"I'm giving you a choice, Pryce.
I understand that this life changing event is sudden, and I'm willing to offer a deal. 
Someone who loves you dearly must lay a kiss on you within 48 hours.
Succeed, and you will regain your life.
Fail, and the course of your life returns back into my hands.
Do you take it?"

- The Reaper

"I'M GOING TO DIE!"

- Pryce, the main character, a few hours later after making the deal yelling this to a random bookshop owner -- she failed her roll.

Beyond Life and Death is a dice rolling Otome game, where you play as Pryce, a girl who has made a deal with the reaper to find love within 48 hours or not she will die -- again. Find love, roll and choose options to gain approval; and get that kiss! Just make sure that Pryce doesn't fumble too much into crying and scare them off.
