Shout Out / A Date with Death

• The messaging app is very clearly modelled after Discord.
• Some of the ads that can be seen in the messaging app are for other visual novels such as Slay the Princess, Moonflower, The Ocean At Night, and Please Be Happy.
• Another ad references the "We Are Fucking Under Attack" meme.
• When Grim asks if the player character knows what the first rule for Reapers is after they jokingly claim to be one, they can answer "You do not talk about Reaper Club".
• You can make fun of Grim's tendency to capitalize all his words by asking if he is a Homestuck, implicitly comparing it to the typing quirks that are ubiquitous to the webcomic^note Perhaps more specifically to Kanaya's quirk, as she also capitalizes every word.
• Some of the games you can play on your laptop are Pong, Minesweeper, and a clone of Wordle.
• After Grim uses a web metaphor to describe his hold on you, you can then proceed to call him "Spider-Grim".
• After Grim changes his profile picture to a selfie of him dressed as a vampire, you can mention that "white-haired vampires are in this year", likely as a nod to Astarion from Baldur's Gate III.
• One of the possible nicknames you can suggest for Grim is "Nagito Komaeda".
• You can ask Grim if he sparkles in the sunlight "like the vampires from that one movie".
• When Grim mentions "coming out of his shell", you can ask if reapers have shells "like those ninja tortoises".
  • One option in the same conversation can have you mention knowing "a gnarly song about crabs having a rave".
• When Casper shows up at your window, you can ask if he's going to whisk you away like Peter Pan.
• After learning that Grim's real name is Casper, you ask him the next day if he has heard of Casper the Friendly Ghost.
• After Casper mentions how Reapers are born adults, you can express sadness at him not being able to experience the fun parts of being a kid, with one of them being Coolmath Games.com.
