actually so, soooo good. qiu lin is me if i was cool as a kid theyre so me.. the customization and indepth of this visual novel blew me away!!! i picked a bandage js cz and the way when qiu lin bought it up i gasped!?!? in another playthrough i had, they noted i had poor mood as well which is so so impressive and made me feel so immersed into this game
honestly playing as someone who didnt experience this sort of childhood i felt myself tear up a little when i finished stage 1 even if that was silly.,,.,. you really made me FEEL the bond between the mother n mc, and the very adorable friendship between them all which made me sooo emotional. seeing how stage 2 is starting i really love the way this game goes. truly i sat around kinda grieving afterwards playing stage 1 and teared up LMFAO so imo you set the scene very well, i felt it very strongly
anyways im sooo excited to see how this game continue to get updates ^^ ill be following you all :)
I'd greatly appreciate a name pronunciation, I'm not sure I am saying Qiu name correctly in my head I thought it was like "Q" but Google says it would be similar to "chee oo" like "chew" I think?
If you get the game semi voice acted I really hope they voice the characters introducing themselves the very first time.
I'm sorry for that. Have played prior versions that could have left old data on the device or is this the first time you've ever launched the game? And can you mention what the trackback says and if you're using the PC, Mac, or Android version?
There's a tutorial in the game you read that has all the details about how dynamics work! But being envious of means they wish they had things the MC does or they think the MC's life is better. Being jealous over means they are defensive over their relationship with the MC and feel uncomfortable when the MC gives a lot of positive attention to others.
I love how it feels that every decision you take influences the game and the way the clothes you choose to wear also affects some of the text is so cool <3
I know, and she's my favorite character so far, but when I saw his adult version for the first time I got the impression that he likes food quite a bit xD
Yeah, the full game will be out in late 2025. But we'll add more to the demo about six months or so from the prior update, which was in May. There's no set release date for that, though.
HOW DID I MISS THAT BAXTER WAS LEGIT BAXTER OMG. I didn't play his DLC in B&A until recently (the first time i played this i had only done Cove's free story) so it didn't hit me until they said his initials were B.A.W. this is so bittersweet to me now cuz of how he said the friendships ended
I played the game on android and I'm absolutely smitten with the game! The art, the story, the events, the characters, everything is amazing! This is a peak masterpiece! I can hardly wait for the full game! I also loved how relatable a lot of things in the game! Thanks for the devs hardwork!
Great Game I was so happy when I played it. But I'm sad this is just a demo but I'm waiting for the full version. So great job and keep up the good Work
PS: I like the Customization very much other Customization should be just like yours i really like it and your the whole reason i started playing these types of games <3
Question, when are Qiu and Tamarack's birthdays? I wanted to post their birthday art but I'm unsure if there were any info of when are there birthdays. Thank you!
Old saves may not work with the new version because there are various changes to the code, so it is best not to try using them in the updated build. I'm sorry for that.
The plot of the game really amazed me. The characters of the game is what got me hooked! The way you can choose your own path and develop your relationships with them on your own way is what stood out to me. I've only ever done one play through of the demo since I don't really enjoy replaying games. It's customization is also great! I like the character creator and how beginner friendly the game is! I love the concept and it's the first OL game I've ever played. One problem though, it's that I can't find any flaws in the game ! I wonder how this would turn out on it's full release. Excited for the next update!
Jealousy will never happen because of the choices you make, it's turned off by default so no one accidentally ends up with it. If you want jealousy, you'll need to click on the dynamic screen settings at the start of Step 2. You can change the dynamic manually to whatever you want for both yourself and the leads that way.
I was enjoying the demo, but it crashes after 30 minutes or so every time I try to use the app. Now, it doesn't open at all. The app loads then closes and opens a notepad with data.
