if you're looking to romance baxter, you should check out the dlc on OLBA instead 🗣 i don't really see baxter getting an OLNF dlc after he already got one over there haha 😭
i am devastatingly stuck between wanting to play the demo now or waiting until its finished ;-; does anyone have any opinions on this topic because im almost done with the OG 'our life' and absolutely ADORE it and this looks AMAZING ESPECIALLY CUZ MY FAVORATE SEASON IS FALL AND ORJFNEOSILTTEJG *sits in my corner conflickted
I JUST WATCHED THEE TRAILER YOU DONT UNDERSTEND I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS GAMR I AM VIBRATING WITH EXITEMENT RN I WOULD GIVE THIS GAME A BIG FREAKING HUG IF I COULD AUGHJHGGHGIOERPAHTIOSL
I say, play it, you won't be disappointed, and it'll show and let you experience a small amount of what will be in the future. I keep on replaying the demo and the first OL.
you're not wrong it is torture after playing the demo but I think it was completely worth it. ugh I can't wait for this game to come out, does anyone know if there's an estimate on the release date? and will it have purchasable expansions like the OL1?
Same here. I check for updates almost daily I swear. I replay what's currently out to see if I'm missing any cool scenes. They've done an amazing job on this game so far!
im so sat for this game, the first our life holds such a very special place in my heart and i replay it so often, i cannot WAIT until this comes out. i know that it won't be until late next year at the earliest but i will wait. i will wait FOREVER if i have to.
Ok.. so quick question. I notice that the game is REALLY good, and very detailed. so, I was wondering if the User was going to have the option to have some sort of illness, kinda like the first Our Life where you could have body Dysphoria. Maybe things like depression, anxiety, or even suicidal thoughts. Not sure because this is normally very wholesome but i feel like it would be a nice addition. ^^
What you propose is interesting but I doubt that they will do it since they would have to add a lot of dialogues and that these would have a follow-up throughout the story, I think it is a good addition but they must already be somewhat advanced in the project, but it is never lost that possibility of being included
Heya! quick question, but is there any way to keep Tammy and qiu friends in the step 2 preview??? I kinda want us to all stay as friends rather than us breaking up lol
There is no way per se, since our choices are just an interaction between us and another character, but in the story it will end up being the same no matter how hard we try.
I know this is such a small detail to ask about, but how are the more blunt choices taken by the other characters? I don't wanna choose them and end up realizing that whichever character I was interacting with took the bluntness in a negative way :'))
(If the question makes sense; I find it hard to word things sometimes)
It depends on your relationship and dynamic and the specific choice. Usually, you have to be unambiguously rude for them to think you're trying to be unkind, otherwise they take it as normal. Or they can like your bluntness if you have a close bond!
I have a question is walks and wheels playable. By that i mean do you have buy it is it free? Like for examples for step 2 preview a sneak peak or is it free?
So, I'm in like, my 10th playthrough and still haven't managed to get to the rain scene with tamarack with a red umbrella, is it just not on the demo? Cause I tried to say no to the dinner and just managed to invite someone to it.
So hello hi hi 🤗 ... I loved the game 1mil out of 1mil but but but here's the problem now When is the full version gonna come out 😭 cause oh my god the story was just getting good and bam that was the end of the demo, bruh y'all really left me on a the hugest cliffhanger I've ever seen,. I so totes gotta know FAM when Is the full version coming out cause I gotta be the first one to download it🥰. Really amazing game❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is a question I intended to ask on Tumblr but for some reason it is giving errors. Since I am very anxious, I decided to ask the question here. I hope this doesn't get in the way in any way 🙏.
