THIS GAME IS SO UNDERRATED, i started this game not knowing anything about it. and oh my god?? the music, art, plot, characters, voice acting, visuals, EVERYTHING was so beautiful. i didnt expect to sob like a baby by the endings. The game is so meaningful even if theres some mistranslations. i learned a lot from this game, "Limited" is the most romantic design of life. I also did not expect to love the widow more than the female lead LMAO, every route was so good!

Foreword: I was prejudiced in buying Lay a Beauty to Rest: The Darkness Peach Blossom Spring, the translation to English felt sketchy but the game having so many positive reviews piqued my curiosity. Aesthetics: The first thing that hits hard is the well-written story, mixed with interesting characters. You are a detective who goes through a cave and enters a mysterious Chinese medieval village. To avoid spoilers I will not elaborate further but I repeat, the story is amazing. The novel is somewhat short. The visuals are excellent and the soundtrack is great. Functionality: The game is split into a common route where decisions improve or lower the affinity of the characters or lead to a dead end. At the end of the common route is a branching path where depending on the choice chosen you go on a character-specific route. Finishing all other endings unlocks the true end. There is a feature called Organization which will be your best friend while hunting for specific endings or achievements. The translation is not perfect it still has meaning and works. It's just that the form and choice of words feel weird, like for example using the word “Organization” to describe the roadmap. The game is very well optimized. Enjoyment: I had a lot of fun with this visual novel, I am glad my curiosity got the better of me. Conclusion: I am so happy I gave this visual novel a chance, it was worth every penny. Other Notes: None at the moment.

Came for a dating sim, ended up murdering an entire immortal village , great game. Also reincarnated as a livestock goat a couple dozens of times... not so great. I'm glad that I went blind into this game because the Steam description is a bit spoilery, hence I recommend doing this as well in order to experience all the "surprises" while playing. This game has a unique plot which I really enjoyed, the beginning was already intriguing though seemed to be going into a somewhat basic direction but as the story progressed, it twisted into something very interesting and quite unique. I loved how this game combines the modern and ancient worlds and overall I found the entire setting great. It's a beautiful mystery story with a lovely message, the art, music, high-quality voice acting and atmosphere are flawless too and make it even more emotional. Now what I found disappointing is that several character routes end up with identical results instead of more diverse endings. Technically it makes sense lore-wise but for a few routes there was a small amount of new dialogue but the majority of the route was just the same as of a few others, without new ending. However there still is a good amount of various endings and I really enjoyed them for how different they are, the main issue was rather with how the routes of some side characters were handled. Nonetheless I still found the characters nice and likable, so that's the main reason I wished for everyone to get more screentime and development. After all there is still a vast amount of lore to explore and I loved learning about it. I just wished to see more of the protagonist's backstory and more content in some endings. Probably the objectively biggest issue with the game is the translation. If I had to explain it, the main problem is that plenty of sentences are simply grammatically incomplete. For example: "Why do you think that?" would be translated into: "Why think that?" or instead of "I've been running for too long" there is "Running (for) too long". So basically prounouns and any conjugation of the verb "to be" are often missing. Though it actually didn't bother me much since I still found everything understandable and just saw it as a "simplified" version of english lol, I still think it's important to mention that. I definitely recommend this, unless you enjoy hiking in unknown places .

Lay a Beauty to Rest is a bittersweet novel that in the end left me feeling slightly more happy rather than melancholic. The story itself is beautifully written, and is accented wonderfully by the incredible sound track and gorgeous art design. I loved how the many endings all felt like you had to give up on something to gain another, and that always kept nagging me in the back of my head making me want to go back to see if there were any other endings where my greedy bum could keep everything without giving up on any of the characters. I eventually got my desire in the true end and that felt extremely fulfilling. The EN translation was definitely a little rough, but it was translated more than well enough to understand the meaning behind everything still. The DLC can be considered a standalone part of the game, yet it can also be thought of as a completely different ending. Overall Lay a Beauty to Rest was an incredible read and I fully support and recommend this to anyone even slightly interested even at full price. I think it is more than worth it with how exceptionally it conveys its message.
