F2P Friday: A DATE WITH DEATH
Welcome to this week's installment of F2P Friday, where we highlight our favorite Free-2-Play games. The video game market is oversaturated, and sometimes, hidden gems fall through the cracks. This is where we dig for you and feature a new F2P game we know you will enjoy every week. This month, we celebrate Pride with LGBTQ+-focused and inclusive games featured every week in June. Today, we log into a mythic chat room for A Date With Death . RELATED: Check out our F2P Friday archives A Date With Death You're just an ordinary person, except that for your entire life, you've been narrowly avoiding death. You'd always considered yourself extremely lucky until one night when a strange program suddenly appeared on your computer, and someone claiming to be the Grim Reaper said he's come for your soul. Your life as you know it is thrown upside down. As you delve deeper into the mysterious man that calls himself the Grim Reaper, you begin to wonder if fate brought you two together for a reason. Can you resist his charm, or will you fall for the one destined to take your soul? RELATED: May's Most Anticipated Video Games The Basics Let's get down to the basics of A Date With Death by Two and a Half Studios. A Date with Death is a supernatural romance, chat simulator, and visual novel about the week-long bet you enter against the Grim Reaper to attempt to keep your soul. Create your own character, from appearance to pronouns, decorate your apartment and spend the (possible) last week of your life getting to know the one hunting for your soul. The gameplay comprises two main elements: character customization and dialogue. Often in visual novels, there is either no image of the protagonist or players have little to no input on them so the in-depth customization is an impressive addition. Players have control of their physical appearance, their pronouns, and their name, which can be updated throughout the game if needed. Visual novels are made great in their dialogue, and A Date With Death excels at building interesting characters and a compelling world through the chat options. Chatting with Grim reveals that your virtual date is snarky, but reading his replies builds a natural, believable conversation that is the basis for a great dating sim. RELATED: Fields of Mistria Is Finally Getting a Dating Mechanic Why Should I Play? So why should you play A Date With Death ? I went into this game not assuming much, only to have any expectations I did have, blown away. If you are a fan of the dating sim genre or well-written visual novels, this is a must-play. The art is beautifully stylized, which creates a charming world and impressive character models. Several mini-games break up the days between chat sessions, and though they don't add to the story, they are remarkably well done anyway. The game is short but memorable and even worth a replay to explore the branching endings. This game is free , but if you would like to support the creator, there is a paid DLC that expands the lore and gives you a little more time with Grim Reaper. If you are ready to log on and chat with Death, you can download A Date With Death to play for free on Steam and F2P Friday: Razzopolis

Maxwell Anderson trial, Sade Robinson killed: Monday, June 2
The Brief Testimony in the trial of Maxwell Anderson resumes on Monday, June 2. Anderson is accused of killing and dismembering 19-year-old Sade Robinson. WARNING: During testimony, some content may not be suitable for all viewers. MILWAUKEE - Testimony in the trial of Maxwell Anderson, the Milwaukee man accused of killing and dismembering Sade Robinson, resumed on Monday, June 2. What we know On Monday, June 2, the state began its case with Pete Worbington (not pictured) taking the stand. Worbington has known Anderson for years – and rented a lower unit from Anderson a few years back. After a mid-morning recess, Dr. Lauren Decker of the Milwaukee County Medical Examiner's Office took the stand for the state. She was there to talk about forensics tied to the case – and how the medical examiner's office handles autopsies. The backstory Anderson is charged with first-degree intentional homicide, mutilating a corpse, hiding a corpse and arson of property other than a building. He is accused of killing Robinson after a date, dismembering her and dumping her body parts across Milwaukee County. One of her arms was later found on an Illinois beach. SIGN UP TODAY: Get daily headlines, breaking news emails from FOX6 News Prosecutors said Anderson and Robinson showed up at a Menomonee Valley bar on April 1, 2024 – the night she was last seen or heard from. The next day, Robinson's burned-out car was found near 30th and Lisbon in Milwaukee. Surveillance photos show a man investigators believe is Anderson walking away from the area, and who was later seen on a bus heading back towards his home on the city's south side. Anderson had planned to kill Robinson weeks before her death, according to a statement from a "confidential informant" noted in court filings FOX6 News obtained. A search warrant also revealed prosecutors believe Anderson tried to cover up Robinson's death with a text message. Dig deeper FOX6 News is streaming the entire Anderson trial each day on FOX LOCAL.
