The No.1 with 11/10 rating(From me)Because it is my favorite games for my entire lifetime for sure and real, all of the moment was soooo wholesome It feel so real that i started feel nostalgia when i played this game again. Looking forward for the full release and i can't waiting >:)
Man, I LOVE this game, and it's only the demo out! I had high hopes considering one of my favorite games is Our Life, Forever and Always, but oh my gosh, did it surpass all of those expectations! Also, Baxter!? WHAT!?
Seriously, thank you from the bottom of my heart, GB Patch!
my son… my precious son i love him sm🐛🐛 i lowk gave up on my original full body and did a quick drawing of wtv this is.. i dont like his face but also idgaf 😒 ⁉️ anyway here’s my qiu route mc he’s so special to me 🙏🙏
(fun fact bcs i did one 4 yuming 2: he was born in melbourne and loved the sea as a kid. this then got him into pjo. he moved to la at 8 before moving to oregon 2 years later. due to the frequent moving he does have separation anxiety and is hesitant to make friends 😞😞😞)
KOJO VERSION WOOHOO ‼️‼️ im lowkey obsessed with the bg and the little tiktok and (old) facebook emojis lol. AND I JUST REALISED I HAVE THE SAME HEIGHT AS STEP 1 KOJO HELP 😆
so since this new update is just a sum up of them getting to see each other again, when do you think the net parts of when they start school and go to the phone store gonna come?
I present to you: Chibi Blythe and Kit Kat (Kathryne)! More chibis are coming soon :D
I finished this 2 days ago but was debating whether or not to release it as I finished or all at once so nobody felt disappointed in not seeing their oc drawn yet but I promise I have the other 2 (technically 3) in the works im just lazy n have been procrastinating a lot cause of college apps
JUDE, QIU, AND TAMMY ART BY MY GOAT 😭😭😭😭😭😭 I AM SO😭😭😭 HAPPYY😭😭😭 NOBODY MOVE THIS IS MY MOST JOYOUS DAY 😭😭😭😭 I LOVE THIS AUGH😭😭😭😭 THANK YOU FOR FEEDING ME OOMF😭😭😭😭
Y'all, I haven't spoken here in a hot moment, but I never did say that I love that this was based on Oregon. ITS MY HOME TOWN<33 I love it when Oregon is used for its cute forest towns and countryside. {expect Portland, Portland sucks.}
So a little context. About 4 months ago I promised someone that I would draw three of my MC’s alongside the OC’s from my own story I’m writing which they are based on. Well I got done with the first panel, which was my OLNF characters very easily. But when I went to draw panel 2, I got art block. And that art block has stayed on this specific drawing for 4 months. It has literally haunted my dreams. But I am done, I forced myself through the art block and finished. It is rushed and it is sloppy and I gave up on finishing the background as I no longer care enough to fix it, this was torture. So here it is. In panel one from left to right you have Sin, Bacon, & Kayhryne. In panel two you have Chris, Ember, and Layla. Enjoy this hot mess Imma go lay down and recover.
i feel like there should be an option to say your colorblind and that ur alergick to some foods and i also think there should be scenes where u speak about the scars and how u get them or an option to get them later in the story
Those are really fun ideas! We appreciate you thinking about the game in such detail. Unfortunately, things like that are beyond the scope of what we can do. There are so many ways a scar could have happened, or so many different kinds of allergies, it would be impossible for us to account for even a meaningful fraction. But you can always headcanon whatever you like! Thank you so much for following.
Well hello! I'm Back from the dead hehe and i wonder who wood like if thay add a opson to say my Mc is alergick to the food sombody ofer... I Tink it be a nice add
woa… havent posted on here in a good while 😭😭 anyway, have a basic intro for my tamarack route mc; yuming 🗣️❤️ still working on her lore + redoing my old ref sheet for my qiu route mc ‼️
(random fact bcs why not: pre-step 1 she was born in china before moving to texas around the age of 5-6 and then moving to golden grove, oregon when step 1 starts)
Man I just finished the demo and honestly I'm SO sad :[ I wish the release was comin out even sooner I seriously can't wait I'm so in love with this game and it's characters!! The story, the v i b e s, I love it all definitely my absolute FAVORITE visual novel, it has so many extra and interactive bits and I go crazy for that stuff! Now I'll be over here replayin it and maybe fanarting, gl to you creator I'm reallyreallyREALLY excited for the full thing! :D
I cannot wait for the full release; this game is truly something special. I played through the entire demo, and mannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn oh man, I miss the game already. The art style is so precious, and ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I cannot wait for this game to be fully out; it's so good. Thank you, developers, for crafting this sweet, cozy, and cute game (●'◡'●)
I don't even know where to begin, because words almost feel too small for what Our Life: Now & Forever gave me. This wasn't just a game — it was a heartfelt, gentle, and beautiful journey that made me laugh, tear up, and reflect on my own memories of growing up. Every moment felt personal, every character felt like someone I could reach out and hold, and the warmth woven into every scene was like a soft embrace on a rainy day.
The writing is tender and thoughtful, the art is stunningly cozy, and the music made my heart feel full in ways I didn’t expect. But more than anything, the kindness behind every choice and interaction reminded me that it's okay to feel deeply, to be yourself, and to cherish the people who walk through life beside you.
To the developers: thank you, truly. You've created something magical and meaningful. Our Life: Now & Forever isn't just a story I played — it's a memory I'll carry with me, and one I already want to revisit. You made the world a little softer and a little brighter with this, and I'm endlessly grateful for it.
im proudly waiting for this game to release fully for two and half years, i lovveedd the other one. I've played it for 43 hours and im excited for this one, ily
I'm sorry about that! Maybe I can help. I don't have the SmartScreen myself, but it seems like there is a way to disable to for apps, like our game. Here are instructions I was able to find, so hopefully these work:
1. Click Start, type Windows Security and open the app from the search results.
2. Open the App & browser control tab in the left pane.
3. Click on Reputation-based protection settings under Reputation-based protection.
4. Here, you'll find four different SmartScreen filters you can individually enable or disable. If you want to turn off the filter for files and executables, turn off Check apps and files and Potentially unwanted app blocking filters. The other two filters are for Microsoft Edge and Microsoft Store apps.
5. If you want to turn off SmartScreen completely, disable all four filters.
Hopefully that helps. If not, let me know and we can try something else. Thank you so much for playing!
which OS are you using, windows? mac? you need to extract the files from the zip folder and then click on the application file (should say 64 somewhere). sorry i'm not of much help i suck at jargon i just know what to click
windows but it's only showin a 32 of the application and then just the application and no numbers, I tried openin one of them though and it showed somethin about it might put my pc at risk??
sorry for being afk lol yeah any .exe file you download off the web gets that warning. since it's from itch.io it's usually safe and gb patch is definitely safe so if you download itch.io games and it's an exe again don't worry about it and just run the program!
Wow, it's been a long ass time since I last posted... Anyway I have came here for a simple request... Is there a 3ds theme of Ol1 or 2? I just got a 3ds and instantly thought of this, if there's not... Dont expect me to do one I'm lazy
im super duper late but i remember someone asking here what is a small fact about your oc? and i thought it would be cute that tamarack was always the one cutting her hair from step 2-3 ^^
yes!! its mostly because both tamarack and qiu act like suns around her despite the huge personality change on step 2!! 🫶🏻 (She was sort of a jeremy to them😭)

