Lovely experience. It feels very comforting; I think I am not alone in saying that this is especially the case for those who had a messy childhood.
Just hoping to ask though, in the future, would there be any plans for some extra options added for certain choices like the one where you have the options "You were lactose intolerant too" and "Not being able to have milk must have been tough", for people that don't consume animal products?
You can choose to be vegan in Steps 2 and going forward, but the MC is a little too young in Step 1 for us to have made that something they're fully aware of. MC doesn't have vegans in their family, so they need more time to figure it out for themselves. I'm glad you enjoyed the demo!
I appreciate you letting me know your plans for these options. Although I would have loved to have been vegan for all of my life, that is unfortunately a common story for someone with a family unsupportive of such a decision. I personally also started taking steps towards veganism only just slightly earlier than the age the characters are in Step 2 once I started learning to cook.
And yes! The demo is wonderful. I really loved playing though Our Life: Beginnings & Always. I can tell that your team has expanded on the many things in that project, which already culminated in a truly amazing experience, in this game just from what you have shown off in the demo. I'm looking forward to purchasing the full release and dlc once they come out, and seeing more of Tamarack and Qiu.
(P.S. This has probably been said a lot, but thank you as well so much for all the effort you put into making the game inclusive for nonbinary people, as well as for going to the extent of having one of the lead character be nonbinary. It makes me feel happy in a way I can't describe)
I can't keep playing. I don't know how I can do the update. does it work automatically or do I have to do something to continue the story or do the update?
Hi Idk if I'm the only one having the problem here with the update, I can't really uh download the game again and update it, because uhm everytime I try to it stops and says that it's 'forbidden'? Idk, it might just be my phone. ( Anyway, love the game, i've also been a supporter since the start of this game so yeah :D )
Hi! I really liked the jealousy mechanics you added, it's interesting! But I wanted to clarify a few details.
Only MC can get jealous or ROs too? And under what circumstances this is shown? Should MC like both ROs at the same time (not the poly route) or can one RO be just a friend, but the other will get jealous anyway, perhaps to the secondary characters? And to make this mechanic work, do you need to choose the option that RO is also in the crash stage? Or it doesn't depend on it? It’s just that my MC is in love with Qiu, but I wouldn't like to decide for Qiu whether they are in love with my MC or not, I want there to be some kind of intrigue in this. At the same time, I want to experience this jealousy mechanic, so I'm a little confused lol I hope you can tell me how it works! Thanks!
Qiu and Tamarack can be jealous. They can be jealous as a crush or as a friend, but not as a neighbor. I haven't written Step 2 besides that preview in the demo, so I can't give any specific examples of when the jealous element will show up, aha.
Understandable, but I was kinda wondering why you can't chose your neighbours to be "Envious Of". Since you are still probably gonna end up meeting and interacting with them, it would be interesting to see how the dynamic between you can completely change if you are really distant, yet one or both of you are envious. I imagine that in step 2 it is especially significant, since everyone are trying to figure themselves out
It's because the feature is already kind of confusing for players and adding more specifics on how it works and what doesn't work is too much. Since you can't be jealous over a neighbor, you can't use the jealousy feature at all. That's the most simple and easy to understand option for the system.
For some reason it shows the old thank you screen even if I click it shows them without no background talking, then sky then error message. Do I need to restart whole game?
THE LONG AWAITED UPDATE IS HERE! I've been very busy this week so this was such a lovely surprise to see today. ❤️ keep up the wonderful work GBPatch team!!!
Every time I come back to play through the entire OL series I'm amazed at the improvements to the art, atmosphere and diversity. Can't wait to make more memories with the charming characters! Tomorrow can't come any faster ahhhhh
I've played the demo so many times and it's so so cuteee! The art in visual novels plays an important role for me, and this 100% meets my standards. The MC is easy to customize and the story is well written. I can't wait for the full release, thank you for this game!! ^^
1. You probably won't be able to add makeup in the MC Doll, but there should be choices in-game that let you apply it when you're older. It's just not a detail that'd appear on the icon.