I'm sorry it is struggling to run. You could try clearing more space on the device or turning off the animations on the setting page to make it easier to load!
I am using a laptop so it has plenty of space! The app won't even load anymore, and I cannot get to the settings page. The app's loading screen pops up with the paper airplane, then it just shows the notepad with a bunch of text. I am able to play the first Our Life, as well as many other games (mmos, vns, etc) without issue.
B&A had a male love interest (or multiple, if you have the DLC), and N&F will have a nonbinary (Genderfluid) and female love interest (Plus whatever DLC will come out). In other words, GBPatch is single-handedly fueling my bisexuality
this game is to cute! I cant wait for the full one to be out (I will literally wait forever for it) Our life B&A has been my favourite forever, Im so glad I found this one!
I do not know how to explain this. But, this is the most enjoyable game throughout 2024! The characters are cute, especially Tamarack. She feels huggable!
Just general feedback, I wish I could make the text bigger on the phone version I currently have it set to maximum size and it's still very small for me. I also don't see a way to switch from comic version to visual novel version. It would also be nice if the colors were named on the character creator.
I'm sorry about the text size. If you want the VN version of the textbox, you can click "simple textbox" on the settings page. And the character creator can show you the names of colors if you turn on color assistance from the settings page.
Thank you so much, I really like the comic style I just wanna compare the styles. I'm glad the color assistant names the colors, I struggle with my greens and blues.
I'm using the apk, and when I open the app, it shows the loading screen, and then just a black screen. It doesn't do anything afterthat. I'm using android 10 is that helps.
I'm sorry for that. You might need more space or to change the settings of your device/firewall to allow the game to be launched since it is a third party app.
I can't be Patience,🤣🤣🤣I just wait to see my baby Qin and my Best friend Tammy i am OL:B&A, fan I made posters and bodypillows of them i can't i have dreams of them. until then my friends Heart, Heart, Kiss, Kiss, Love, Love, can't wait to see you guys💖💖💖😁😘🤗🤩
Awesome sauce, 10/10! I had a small question though, as a OL:B&A player, when changing step you have the option of changing Cove's looks and personality, will it be the same in this game? ( Qiu is pretty with every haircut anyway but im still curious )
You can change the dynamic they have with you and alter small accessories/their hairstyle. But you can't change the full outfit like you could with Cove.
It's the same as before! There's five free Moments and five more you can unlock by getting a paid DLC in Steps 1-3. Step 4 is an epilogue and doesn't have separate Moments.
This is worth everything. The game itself is so immersive, I love every characters and damn...
spoiler alert
The massive difference in terms of Qiu and Tamarack's personality back when they were kids... qwq It's too freaking relatable and I love it... I hope that the full version of the game would be released soon or at least step 2! It's amazing, seriously! Regardless of the massive shift in personality, I'm still on my tippy-ties for more!!! Thank you for the game devs for bringing such a wonderful game!!! A massive salute! ૧(ꂹີωꂹີૂ)(❁´◡`❁)
No, I don't want to do birthday Moments again and again every Step, but it'd be odd if it didn't come up some years. So none of them will have birthdays during the months of the game.
From all the visual novels I play this your games are my favorite I played the other game u made I like this one cause its more realistic ! But overall I love ALL your games
🇧🇷 Hello, I don't know if you will answer me but I loved this game it was my first light novel game I was impressed because here in Brazil we lack such good games so keep up the great work and thank you for bringing such a game with a lot of customization keep it up great work
I don't know how to speak English so sorry for any typos
This is mainly to complain, but dang it this game has forever ruined other visual novels for me. The characters are the most endearing characters in any game I've ever played. The writing is so good, and the idea of the game in general is something I've barely ever seen. I love the game, but it's set the standard for visual novels for me. Also, I swear this game has given be diabetes just because of how sweet it is.

