This is a cute sapphic visual novel with good art and an interesting story when the couple decide to stay at a hot spring resort.
Игра "Death Becomes You: Yuri Onsen Vacation" – это восхитительное визуальное приключение! Атмосфера японского онсена передана невероятно тепло и уютно. Персонажи очаровывают своей индивидуальностью, а диалоги, хоть и простые, вызывают искренние улыбки. Художественный стиль радует глаз, особенно красивые фоны и детализация персонажей. Сюжет не претендует на глубину, но он достаточно интересен, чтобы удерживать внимание до самого финала, и наполнен приятной юмористической атмосферой. Это отличный способ расслабиться и погрузиться в спокойную, романтическую историю, где юмор и нежность переплетаются в идеальной пропорции. Рекомендую всем поклонникам визуальных новелл и жанра "юри"!

This VN is quite lacking in the Girls Love department, so keep that in mind before playing. The story takes place during the vacation of two girls; they are characters from the main game, "Death Becomes You", apparently. They get disturbed by a magical talking dog, which is from another VN: "A Summer with the Shiba Inu" That's about it; the next day the dog goes away and their vacation comes to an end. While the sprites are excellent, completely eye-catching, the CGs leave much to be desired. There are two CGs, and they are not made by the same artist. I'm not bashing the CGs per se; they're pretty artwork on their own. It's about the inconsistent style compared to the sprites; it's immersion-breaking. The backgrounds are nice, and the UI/Menus are great! So, while the narrative is well put together, for me it's hardly a yuri VN. I would say that it's more dedicated to the players of the main game. Don't bother with this VN if you want Girls Love stuff. PD: Devs, consider adding Spanish translations so your games can reach an ever larger audience. Thank you.
This is one of those instances in which I wish Steam had a neutral/mixed review option. The game is sweet and short, which definitely scratches the itch you would have for something like this, but bite sized. However, the story felt incredibly random and kind of unpolished. The game itself feels pretty unfinished with the 2 CGs highly differing in art style from the rest of the game and Syd not even having an actual sprite. But to be fair, I also haven't played the original Death Becomes You game, so I'm most likely losing a lot of context on the story side. On a bright note, this game did make me add Death Becomes You on my wishlist to play it in the near future, due to the concept of the magic and world seeming pretty interesting, so that's a win. All in all, if you want a quick, sweet experience, I do recommend the game, but at the same time don't keep your hopes up for something amazing.
En bref, Alice et Sophie entretiennent une relation à distance depuis qu'elles ont obtenu leur diplôme à l'Académie royale d'Ira, destinée aux utilisateurs talentueux de la magie. Sophie est restée sur le campus en tant que chercheuse, tandis qu'Alice s'est aventurée dans le monde en dehors de l'académie. Finalement, Sophie obtient un peu de temps libre et le couple se retrouve pour des vacances à l'onsen ! Cependant, les choses ne sont pas ce qu'elles semblent être à l'hôtel des sources thermales... plusieurs événements mystérieux semblent viser Alice et Sophie. L'hôtel est-il hanté ou un puissant ennemi magique est-il à l'œuvre ? Roman visuel cinétique (pas de choix). Vous recevrez 3 succès très facilement. Je recommande ce roman visuel, qui est entièrement gratuit pour le plaisir d'une bonne lecture (malheureusement en anglais seulement). Amicalement, Le pasteur .

This game functions just fine on the steam deck, but there is hardly anything to it. It does not stand alone as its own story and can be completed in under 20 minutes depending on how fast you read - feels like a low quality fanfiction drabble. From reading the dev notes inside I find out that it's a side story to the main game, Death Becomes You. I have not played that, but the writing in this story is awkward and not much happens. The story seems to have some potential but even considering it is side content for a larger game it feels unfinished/poorly executed. The [spoiler]dog[/spoiler] character doesn't even get a sprite. This should have been a DLC/extra for the main game, not a standalone entry.
Pretty cute yuri story about two girlfriends in an alternate universe with some magic! There aren't any choices you can make, but the art is cute and the story is interesting enough, it is also fast to play through, I basically got all the achivements and played through the story within the time it shows, so less than an hour. One thing about the art, the special pictures of the characters together look different than the art for the rest of the game, which threw me off at first. I also turned off the English audio (which is currently on beta), because to me it broke the immersion.
Short but sweet