I remember seeing this game months ago and wishing to play it soon, i completely forgot about it, and i feel quite relieved to see it on my page again, as i haven't opened itch.io in absolute AGES This comment itself isn't important, as i just wanted to share my boring story I hope i have fun
Creo que soy unas pocas personas que hablan español que juega este juego si pregunta uso traductor de pantalla ya que no sé ningún carajo de inglés pero por amor de dios me estoy volviendo loca desde que conocí este juego no puedo dejar de pensar en el juego y si se lo súper recomiendo pero después vá a terminar en camino de la locura esperando una nueva actualización :)
Bueno aunque aveces se puede cerrar por si solo pero solo pasa pocas veces entonces usar el traductor que más se vaces a tus necesidades y perdón por responderte tan tarde y que tengas bonito día :)
muchísimas gracias a las dos por las opciones. y no hay problema por lo de responder tarde, de hecho no pensé que me fuese a responder alguien jajaja. que tengas un lindo día vos también :D
Sorry if this is a bit of an obvious question, I'm new to the site and I don't know how to see this exactly, so I was wondering, is the game complete yet? ;-;
ive been playing this since the beginning of the year, and only now i found the strength to write a full-fledged comment, not only follow the developers and read the game forum. 😌
loved the demo!! i played our life: BA too and loved every minute of the gameplay! cove is a truly charming guy, he ate my heart way mora than once! ^_^
regarding this particular part of the game, loved everything here! there is a very nice drawing and color palette in the illustrations, everything is very nice to look at. i want to thank the artist, ya are truly amazing! i can also say that the variability in the choices and the editor of the MC (and their mother) did not disappoint me one bit! everything is very interesting, beautiful and diverse there. i really like that the story characters notice every single detail (or almost every single detail heh) that i chose for the appearance of MC, and also often comment and even praise them! here you can even enter your race, nationality and choose (and/or invent) the city (or country? i didn’t quite understood) in which the MC used to live! it's so cool!!! im sure that such a wide variety requires a lot of work on the code and the game as a whole! this is incredible work!
i really liked the characters. tammy won my heart, and will eat it a little later, im sure. gotta romance her XD qiu is also an interesting and pleasant person, im really looking forward to know more about them in the future. im glad baxter is in this story too, he's wonderful guy.
another huge plus is that now you can choose lower relationships than before (like from crush to friends etc). this feature was sorely lacking in the previous part of our life, and this is a great addition! bravo! thanks you! love you gbpatch! /pos
the only minus... it raised my standards for visual novellas. i can hardly read other novels now! but i think that doesnt botha me much... 😅
i have only two questions:
1. one comment above got me thinking... could the MC be officially neurodivergent in this game? for example, have ADHD or autism? if yes, it's awesome! if no, it's okay too. :)
2. I know there will be more ms stuff in the editor in the future... but will there be more curly hair specifically? i really want to make my MC with curly hair, not wavy and not straight. but then ill have to play the whole game with only 1-2 hairstyles...
thanks you! good luck with new updates and games! XOXO
I'm so glad you enjoyed the first game and this current demo! To answer your questions-
1. I'm afraid we can't have the MC be officially diagnosed with anything because there's a lot of neurodivergency and we can't write enough alterations to properly represent all of them. Being neurodivergent isn't part of a person we can simply state is true and then not show it in how they think and behave. So, players have to headcanon it instead.
2. Yes, there will be more curly hairstyles coming!
Super super excited for the possible update!! I've played this demo, like, thrice already and Qiu has such a special place in my heart right next to Cove ~
May has arrived! Why hasn't it been updated yet! I'm going to cry now！I mean, I'll keep waiting and take a look from time to time!, I will be particularly happy on the day he updates🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺Thank you for the GBPatch❤️❤️❤️❤️
It would be cool if more allergies, asthma, and ADHD were added to the game I have asthma, ADHD, and allergies so it would be really cool, until then my friend. Heart, Heart, Kiss, Kiss, Love, Love, Can't wait to see Qin and Tammy. 😁😁😁
it would be really cool if the MC could be officially neurodivergent (not as HC) and have more possible health problems than in the first game (our life: BA). i think it will be pretty interesting :D
im so excited for an update i love this game so muchhh :( i've been following it since it was just the prologue, before we even got to see the inside of the house. I'm so in love with the story and the characters. plus the MC character design is always a fun addition that i adore

Thank you for the understanding and the kind words! I'm happy you're enjoying the OL series :D
With the romance and poli-relationship, is it NSFW or not? If the romance doesn’t go anywhere other than talking, it’s kind of a bummer.
There's no NSFW content in this game. It's a story that's appropriate for teenagers to play and enjoy as well as adults.
The most you'll get is probably kissing and butt grabbing, thats as far as the first game went
I have a bug on Android where sometimes the background doesn't load in and it's just a solid black or white
I'm sorry for that! You can try this to see if it fixes the loading problem:
Pressing Shift + G and change the renderer. Changing it to ANGLE renderer.
loved the genderfluid and demigender (sometimes, kind of) options in the update
I can't keep playing. I don't know how I can do the update. does it work automatically or do I have to do something to continue the story or do the update?
if you have the itch.io app on your pc it should update automatically , if you dont you should redownload it
It doesn't what should I do :((
Can't let gang know I fw this game
They aint gang then make them play this now it needs more popular
Exploring the game and really enjoying how the story is told.
yayayayyayaya
i've updated the game but it tells me that the wheels moment is unavailable in this version? any ideas on what i can do? :,)
Were you trying to load an old save? And did you delete the old build off your device? Sometimes old data can stop you from accessing the new stuff.
thank youu, i'll delete my old saves and see if it works <3
The story is so well-crafted. with twists and turns that kept me on the edge of my seat.
Hi Idk if I'm the only one having the problem here with the update, I can't really uh download the game again and update it, because uhm everytime I try to it stops and says that it's 'forbidden'? Idk, it might just be my phone. ( Anyway, love the game, i've also been a supporter since the start of this game so yeah :D )
Its working on pc for me
Me too!