A few days ago I saw your post on Kickstarter talking about the wedding DLC for Our Life: Now and Forever that you had made after the fundraiser. In it you explained how to unlock the DLC and that you could get engaged to Qiu/Tamarack in step 3 or 4 but, that you couldn't have the wedding in step 3 because by default Qiu/Tamarack expected to get older. This honestly confused me, since in OL1 (with the wedding DLC) you could only propose to Cove at the end of step 3 to the beginning of step 4. So in theory you asked him to marry you in step 3 but soon you were already in step 4, so it didn't take long for you to be married to him (if you chose to be legally married). I don't know if you fully understood what I'm trying to say. But it made me wonder if OL2 will follow the same line of events as OL1. By this I mean in matters of confessions, dating, engagement and marriage. Or if there will be a more direct way compared to OL1 where you just declared, dated and got engaged in the transitions from one step to another?
I'm sorry, I'm not sure I fully understand. You can propose in Step 3 but the actual wedding will only ever happen with their Step 4 versions. But you don't have to do things during the transitions. If you play the DLC Moments, you can propose to Cove in Step 3 with an actual scene. If you don't have the DLC or just want to wait, you can propose to him in Step 4 itself or Cove can propose to you in Step 4. There's tutorials on how to get those scenes in an FAQ- https://gb-patch.tumblr.com/faq
WWont lie was looking for adult games when saw this. And it was the most adorable game that completely flipped my plans for the night. I stayed up all night reading and loving every second of this. Also no I saw it was not an adult game. But note to creator It came up in a erotic search for some reason?
I'm glad you enjoyed it for what it was! I know some adult-oriented sites like to re-upload Our Life simply because it's a semi-well known VN that people look for and those listings appear on search engines. But if it was listed with adult games on Itch itself, I don't know what happened there.
Yes it was a third party game so that makes more sense, but if it wasnt for that i wouldnt have found it. IT WAS SO GOOD! about to play as many paths as possible!
Hi! I love this game! I was just wondering if there will be an IOS version. My android phone recently broke and now all I have is my iPad. I would LOVE if I could still play, even if I have to start over. Also yes, there is the apple ICON but it said it’s only for COMPUTERS. So I was wondering if you might be able to add that feature. 😁✌️
Any news on when the full game will release? I am in love with these Our Life games. Gonna buy the Beginnings and Always dlc's soon. So i can do my 3rd playthrough. And am super excited for this one to fully release.
think they said- that they're gonna release it 2025, if not, finals of this year cuz they're totally into programming this masterpiece,dunno if im right tho that's what I heard😭😭
Ok, I don't really know what to say about the game since I don't know where to start.
~the artistic section: which in my opinion is beautiful, the amount of details and how pleasant it is to look at and how well implemented it is for the setting.
~the music: there's not much to say, it's incredible, relaxing and a bit sentimental, I genuinely shed a few tears with such a beautiful soundtrack.
~The characters: I love their presentations and how charismatic they are, the sweetness, tenderness and kindness of Tamarck, and with Qiu how "cool" friendly and above all pleasant that he becomes, they do steal the attention and it is even difficult choose one of the two and about some secondary characters like Tamarack's grandparents or Qiu's parents, I don't know how to describe them so I'll leave it to the discretion of whoever is reading this.
~Before finishing let's talk about the content of the game and here it stands out having multiple options to make it more immersive such as the different hairstyles, clothing, etc. and even details that many games overlook such as height, skin color or even which hand is dominant! That is undoubtedly dedication and love for detail and that shows the love with which the game is being made. Sorry if it's long, the truth is that I loved this game. If I had to describe it in a short summary, it would be difficult since this video game hugged every fiber of me and accompanied me by the hand. It saw me cry It saw me laugh, until the end. This deserves 5 stars and a lot more support. Without a doubt a great game and I literally can't wait to play the full version.
---------------------------------------------------------------------Sorry again and thanks to those who read until the end!♡
this might just be overthinking, but is the towns name (Golden Grove), as well as the sign a reference to Mystery inc. tv show? (where the towns name is Crystal Cove, and the town has a similar sign by the entryway)
It's not a reference to that. The lead of the first Our Life game is Cove Holden. So "Grove" and "Golden" match his naming convention! But that is a neat coincidence.
