+click and select the open option!

Thank you - did you download the beta build, put it somewhere separate to any Steam/itch.io install, and then place the NSFW patch in the right spot? Feel free to upload a screenshot somewhere to show your files if you need.
Fremi
Sorry I should’ve been more clear, it’s not opening when I download it
Gabmag
You'll have to give some more info/photos of your files for us to be able to work out where you've gone wrong
Fremi
the Nsfw patch isn't working for me
MloulouB
Hi! tysm i managed to download it!
Gabmag
Could you give it another try now? It was still working on my end but I'll refreshed the link!
MloulouB
Hi, hope youre doing well! The windows link doesnt work, is the beta over? Im a bit late so i was wondering lol
Carolina Leiva
So excited! I want the post image without the text tho 🤔
WizardlyMagicks
Oh it was so worth the replay of Day 1 with the VA toggle on, as always Jonah is absolutely killing the role (grim reaper pun intended?) and I can't wait to hear the rest of the dialogue in the future~
Er
Thanks a lot!!🥺❤️ I’ll try it later

Okay, I've prepared a new build for you (it already includes the NSFW patch). Make sure to put it separate to any other installs of the game from Steam or itch.io. All you need to do is unzip the file and click the .exe. Starting a new game gives you the option to jump to Beyond the Bet. If you can't get that to work, you may need to join our Discord's beta chat so we can share some screenshots and work out where you're going wrong!
Er
I think I running it through the download , because I haven't open the steam or itch things when I download or after download. BTW I use PC
Gabmag
Hey there - are you definitely running it through the download, not through Steam/an itch.io copy? Are you using PC or Mac?
Er
I tried all of you suggestions but it still not work😭 The first time I downloaded it and hit the start it has no change; I tried to hit flower emote on day 5 but still nothing happened. Then I deleted it and redownloaded, retry the first time I done but still can’t work.😭💔
Er
Get it! Thank you!!
Gabmag
If you've downloaded the correct version, you will have an option to jump to it after hitting start
Er
So is that mean after | downloaded newest build and click "start" , it will jump automatically with the "Beyond the Bet" choose?
Gabmag
Hi! If you've downloaded the newest build directly from this post, you should get an option to jump straight to Beyond the Bet. You can also play through normally and then hit the option during the window scene on day 5 with a flower emote to go to Beyond the Bet. If you don't see these options, try deleting the build you downloaded and downloading it again!
Artemis
Ahhh thank you! My fast eyes didn't see it on this post~ Too excited to see Grimmy :3
Er
Hi, I want to confirm, after I install the DLC and open the game, I need to press the "start" button to start day 7 directly, right? Because after I click "start", it is still the day1 and I need to dress up my own interface.
Sazzypants
I’ll give it a shot, thank you!
Gabmag
This one likely isn't a bug but perhaps an issue with the install - did you download the newest build, remove any old betas, and start a brand new save file? I suggest redownloading the build and doing a quick run through the game again to get back to day 8. If you still can't get it to work, jump into our Discord patreon beta chat and we can take a look at your install and try to work out why you're having issues!
Sazzypants
I was able to get through 7 but when I got to 8 it won’t let me start the chat. When the usual pop-up appears the only option I can click on is “no” and then “leave” on the homescreen also doesn’t work. If there a step I miss or is this a bug I should report?
Gabmag
You'll have to click it from the website - the links update over time as we fix any crucial bugs, so the original link in your email will become out dated!
Artemis
Hiya, I clicked the Window Link in the email for the beta download but it says "no preview is available, file is in owner's trash." D: I see the download for the NSFW THOUGH
SatorusCursedLegacy
Thank you
Gabmag
There's an option to jump straight to Beyond the Bet after you hit start. If you're on Mac and that's not showing for you, try redownloading and you should be all good!
SatorusCursedLegacy
Ok was wondering if there was a way of knowing, guess I have to play to find out then.
Gabmag
Which part? It's simply download and then play. If you want the extra NSFW scene, then you drop the NSFW.rpy alongside DLC.rpy and BeyondtheBet.rpy in the game folder.
SatorusCursedLegacy
how do I know if I've done this correctly?
phairy
oooh, played it last night and just, the way everything was written was just beautiful. i cant wait for the dlc any longer 🥹
Gabmag
No problem at all, I hope you enjoy! :D
Lilian 726
OhH. Oh okay yes, that makes sense! Excuse me being a doofus, just wanted to make sure I was doing it right!
Gabmag
Well, you have to download the beta to actually access the NSFW patch, of course! Just grab the build for your OS (Windows or Mac), then make sure to drop the patch in alongside the other DLC files (BeyondtheBet.rpa and DLC.rpa).
Lilian 726
Ngl I’m a little confused about the downloading process. Do you only have to drag the nsfw patch into the gamefile or also the two other ones mentioned?
DarlaBubbles
that was amazing. best day ever!!!! 🥵
Gabmag
Feel free to drop into our Discords beta channel (make sure your Patreon is linked to your account) and send us some screenshots, then we can work out whats gone wrong for you!
