November will be the early access release, containing Steps 1 and 2. The full release won't be until later in 2027, and beyond that for even more content. Thanks for following!
You dont know hoe excited I am for this to come out. Ive been a silent enjoyer for a while now but knowing its getting closer to demo release is incredible. Thank you for all your hard work!!
I finally did Evelyn's relationship chart after so longggg (I totally didn't force myself to do it because of a tt video) and I surprisingly did step one AND two!
First, my thoughts on what I played so far (I stopped in the prologue with plans to come back on full release.)
I adore the entire cast. It's all well written and every character is very charming, especially Qui and Tamarack! It's definitely very slow-paced, lingering in scenes to really immerse in the moment, which can make my brain itch a little, but is far from a problem, and for most players it's probably a boon (I just have focus struggles.)
Now the other thing I noticed, which I'm saying with absolute love: There's GOT to be at least one autistic / nuerodivergent member of the writing team because all the kids are reading intensely as nuerodivergent (coming from an AuDHD person), except maybe the rich boy (who's name I forgot orz) - and that's not even mentioning Cove being canonically diagnosed autistic in the first game! Even more with the first game, because plenty of the first cast didn't make me think "that's a nuerodivergent kid right there."
And I'm saying this from just the impression I got without even finishing the prologue (I didn't want to reach the end of what's out and then wait to continue, especially when I already had plans to replay the first one like 3 more times XD)
i haven't played this game in a while, but if you're on pc or mac you can delete save files by hovering over the save file and press the delete button or fn + delete, but if you're on android, you're gonna have to overwrite the file! <3
KALEEEEEEEEEE AAAA WE MISSED YOU SO 🥹🥹🥹🥹 i dont know if you remember me but i always saw u from a few updates back. LIAM LOOKS SO COOL WITH HIS NEW HAIR 🥹
i'm so excited for the update, i've played 100+ hours of beginning and always, plus bought almost all the DLCs. Cant wait to do the same with this game aswell!! 🥹💗💗
The art is BEAUTIFUL and delicious. However I can't help but notice that Owen looks like a male bird doing a dance here, like he's doing a little head slide. Or he could be having an epiphany, but I want to imagine he's jiggy because it's whimsy like his style.
All I have to say is WOW. I genuinely cannot believe how amazingly written this visual novel is! I never thought that there could be a vn that could top the og our life but I stand corrected! I whole heartedly felt like I was being swept away into another world to grow up again! I feel like I have forgotten how sweet childhood memories are and this vn brought all of my memories and feelings right back! I cannot WAIT for the full release of this game!!! That being said I love the inclusion of Baxter and I also loved the progression of Ren's character! #GoldenGrove4Life
This game is really one of my favorites, literally played this after finished playing "Our Life Beginning & Always". Can't stop replay it and I ended up making quite many different characters as the MC (Probably will show some drawing of them soon here ehehe,just like how some of people did here. Love that some people showed their arts in the comment section). Qiu and Tammy are precious babies, AAA– 💖💖
I am inspired to put the art of my mc Quinn Martin because of all the amazing art people are posting! (sorry about it being wonkey, I drew it on paper and then took a photo)
So umm there's is a bug that is happening on the steps 2 in the little moment, Qiu end up half bald and sometimes their sleeve of the jacket dissapear,is it possible to fix this bug?
HIS CHIBI DOLL IS SOOOOO COOLLL AND CUTEEEE AWHHHH and i smell angst from this dude right here 😪😪 his yippie shirt ISNT the happiest thing he has, right .....
IM SO LATE THIS HAS TO BE A CRIME AAAAAAA IM SO SORRY RAMU BUT HELLO AGAINNNNNNNN ‼️‼️ and HELLO kanra too I MISSED SEEING HER ADORABLE LITTLE FACEEEEEE
HALLOW LULUUU!! dw dw youre not late, ITS BEEN SO VERY LONG I HOPE YOUVE BEEN WELL!! <33 (and omg jshdjsjdb ty ty kanra feels so loved rn, the little prickly cat she is)
Ive lowk been rewriting all my mcs and drawing again,, my current hyperfixation has so much angst that it made me make my fav character live here LMFAO

Yes, this is still the demo version. The Early Access launch will be later this year. Thanks for following!

Tho I wish Baxter would notice me-
I finished the demo...
Truthfully, I love the writers, the artist, the creator (ofc), and EVERYONE ELSE who worked on this MASTERPIECE 🥹❤️🔥❤️🔥

This game is absolute cinema.
The art is BEAUTIFUL and delicious. However I can't help but notice that Owen looks like a male bird doing a dance here, like he's doing a little head slide. Or he could be having an epiphany, but I want to imagine he's jiggy because it's whimsy like his style.
Oh my GOSH 😭Yea lets go with that
All I have to say is WOW. I genuinely cannot believe how amazingly written this visual novel is! I never thought that there could be a vn that could top the og our life but I stand corrected!