Really Good game,so Far im liking this one more then the First one,i really Like Tamarack,but i have a question:
Do you guys plan on making a scene/memory/moment where we meet out father? Even if it was a really short thing,i think It would be really nice,in the First game,our parents are dead,but i this one (if i got it right) he was a sperm donor or something alike,so i really think it would be Nice knowing him
I think this is quite difficult because if he shows up he will have to rely on our appearance right? (I used translation to write this comment sorry if it has bad grammar)(╥﹏╥)
I'm glad you like the demo! But I'm afraid you won't meet the dad. He's not in the MC's life specifically so we don't have to create another highly customizable character, aha.
I'm amazed by how much content there was in the demo! I had a lovely time experiencing these friends meet, among other things. One particular favorite facet of this is how specifically it remembers your choices: Tamarack asked if my character was a girl. I replied "sometimes" to match myself, and throughout the remainder of Step 1 my character was introduced as "sometimes a girl." It's peak. Can't wait to play more! (Note: I have not yet investigated the Step 2 preview.)
I was a supporter on patreon for like a year, until I unfortunately had to cancel my subscription due to my financial situation changing. It's with great regrets that I had to stop, but I am still frequently checking on the game's progress ! I want to thank all of the GBPatch team for their great work !
So, I last played the 1.3.3 beta from when I was still a supporter. I'm going to play the demo 1.4.0 and write my thoughts there.
First, the new pronoun settings : I love the changes ! I especially enjoy being able to use fem, masc, gender neutral, etc, at the same time ! Even tho I don't use this feature it's not usually a possibility and I think much fellow queer people will enjoy this new feature ! The new interface is also very pleasurable. The question marks are very much appreciated, especially when english is not your native language.
Uh oh ! Error screen ahah. I guess it's from picking "continue". I'll make a brand new save. Here is the full error in case you might want it.
Okay, so ! Brand new save !
I see new haircuts I think ! I love these ! So much possibilities ! A lot of hair types, that is great ! I also love the added filters, very much appreciated. So many new outfits, including traditional clothing ! That's amazing.
If I am not mistaken, it wasn't possible to change the facial expression by clicking the camera ! I also don't think ambidextrous was a possibility either ? Might be wrong tho ! Either way I love these opportunities !
NO WAY FREQUENCY BUTTONS FOR PRONOUNS?!?! Okay this is unprecedented. What a great feature.
New stickers too ! I love the additions !
There are now sometimes two pages of choices ! Ahah ! I think some illustrations changed too ! Nice improvement.
I see new dialogues, they add details, nice. Nice addition of "Autumn" as a nickname for Qiu ! Added dialogue during the walk to school, that's cool ! Cannot imagine that moment without it now ! I like that every speaking character has their face made with the character editor in the textbox. Adddition of race and nationality, good ! Backyard dialogue w Tamarack !!
I think the room customization got an upgrade too ! Wow !
Thank you for supporting us and for the feedback. The error you got might be because there's conflicting info from the beta build and the demo. But it hopefully won't be a problem with later updates/the completed version!
Made an account literally just so I could comment on here lmao
Okay, so basically, THIS WAS SO GOOD HOLY CRAP??? The writing, the characters, EVERYTHING is so good I was actually so sad when i got to the end of the preview. This is one of those games where after you play it, you can't play anything else because everything will pale in comparison.
And then the art? The characters are gorgeous (Qiu is so cute omg), but the scenery just blew me away. I had to pause at moments and go "wow someone actually drew this" because they were so detailed and nice to look at.
Normally I prefer more darker, graphic visual novels but this was amazing. The cutesy atmosphere paired with the childlike point of view made my heart so happy (it also hurt a bit but we don't talk about that), and the world felt decently fleshed out. I really felt like I was just a little kid who just moved to an unfamiliar neighborhood, and that my choices would actually shape my life and relationships from then on.