Portland slander will not be tolerated (only downtown Portland sucks)
so im back after being offline for almost 140 days. anything interesting happened here while i was gone?
a lot happened. Mostly good. There was some drama but don’t worry about it, not important.
So a little context. About 4 months ago I promised someone that I would draw three of my MC’s alongside the OC’s from my own story I’m writing which they are based on. Well I got done with the first panel, which was my OLNF characters very easily. But when I went to draw panel 2, I got art block. And that art block has stayed on this specific drawing for 4 months.

i feel like there should be an option to say your colorblind and that ur alergick to some foods and i also think there should be scenes where u speak about the scars and how u get them or an option to get them later in the story
i think thats a great ideaaa
!
I’ve had that exact thought too but that involves a lot of new dialogue which might be too much work to do all of that.
Those are really fun ideas! We appreciate you thinking about the game in such detail. Unfortunately, things like that are beyond the scope of what we can do.

my computer wont let me open it the microsoft smartscreen makes it so i cant open it :( Can some one help!

I'm sorry about that! Maybe I can help. I don't have the SmartScreen myself, but it seems like there is a way to disable to for apps, like our game. Here are instructions I was able to find, so hopefully these work:

windows but it's only showin a 32 of the application and then just the application and no numbers, I tried openin one of them though and it showed somethin about it might put my pc at risk??

sorry for being afk lol yeah any .exe file you download off the web gets that warning. since it's from itch.io it's usually safe and gb patch is definitely safe so if you download itch.io games and it's an exe again don't worry about it and just run the program!

Wow, it's been a long ass time since I last posted... Anyway I have came here for a simple request... Is there a 3ds theme of Ol1 or 2? I just got a 3ds and instantly thought of this, if there's not... Dont expect me to do one I'm lazy
I'm excited for the new update later!
Sometime this fall.
Just to give official confirmation, yes the update will be later this fall. Thank you so much for following!

I'm the only one who can't be mean to Qiu and tamarack? I know you can go back and choose different option but I just can't hurt them 😭
Well i can be a little mean to her but not to much and to Qiu nop he is my lovely boy~
i redesigned my step 2 oc! ^^ (this time i actually put effort lol-) my ocs name is tsukiko!!

THANK YEWWW! i kind of purposely did that cause it fits her character thanks for noticing ^^
SHES SO CUTE AWH!! let me guess, shes the moon to her sun hehe (tsukiko means moon child, right??)
yes!! its mostly because both tamarack and qiu act like suns around her despite the huge personality change on step 2!! 🫶🏻 (She was sort of a jeremy to them😭)