Theres gonna be a sleep over moment if that's exciting
I love this Demo so much <3 and honestly I cannot wait for more <3

Qiu's name isn't pronounced like the letter "Q". Here's a video showing how it's said!
Thank you so much!
I think in their Patreon Q&As they pronounce it as 'cho', but I could be wrong!
Every time I try to start the game something called a “traceback” comes up and I can’t start the game, does anyone know how to fix it?
I'm sorry for that. Have played prior versions that could have left old data on the device or is this the first time you've ever launched the game? And can you mention what the trackback says and if you're using the PC, Mac, or Android version?
so far one of the best visual novels I've ever played, very excited for the full release
Quick question! The jealousy thing, how does it work?? Like do they get jealous of the MC or each other???
There's a tutorial in the game you read that has all the details about how dynamics work! But being envious of means they wish they had things the MC does or they think the MC's life is better. Being jealous over means they are defensive over their relationship with the MC and feel uncomfortable when the MC gives a lot of positive attention to others.
oh! Thanks, the explanation helped a lot!!
I love how it feels that every decision you take influences the game and the way the clothes you choose to wear also affects some of the text is so cool <3
Is it me or does Tamarack look fatter in the last part of her age?
Because she is bigger, and she's very pretty!
I know, and she's my favorite character so far, but when I saw his adult version for the first time I got the impression that he likes food quite a bit xD
Cant wait for the update
As people get bigger, they get larger
thats a bit.. rude to say?? you could've worded it differently atleast
When will the next update be? (Like in what month-?)
The full game will be out next year but don't be disappointed bro, it will surely be completely worth the wait.
Yeah, the full game will be out in late 2025. But we'll add more to the demo about six months or so from the prior update, which was in May. There's no set release date for that, though.

Question, when are Qiu and Tamarack's birthdays? I wanted to post their birthday art but I'm unsure if there were any info of when are there birthdays. Thank you!
I haven't chosen birthday for them yet, aha.
How can I add the new expansion without deleting my old saves?
Old saves may not work with the new version because there are various changes to the code, so it is best not to try using them in the updated build. I'm sorry for that.
Aw man, well thank you for answering. Such an awesome game! :)

Loved it! The game was adorable, I can't wait for further development!!
how does the jealousy thing work exactly? idk im just curious (aka i want to see if i can make the other characters jealous)

Try reinstalling the game, run it as administrator or run in compatibility mode.
if you have a steam account to can add it as a game, that usually works for me
B&A had a male love interest (or multiple, if you have the DLC), and N&F will have a nonbinary (Genderfluid) and female love interest (Plus whatever DLC will come out). In other words, GBPatch is single-handedly fueling my bisexuality
this game is actually going to be so peak, I can feel it
this game is to cute! I cant wait for the full one to be out (I will literally wait forever for it) Our life B&A has been my favourite forever, Im so glad I found this one!
SAMEEEE, I absolutely love this game <3
1. This update is sooooo cool! And i love how i was able to move the pictures in the moments. I cant wait for more linked moments.
2. Seeing Qiu and Tamarack change from 1 to 2 hurt my heart! Poor babies
I do not know how to explain this. But, this is the most enjoyable game throughout 2024! The characters are cute, especially Tamarack. She feels huggable!

PRETTY SURE YEAH GBpatch said that it will be possible to change small accessories and hairstyles
You can change the dynamic they have with you and alter small accessories/their hairstyle. But you can't change the full outfit like you could with Cove.
played the game before when it was only up to where you first meet baxter and came back 2 years later and SO FAR I LOVE IT GADSJGHASGHA
I love qiu AND he does dance?? 😍AND THEN TAMARACK IS SUCH A CUTIE SHE LOOKS SO HUGGABLE 😭
How many memories are you gonna make per step is it gonna be 5 like the previous our life or different
It's the same as before! There's five free Moments and five more you can unlock by getting a paid DLC in Steps 1-3. Step 4 is an epilogue and doesn't have separate Moments.

Hey quick question how to get that Ballet scene with Qiu?
That's not in the demo, I'm afraid. Sometimes the stuff we share on socials are just sneak peeks of the full game.
same question tbh 😭
You can't in the demo content. But there will be chances in the full game!
is step 2 out yet?
i tried to google but it gave me nothing.
love this game so much.
It's not. The only scenes of Step 2 that I've written are in the demo. Nothing else of it exists right now, aha.
tysm. love your game. 🫶🏽
Hello, I wanted to know if our protagonist, Qiu or Tamarack, will have any birthday events?
No, I don't want to do birthday Moments again and again every Step, but it'd be odd if it didn't come up some years. So none of them will have birthdays during the months of the game.
Got it, thanks for responding
No, I'm afraid I haven't heard of that.