I also can't tell if i'm just going crazy or in the preview for step 2 the world seemed a lot less bright, like we lost our childlike wonder or whatever? If so, then that's a really cool detail. Also the shift in personalities for both Tamarack and Qiu was really intriguing, I can't wait to see more of how that came to be and how it gets expanded on.
Overall, this game was a joy and pleasantly heartwarming, which I kinda needed right now. I'm looking forward to playing more as you continue to develop and release more portions of the game! Have a great rest of your day or night! :)
After playing this game I tried To play other dating sims and stuff but nothing clicked!😭
I even tried to buy an expensive one with its dlc just me to forget OL2 but nothing happened!!!😭
AND I DONT EVEN WANT TO PLAY A GAME WHERE IT COST TONS OF MONEY!😭 OR BETTER YET, LIKE NO MONEY AT ALL!!!😭 FOR SHORT FREE!
REALY I SPENT LIKE 30 EUROS OR SOMETHING!!!😭
There is the truth of Not because its more expensive dossent mean its better.
That phrase hit me harder than my dads belt!!!😭
felt like all the other games went dull and nothing is enjoyable anymore😭
The art was an art I've never ever seen on a game before. Like it feels warm and cozy despite it being autumn. The soundtrack was just perfect. basically THERE IS NO OTHER GAME LIKE IT!
also Im same as you... I never thought I'd enjoy a cute game such as this... This game was a real eye opener on finding a new genre.
Im happy I just randomly spotted this game on itch while searching for some free yuri games and just so happens that its free😅
Like I didn't even understood the mechanics of the game...
I thought I would play as qui cous he lookd like a girl and Im targeting Tamarak. But boy was I surprised that It was nothing I've thought of😅
Instead... It was ✨️Better✨️
the first time ive opened the game like just on the menu screen When I heard the music something warm just suddenly appeared inside me... Like suddenly I felt like someone was hugging me... It felt so emotional that I couldn't understand wat da hek was happening to me...
AND IT GOT WORSE AFTER PLAYING THE GAME!😭
Now it makes me cry every time I open the game and hear the music ... cous it feels like
i left something behind... something I never wanted to leave but had too cous I got no choice... something I had to move on too...
It just feels Nostalgic like remembering ur own childhood... but the only difference is... It was never yours.
Thats how you know how great the game realy is.
Love how you feel like its your own life that you lived for since you were a child. Like you were realy there...
Its basically the life I've dreamed of having.
I always say to my self
"Wow... the kid who actually gets to live a life like this sure is lucky. Hope they see how happy and content their life is and not think its dull and boring."
You rarely find a game like this. Like I mean Suuuper rare. A game that you dont ever want to end, cous it will also feel like ur life also went to an end with it...
Im scared and happy if it finally comes out. If it comes out you get to finally play it. But when you finish it well... yah know what will happen😅
So when it comes out We shall enjoy every Inch of it. Playing it as our own little life where we shall treasure every moment with it and finally it will come to an end...
Cous every thing has to end am'ai right?😅
Sorry for suddenly getting emotional😭
Pls its 12am!!!😭🤧
SO PLS JUST THINK OF IT AS UR RANDOM 12AM THOUGHTS!!!😭😭😭

Am I the only one who would like a Darren and Baxter romance option?
Of course not and maybe they will do it in a DLC, I mean, who wouldn't want to be with Baxter?
I was leaning more towards Darren but yea honestly, who wouldn’t? Lol
Darren? He who treats my tamarack badly, he does not deserve my affection
but people love tsunderes :3
if you're looking to romance baxter, you should check out the dlc on OLBA instead 🗣 i don't really see baxter getting an OLNF dlc after he already got one over there haha 😭
Actually!! There's a Baxter DLC in GBPatch other game! In this one, it's just Autumn and Tamarack!