I'm sorry for that. You might need more space or to change your settings to allow you to download the update.

Would we be able to choose what reason we or they are envious/jealous about?
the full release of this game is going to fix me i just know it
fr fr, all the ugly childhood memories i haev is being cured by this game
For some reason it shows the old thank you screen even if I click it shows them without no background talking, then sky then error message. Do I need to restart whole game?
Sometimes loading a very old save in a new version doesn't work. Starting a new file should fix that.
I'M SO EXCITED THAT I HAD TO GET UP AND DO A LIL HAPPY DANCE!!!! THANK YOU GBPATCH FOR THE AWESOME UPDATE!!!!!!! 😻😻
the update is finally here! i will definitely play it tomorrow, today i need to prepare for the end of the school year ☺️
love you gbpatch thanks you
THE LONG AWAITED UPDATE IS HERE! I've been very busy this week so this was such a lovely surprise to see today. ❤️ keep up the wonderful work GBPatch team!!!
can you continue playing? because it always says thank you on the end where I stopped playing so I can't continue the story :((
Hi!! I got a bit confused at your comment. Are you just stuck on the thank you end screen?? Like you can't replay the demo?
Do you mean continue playing Part 2? That is just a preview; the developer said it is unfinished and it's just a sneak peek into what's to come!
OHH TYSMM
Every time I come back to play through the entire OL series I'm amazed at the improvements to the art, atmosphere and diversity. Can't wait to make more memories with the charming characters! Tomorrow can't come any faster ahhhhh
I've played the demo so many times and it's so so cuteee! The art in visual novels plays an important role for me, and this 100% meets my standards. The MC is easy to customize and the story is well written. I can't wait for the full release, thank you for this game!! ^^
Hello! I really liked the demo, I'm looking forward to the update!!!! 🥰🥰 And I have two questions:
1. Will it be possible to select makeup in MC Maker?
2. Will there be a polyamorous wedding in the DLC?
i know im not gbpatch so i'm kind of just guessing here.
1) i don't think it's been stated yet
2) i think that gbpatch has said that it will be!!
hope that answers your questions!!
1. You probably won't be able to add makeup in the MC Doll, but there should be choices in-game that let you apply it when you're older. It's just not a detail that'd appear on the icon.
2. Yes, you can have a wedding with both!
omg i cant wait for this game to be out already its so CUTEEEE AHHHH >_<
I remember seeing this game months ago and wishing to play it soon, i completely forgot about it, and i feel quite relieved to see it on my page again, as i haven't opened itch.io in absolute AGES
This comment itself isn't important, as i just wanted to share my boring story
I hope i have fun
i hope baxter will have a route in this game too i love him too much
as far as i know, GBpatch said that there would be no additional routes other than qiu and tamarack. dlc with other characters is also unlikely. :(
Yup, because this game focuses solidly on Qiu and Tamarack. There will be no DLC for another character.
yep!
aww :(
i get it tho this game has much more features than the previous one so it makes sense
Creo que soy unas pocas personas que hablan español que juega este juego si pregunta uso traductor de pantalla ya que no sé ningún carajo de inglés pero por amor de dios me estoy volviendo loca desde que conocí este juego no puedo dejar de pensar en el juego y si se lo súper recomiendo pero después vá a terminar en camino de la locura esperando una nueva actualización :)
pasa el traductor que usas, yo tampoco se inglés pero quiero jugarlo xD
Si necesitáis un buen traductor, os recomiendo este:
https://www.deepl.com/es/translator-mobile
El traductor de hana paso probablemente es bueno pero yo juego desde celular entonces el traductor que usamos en realidad es una aplicación aquí estar https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spaceship.screen.textcopy
Bueno aunque aveces se puede cerrar por si solo pero solo pasa pocas veces entonces usar el traductor que más se vaces a tus necesidades y perdón por responderte tan tarde y que tengas bonito día :)
muchísimas gracias a las dos por las opciones.
y no hay problema por lo de responder tarde, de hecho no pensé que me fuese a responder alguien jajaja.
que tengas un lindo día vos también :D
Van a sacar actu pronto creo que el 22!
Just stumbled across this while searching the "Slice of life" category for the first time, will definitely check this out. Looking really cosy!
Does anyone know when the game is going to be updated?
I do believe it will be this month but if not then probably next month
on wednesday
YIPPEE
THANK YOU
Sorry if this is a bit of an obvious question, I'm new to the site and I don't know how to see this exactly, so I was wondering, is the game complete yet? ;-;
Only the demo is available right now. I believe the full game should release in 2025. There should be an update to the demo this month though!
omg this month? i'm excited !
Its not its gonna be complete in late 2025
Qiuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
FIRST SHILO THEN JEREMY AND NOW BAXTER!!! I AM SO HAPPY WE GET ANOUTHER CROSSOVER 😆

Why does the games style look so pretty!?
