Evaluation
Lay a Beauty to Rest: The Darkness Peach Blossom Spring launched on October 21, 2021 and received two DLC releases: a soundtrack (November 5, 2021) and a story expansion called 折镜之蝶 (July 22, 2022). Both are marked as released, and no further DLC has been listed on the store.
The developer's most significant post about this game's context is a thank-you letter published on April 30, 2024, written following the successful launch of their next game, 饿殍：明末千里行. In that letter, the studio producer explicitly describes 葬花 (this game) as a past success that helped fund the story expansion 折镜之蝶, and frames the studio's future around two new projects — 黑巢 and 哀鸿. The post contains no mention of any planned additional content for 葬花, treating it as a completed, foundational work.
The only post-2022 activity for this game is a bug fix published on July 2, 2025, which addressed two specific gameplay bugs. This is straightforward maintenance, not indicative of new content development.
The studio's communications from 2023 onward are entirely focused on 饿殍 and future titles. All DLC for this game has shipped, no new content has been announced, and the developer's own retrospective letter treats the game as a completed chapter in the studio's history. The last meaningful content — the story expansion — shipped on July 22, 2022.
Evidence
Developer's post-launch letter for their next game (饿殍) references 葬花 and its expansion as completed past works that enabled the studio to continue. No future content for 葬花 is mentioned. The studio's roadmap describes entirely new projects going forward.
Story expansion 葬花：折镜之蝶 released, the second and final DLC for the game. Both listed DLC items are now marked as released.

About this game
“Ziji Liu, a native of Nanyang, is a famous person with good moral character. After hearing about this, he plans to go there.”
"During the reign-period Taiyuan of the Jin dynasty there lived in Wu‑ling a certain fisherman. One day, as he followed the course of a stream, he became unconscious of the distance he had traveled. All at once, he came upon a grove of blossoming peach trees that lined either bank for hundreds of paces..."
For thousands of years, countless travelers have lost in the mountains, looking for the legendary paradise.
They lingered, lost their way, or died soon after.
In the description they left: It seems to be a perfect utopia.
But if this utopia is eternal, is it not another form of hell?
What is the price for the extinct Hosha kingdom, which possessed the secret of immortality that even the emperor could not hope for?
Peach blossoms wither, dead bones are all over the ground, and equinox flowers wait a thousand years to bloom
The nine hundred souls left here are longing for the arrival of the "Man for Flower Burial“.
Shuang Hua in the daytime looks forward to going to the outside world with you and taking a look at the endless stream of horses and carriages.
Shuang Hua at night hopes you bury everything…
"Can you take me to the outside world?"
The goddess in charge of the sacrifices is said to be the descendant of the mountain god who guided villagers to take refuge in the Peach Blossom Spring.
She is gentle and kind, curious about the outside world.
“The rules of the day do not apply to the night.”
A mysterious girl appears at night and has the same appearance as Shuang Hua in the daytime, but their temperaments are quite different.
Sometimes indifferent and noble, sometimes charming and affectionate.
She is the master of the Peach Blossom Spring and has the power of omniscience and omnipotence.
An amnestic girl in the village that looks related to those mysteries.
A gentle widow during the daytime, and an intrepid blade master at night.
A kind village head during the daytime, always hungry at night.
He is a hunter and butcher in the village who slaughtered the livestock.
A naughty kid in the village who like to play cricket fighting.
- High degree of freedom,
- Text with 200,000 non-repeating words
- 20 different endings

The Goddess, amnestic little sister, pretty widow, an aged village head, and strong hunter are the main characters. They all have their own backstories and unique endings (love or friendship).
Some options are locked in the first playthrough, and hidden options will be unlocked when replaying.
Japanese-style impasto style, the pursuit of the ultimate fineness.
The clothing and village environments are designed by referring to the clothing characteristics of the Qin and Han dynasties in China.