i am devastatingly stuck between wanting to play the demo now or waiting until its finished ;-; does anyone have any opinions on this topic because im almost done with the OG 'our life' and absolutely ADORE it and this looks AMAZING ESPECIALLY CUZ MY FAVORATE SEASON IS FALL AND ORJFNEOSILTTEJG *sits in my corner conflickted
I JUST WATCHED THEE TRAILER YOU DONT UNDERSTEND I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS GAMR I AM VIBRATING WITH EXITEMENT RN I WOULD GIVE THIS GAME A BIG FREAKING HUG IF I COULD AUGHJHGGHGIOERPAHTIOSL
I say, play it, you won't be disappointed, and it'll show and let you experience a small amount of what will be in the future. I keep on replaying the demo and the first OL.
if im being honest, id wait till the full release!! idk waiting or each update is fr torture to me so unless you wanna be left wanting more, PLAY IT!!
you're not wrong it is torture after playing the demo but I think it was completely worth it. ugh I can't wait for this game to come out, does anyone know if there's an estimate on the release date? and will it have purchasable expansions like the OL1?
There is no exact date but they say that it will be at the end of 2025 and that it will have DLCs
sits sadly in the waiting corner
I need this now
LMAOO
this is unfortunately too real..
lord i want this game to be out so badly
not sure but are there any dlc for this oneee?
they said there will be, but not yet lol
I have heard of a new color update................
Hm.
During the day I'm just a man but at night I transform and end up being someone who suffers because this game hasn't come out yet
AAAAOOUUUUUUUU
You are so real for this
Same here. I check for updates almost daily I swear. I replay what's currently out to see if I'm missing any cool scenes. They've done an amazing job on this game so far!
exactly im here because im checking updates
im so sat for this game, the first our life holds such a very special place in my heart and i replay it so often, i cannot WAIT until this comes out. i know that it won't be until late next year at the earliest but i will wait. i will wait FOREVER if i have to.
Ok.. so quick question. I notice that the game is REALLY good, and very detailed. so, I was wondering if the User was going to have the option to have some sort of illness, kinda like the first Our Life where you could have body Dysphoria. Maybe things like depression, anxiety, or even suicidal thoughts. Not sure because this is normally very wholesome but i feel like it would be a nice addition. ^^
i just like the way it said "suicidal thoughts", in such a nice way, lol. BUT YES GBPATCH WE NEED AT LEAST ONE OF THESE IMPROVES!!!!
What you propose is interesting but I doubt that they will do it since they would have to add a lot of dialogues and that these would have a follow-up throughout the story, I think it is a good addition but they must already be somewhat advanced in the project, but it is never lost that possibility of being included
GBPATCH I SWEAR IF THIS IS NOT ADDED I WILL BE THE ONE WITH DEPRESSION
YES PLEASE> it would make it feel so much more real especially considering the fact stuff like that is through the roof
PLEASE> GB POR FAVOR THIS.
The sound track for this game is so good I just leave it open for background music, can't wait til the soundtrack gets uploaded
Someone uploaded the soundtrack to YouTube, yes I'm not mistaken, but it is not cropped (that is, the entire soundtrack in the same video)
I love this game sooo much!!! I can't wait for the full release! And the art is so good as well!! Does anybody know when it will be fully released?
so it will be released at the end of next year, you have to be patient as patience is essential.
Thanks!
Heya! quick question, but is there any way to keep Tammy and qiu friends in the step 2 preview??? I kinda want us to all stay as friends rather than us breaking up lol
There is no way per se, since our choices are just an interaction between us and another character, but in the story it will end up being the same no matter how hard we try.
I mean a canonical event.
NOT THE SPIDERMAN REF LMAOO, but ty for the clarification!
You're welcome friend, it never hurts to clarify some doubts.
kinda rude to say this but when is the update :( i always check this game every now n then
ok I'm already very confused, it will come out at the end of this or the next one
that looks literally like my cat... did i just found out his twin..?
I know this is such a small detail to ask about, but how are the more blunt choices taken by the other characters? I don't wanna choose them and end up realizing that whichever character I was interacting with took the bluntness in a negative way :'))
(If the question makes sense; I find it hard to word things sometimes)
It depends on your relationship and dynamic and the specific choice. Usually, you have to be unambiguously rude for them to think you're trying to be unkind, otherwise they take it as normal. Or they can like your bluntness if you have a close bond!
