The demo for A Date with Death is live now!
A Date with Death is our free to play romance chatsim where you enter a week long bet against the Grim Reaper to keep your soul! It features a character creator, room customisation, and the ability to flirt with (or bully) the Grim Reaper.
You're just an ordinary person... or so you thought. For your entire life, you've been narrowly avoiding death by pure luck... or is it something more? When a strange program suddenly appears on your computer, and someone claiming to be the Grim Reaper says 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? Custom Character Creation: Build your own protagonist, from their physical appearance to their pronouns and name. Update them throughout the game! Room Design: Decorate your apartment to your liking and create a cozy space that you'll love coming back to. Pet Your Furry (or scaley?) Companion: Yes, you can pet the dog. Snuggle up with your furry friend and let their cute antics help you unwind. Choices That Matter: Make decisions that will affect your character's fate and lead you to one of multiple possible endings. What kind of relationship will you have with the Grim Reaper? Gorgeous Original Art: Lose yourself in stunning visuals that bring the story to life, and feel like you're truly part of the world of A Date with Death.

Hello everyone! It's finally the time everyone's been waiting for - the Fawn VA patch is now live on Steam! Here's a quick list of changes:
- Fawn route audio implemented
- Audio adjusted in all other parts of the game
- Some CGs adjusted
- Settings adjusted
- Minor text inconsistencies adjusted
We also have one opportunity left to create a character that will be in our next The Divine Speaker game (a sequel that follows Nox and Soren!). That's all for now! I really hope you enjoy The Divine Speaker! Gabby, Lead Developer Two and a Half Studios
[ 2022-10-13 03:21:49 CET ] [ Original post ]
Hello gamers! Gabby here with a quick update on the Fawn route voice acting patch! First of all, I hope you've all been enjoying the Leos route. Did you know that the game has over 15,000 voice files? Our poor audio editor can probably recite them all by heart... Anywho, onto the update!
Fawn Route VA
All voice lines for Fawn's route have been cut, edited, and inserted into the game. We're awaiting three actors sending in a few lines that needed either redoing or were missed in the initial recordings. We're hoping this won't take too long to receive. Our audio editor is handling communication with the actors, editing and insertion of these extra lines, so at the moment we're hands off of The Divine Speaker while these last few audio related tasks are completed.
Bug Fixes & Other Updates
The latest build of The Divine Speaker includes a few bug fixes - mainly audio related, as well as a few extra CGs. We're planning to add one final one to the final release as a thank you for your patience.
Fundraising Campaign
[previewyoutube=E_lrj_RREGY;full][/previewyoutube] We're currently running a Kickstarter for our next BL project, Dreambound! Dreambound is the story of a reclusive painter named Noah with the ability to enter dreams, and a series of murders (of people he used to know). It's a gorgeous, moody BL game that fans of TDS are sure to enjoy. We have 13 days left on the campaign and we're currently 94% funded. We're so close! If it's within your means, even $5 goes a long way into continuing our game development journey. Click here to check it out!

Hello everyone!
Gabby here from Two and a Half Studios!
I hope you're all doing well - it's been very busy over here at the studio.
We attended our first convention last weekend, and I thought I'd share some pictures!
Here's a look at our booth, which showcased our three completed games and also our new upcoming game, Dreambound!
And some of the brand new merch we made just for the event!
We had a great time at TasPop South, and even met some people who had already played our games - something we didn't expect, in our little home town.
Also, we have leftovers of some of our new merch up on our webstore right now, too! Our store will be open until the 4th of August!

Hello everyone! Just a quick reminder and update on the voice acting patch- the game has been released as unvoiced, but we left in the option (with a warning) that you can currently play the game with the common route + Cynes route voiced if you wanted to opt in, due to backers requesting it. The free massive voice acting patch will release Late April/Early May! As a reward, were also planning on creating a few special, extra CGs as thanks for waiting!

Hello everyone! We're so glad to hear that you're all enjoying The Divine Speaker. We just wanted to put out a reminder that demo saves are not supported in the full version of The Divine Speaker. This is because of new variables being initialized at the start of the game. What this means is that, if you use an old save, you will encounter crashes each time the journal updates after the extended demo portion of the game ends. Please use the fast skip option to start a new save and jump back to the extended demo ending. (P.S if you're enjoying the game, feel free to write a review! We're trying to get to 10 as fast as possible <3 ) Thank you! Two and a Half Studios
[ 2022-03-30 23:47:27 CET ] [ Original post ]
The Divine Speaker is now officially released! You can grab it now for 15% off for the next week. We hope you enjoy! Please note: full voice acting will be added Late April/Early May. We decided to add in the option to play the game with the voice acting that we've completed so far due to so many people asking - so you can play the Common Route + Cyne Route voiced if you wish! The option to turn it on is in the settings menu.
[ 2022-03-30 10:59:00 CET ] [ Original post ]
Hello, everyone!

Follow alongside Raen - an orphan from the secluded city of Aurelia Cavella, the only civilization on the entire planet... or so they're told.
Abandoned for his poor Judgement, the "destiny" given to him by the Divine Speaker, he grew up thinking his life would be plain and unexciting, and that's exactly how he liked it.
However, that all changes when he's expelled from his home on a death sentence, cast out into the vast and dangerous forest that surround Aurelia Cavella.
Raen must finally come to terms with the fact that there might be something else out there after all - and there's more to Aurelia Cavella than first meets the eye.
A fantastical adventure with a large cast of interesting characters. Mysteries, magic, beings of unknown power, murder and more await you in The Divine Speaker.