Ohh, alright. Thank you very much!! ^^ I'm glad it's set up that way :))
GB! GIVE US EYE BAGS AND TOP SURGERY SCARS AND MY LIFE IS YOURS!
THIS!!
yes.
Please.
YES PLEASE GB WE WILL SACRIFICE OUR SOULS FOR THIS TO HAPPEN PLEASE 🙏🙏🙏🙏
HELLO GB!!! One question, are you planning to upload the soundtrack of Our Life somewhere? I would like to enjoy it more often
Someday the soundtrack might be uploaded somewhere! But it'd only be after the game has fully released. Glad you like it.
you are cruel but fair
I have a question is walks and wheels playable. By that i mean do you have buy it is it free? Like for examples for step 2 preview a sneak peak or is it free?
It is in the base game if that is what you were asking
It is in the base game and some more moments will be free, the base game will be free but the expansions will be paid where they will add more scenes.
Great demo, a good introduction to the game. Can't wait to see what's in store for the full game!
So, I'm in like, my 10th playthrough and still haven't managed to get to the rain scene with tamarack with a red umbrella, is it just not on the demo? Cause I tried to say no to the dinner and just managed to invite someone to it.
There are no scenes with Tamarack's umbrella in the demo, I'm afraid. I post a lot of screenshots from the full game just as previews.
So, a "sprite" of tamarack holding an umbrella does exist, just not in the demo?
I tried seeing the "sprite" ever since I watched a yt thumbnail, and been thinking it was like a Mandela effect or smthg
Yes, she does have an umbrella! But you'll have to wait for the full game to launch to play that scene, or join the Patreon beta testing,
It's a nice story demo so far.
So hello hi hi 🤗 ... I loved the game 1mil out of 1mil but but but here's the problem now When is the full version gonna come out 😭 cause oh my god the story was just getting good and bam that was the end of the demo, bruh y'all really left me on a the hugest cliffhanger I've ever seen,. I so totes gotta know FAM when Is the full version coming out cause I gotta be the first one to download it🥰. Really amazing game❤️❤️❤️❤️
The full version, if I'm not wrong, will be released at the end of next year😭, but don't worry, the wait will be worth it.
Well now that is quite the long wait 🥲but YEAH! You're right, it's so totally gonna be worth the wait and wait.I.Shall 😌
frr i've been following this game for over two years now i'm so impatient for the final release of ittt xD
it can be!!
You could be the lesbian!!
Become the gay lesbian >:)
I hope you are well :D
This is a question I intended to ask on Tumblr but for some reason it is giving errors. Since I am very anxious, I decided to ask the question here. I hope this doesn't get in the way in any way 🙏.

Hi! I love this game! I was just wondering if there will be an IOS version. My android phone recently broke and now all I have is my iPad. I would LOVE if I could still play, even if I have to start over. Also yes, there is the apple ICON but it said it’s only for COMPUTERS. So I was wondering if you might be able to add that feature. 😁✌️
That's just not gonna work, big bro. If you're asking about MACOS, then you're all set, but for iPhone/iPad iOS... 💀 Ggs.
I'd suggest you save up and get a new android phone
Maybe someday it'll work for IOS mobile, but I don't know when we'd be able to get approval from Apple for that. I'm sorry!
Its okay :) ty anyways
Any news on when the full game will release? I am in love with these Our Life games. Gonna buy the Beginnings and Always dlc's soon. So i can do my 3rd playthrough. And am super excited for this one to fully release.

oooo I see, thanks!!
this game is so good but I’m sadly hoping for the game to release fully because it’s so good and I want to know what happened next
I fell in love with the game. I really loved it. Keep up the good work, I'm so impatient to see the step 2 and the step 3.
Really Good game,so Far im liking this one more then the First one,i really Like Tamarack,but i have a question:
Do you guys plan on making a scene/memory/moment where we meet out father? Even if it was a really short thing,i think It would be really nice,in the First game,our parents are dead,but i this one (if i got it right) he was a sperm donor or something alike,so i really think it would be Nice knowing him
I think this is quite difficult because if he shows up he will have to rely on our appearance right? (I used translation to write this comment sorry if it has bad grammar)(╥﹏╥)
Indeed,it would be neat tho
maybe... or we could be a mix up lmao, IMAGINE IF THE GUY WAS LIKE, CHINESE AND U DID A CAUCASIAN CHARACTER💀💀
I'm glad you like the demo! But I'm afraid you won't meet the dad. He's not in the MC's life specifically so we don't have to create another highly customizable character, aha.
👍
I'm amazed by how much content there was in the demo! I had a lovely time experiencing these friends meet, among other things. One particular favorite facet of this is how specifically it remembers your choices: Tamarack asked if my character was a girl. I replied "sometimes" to match myself, and throughout the remainder of Step 1 my character was introduced as "sometimes a girl." It's peak. Can't wait to play more! (Note: I have not yet investigated the Step 2 preview.)
Hello, I'm wondering if the game will still be free after the other 2 steps? I hope it's not going too be paid or anything 😊
There will be optional paid dlcs, but ir soptional, not needed
Hi! Can i ask how many characters in total are gonna be in the game? ☺️
I think there's about twenty characters in total. Step 3 and 4 aren't fully planned, though. And not all of the characters will be in every Step.
Hello !
I was a supporter on patreon for like a year, until I unfortunately had to cancel my subscription due to my financial situation changing. It's with great regrets that I had to stop, but I am still frequently checking on the game's progress ! I want to thank all of the GBPatch team for their great work !
So, I last played the 1.3.3 beta from when I was still a supporter. I'm going to play the demo 1.4.0 and write my thoughts there.
First, the new pronoun settings : I love the changes ! I especially enjoy being able to use fem, masc, gender neutral, etc, at the same time ! Even tho I don't use this feature it's not usually a possibility and I think much fellow queer people will enjoy this new feature ! The new interface is also very pleasurable. The question marks are very much appreciated, especially when english is not your native language.
Uh oh ! Error screen ahah. I guess it's from picking "continue". I'll make a brand new save. Here is the full error in case you might want it.
Okay, so ! Brand new save !
I see new haircuts I think ! I love these ! So much possibilities ! A lot of hair types, that is great ! I also love the added filters, very much appreciated. So many new outfits, including traditional clothing ! That's amazing.
If I am not mistaken, it wasn't possible to change the facial expression by clicking the camera ! I also don't think ambidextrous was a possibility either ? Might be wrong tho ! Either way I love these opportunities !
NO WAY
FREQUENCY BUTTONS FOR PRONOUNS?!?!
Okay this is unprecedented. What a great feature.
New stickers too ! I love the additions !
There are now sometimes two pages of choices ! Ahah ! I think some illustrations changed too ! Nice improvement.
I see new dialogues, they add details, nice. Nice addition of "Autumn" as a nickname for Qiu ! Added dialogue during the walk to school, that's cool ! Cannot imagine that moment without it now ! I like that every speaking character has their face made with the character editor in the textbox. Adddition of race and nationality, good ! Backyard dialogue w Tamarack !!
I think the room customization got an upgrade too ! Wow !
Thank you for supporting us and for the feedback. The error you got might be because there's conflicting info from the beta build and the demo. But it hopefully won't be a problem with later updates/the completed version!
eversince i saw this demo i always wanted to ask, since the game takes place in fall/autumn will there be a halloween scene? or atleast a dlc?
I curse you gb patch for making this my daily routine
Made an account literally just so I could comment on here lmao
Okay, so basically, THIS WAS SO GOOD HOLY CRAP??? The writing, the characters, EVERYTHING is so good I was actually so sad when i got to the end of the preview. This is one of those games where after you play it, you can't play anything else because everything will pale in comparison.
And then the art? The characters are gorgeous (Qiu is so cute omg), but the scenery just blew me away. I had to pause at moments and go "wow someone actually drew this" because they were so detailed and nice to look at.
Normally I prefer more darker, graphic visual novels but this was amazing. The cutesy atmosphere paired with the childlike point of view made my heart so happy (it also hurt a bit but we don't talk about that), and the world felt decently fleshed out. I really felt like I was just a little kid who just moved to an unfamiliar neighborhood, and that my choices would actually shape my life and relationships from then on.
I also can't tell if i'm just going crazy or in the preview for step 2 the world seemed a lot less bright, like we lost our childlike wonder or whatever? If so, then that's a really cool detail. Also the shift in personalities for both Tamarack and Qiu was really intriguing, I can't wait to see more of how that came to be and how it gets expanded on.
Overall, this game was a joy and pleasantly heartwarming, which I kinda needed right now. I'm looking forward to playing more as you continue to develop and release more portions of the game! Have a great rest of your day or night! :)
Help i also made this account just for this stupid silly game
IK RIGHT!!!😭
After playing this game I tried To play other dating sims and stuff but nothing clicked!😭
I even tried to buy an expensive one with its dlc just me to forget OL2 but nothing happened!!!😭
AND I DONT EVEN WANT TO PLAY A GAME WHERE IT COST TONS OF MONEY!😭 OR BETTER YET, LIKE NO MONEY AT ALL!!!😭 FOR SHORT FREE!
REALY I SPENT LIKE 30 EUROS OR SOMETHING!!!😭
There is the truth of Not because its more expensive dossent mean its better.
That phrase hit me harder than my dads belt!!!😭
felt like all the other games went dull and nothing is enjoyable anymore😭
The art was an art I've never ever seen on a game before. Like it feels warm and cozy despite it being autumn. The soundtrack was just perfect. basically THERE IS NO OTHER GAME LIKE IT!
also Im same as you... I never thought I'd enjoy a cute game such as this... This game was a real eye opener on finding a new genre.
Im happy I just randomly spotted this game on itch while searching for some free yuri games and just so happens that its free😅
Like I didn't even understood the mechanics of the game...
I thought I would play as qui cous he lookd like a girl and Im targeting Tamarak. But boy was I surprised that It was nothing I've thought of😅
Instead... It was ✨️Better
✨️the first time ive opened the game like just on the menu screen When I heard the music something warm just suddenly appeared inside me... Like suddenly I felt like someone was hugging me... It felt so emotional that I couldn't understand wat da hek was happening to me...
AND IT GOT WORSE AFTER PLAYING THE GAME!😭
Now it makes me cry every time I open the game and hear the music ... cous it feels like
i left something behind... something I never wanted to leave but had too cous I got no choice... something I had to move on too...
It just feels Nostalgic like remembering ur own childhood... but the only difference is... It was never yours.
Thats how you know how great the game realy is.
Love how you feel like its your own life that you lived for since you were a child. Like you were realy there...
Its basically the life I've dreamed of having.
I always say to my self
"Wow... the kid who actually gets to live a life like this sure is lucky. Hope they see how happy and content their life is and not think its dull and boring."
You rarely find a game like this. Like I mean Suuuper rare. A game that you dont ever want to end, cous it will also feel like ur life also went to an end with it...
Im scared and happy if it finally comes out. If it comes out you get to finally play it. But when you finish it well... yah know what will happen😅
So when it comes out We shall enjoy every Inch of it. Playing it as our own little life where we shall treasure every moment with it and finally it will come to an end...
Cous every thing has to end am'ai right?😅
Sorry for suddenly getting emotional😭
Pls its 12am!!!😭🤧
SO PLS JUST THINK OF IT AS UR RANDOM 12AM THOUGHTS!!!😭😭😭
you might enjoy "oiur life: begginnings and always" from the sam developers !
THE TEACHER IS SO HOT
This is an opinion!
