Ahhhhhh I'd love to see a Cove cameo, but I doubt it since there are so many options to customize Cove in B&A. Who knows though! Maybe we will be surprised. :D
yeah good point. But imagine if we could load a save file from b&a into n&f, determining his characteristics. What is he even mentioned the player name from that save?
Although now that i think about it, i do NOT want a shiloh cameo. Like, the step 3 dlc handled shiloh kinda weirdly, made him kinda... not intentionally mean, but still mean. As if he moved on with his life and his new friends took priority over his old ones. And i dont want that FRECKLED FUCKFACE on my screen. Istg, every time hes on screen, my screen feels dirty. I just have the urge to wipe my screen.
It's wonderful you've enjoyed the OL games :D! Yes, the Our Life games take place in the same world, so does our older game XOXO Droplets (that's where Shiloh and Jeremy are from). Baxter is the only cameo from Our Life: Beginnings & Always, but you'll meet someone who knows Shiloh and Jeremy because they're another cameo from XOXO Droplets.
And yeah, the Patreon beta does have an android version.
I got the insider teir. That has the extended beta. But the step 1-3 bonus moments, the wedding dlc, and Derek and Baxters dlc are all additional purchases
Once again, GBPatch shows how dominant they are at crafting immensely detailed and tailored Visual Novel experiences. Having played beginnings and always, as well as all the dlc content that game had to offer, and placing glowing reviews on them, naturally my sight turns to see at what else GBPatch has to offer. And I must say, they have delivered. You may notice when playing b&a that the developers learned a lot during the process of developing it, with features such as room design only appearing at the third step. But here, we have it in step one, meaning that GBPatch is taking the experience they had from their previous masterpiece and applying it here. And perhaps the most startling difference between these games is the introduction of a second romancable character. I am incredibly excited to see the dynamic this creates in future steps, and am on board to buy all the dlc content, as they have never steered me wrong before. I do understand that the amount of effort and time to create Now and Forever is much more than that of beginnings and always, with two different reactive characters creating far more potential dialogue than just little Cove Holden. Nonetheless, I am willing to wait for the full game, and have complete confidence that it will be not just as good, but even better than their previous works!
I just played the demo of this game, and I’m simply in love with Qiu. So adorable ♥️✨
I’m really looking forward to the release of this game!
I just have one question. I wouldn’t even call it a question, but more of a curiosity. In some conversations with Qiu, words often appear in italics, and I’m not sure if it’s meant to emphasize what Qiu is saying or something like that?
Oh yes! I imagined it was something like that. But I still had doubts because most of the time it was just Qiu who had these italics. I rarely see any italics in conversations with Tamarack, so I thought it might be something different! 🤌✨
i think it wont have anything +18, in Our life Beginnings and Always i think there's dlc's that actually haves +18 scenes and stuff and probably will be the same for Now and Forever
I'm glad you like the demo. But I would rate this as better for teens and adults rather than 12-year-olds. There will be some swearing, sensitive topics, and optional suggestiveness.
i love the our life games and ive been a huge fan since like 2022ish, not to mention the game has actual parrells to my childhood (which isnt that long ago since im only 25). Also, i was wondering if there might be DLCs for the game once everything is completed. (also you should of seen me when baxter popped up on the screen during my first play through i got sooo excited)
GB patch is planning to release Step 1, 2 and 3 DLCs (extra moments just like in OL1) and a wedding DLC^^! That's all if i recall right, though (no side characters DLCs this time).
I really, really, really love this game I can't wait for the full version to come out also my pc will not download the demo update what should I do??. I really want to play it.
This is my first comment of all of itch.io and I'm glad it's about this game.
Starting: what's there more to say? I mean all I think about the game has already been told, I absolutely love everything about it, it's funny cute, its already one of my favorite games
I got a question though, is there a way to make Qiu go back on the right path? I really hope so.
Also I know it's a story thing, but I'd like to the both of them to not change so dramatically, probably this won't happen in the full release so, I'm looking eagerly waiting for it.
I don't usually write reviews, but i felt i had to say something…
I know it's gonna sound kinda silly, if not a bit pathetic, but as someone that was bullied and alone my whole childhood and didn't really have proper teenage years, this game is healing… like, literally healing me emotionally… i have only played the prologue but it already took so many smiles and tears from me… it's so beautiful and so masterfully crafted, i can feel myself in this world… all the little details, the choices, the whole dynamic, it's perfect.
I don't usually play these kinds of games, but this one is too well made for me to pass up… i can say with confidence it's in my top 10 games ever because it has everything I like, from character customization to the aesthetic of fall, to having many choices of how to express myself.
Hello! I was wondering something, as I know in the other "Our life" game there were verbal name options, but I was wondering if you can use a voiced name but change how the name is spelt? I usually use "Jun" as a name but I pronounce it as "June". So I was wondering if (and only if) you have the name "June" requested would it be possible for me to use "Jun"?
Yes! Once voice names are implemented it will be possible to choice the "voice" and then spell the name however you want it. But I don't know if Jun/June will end up in the game as an option right now.
Gotta say great choice for choosing whoever drew this character art id say its more my style (perfect mix of cute and beautiful). So far this games looking better than the first one i didnt think that was possible. Oh and i gotta ask will qiu and tamaracks interaction at the step two prolog change if we do more memories because we only have 6 so far (patreon beta if your confused only 2 memories for the public demo) and will it change with all 10
omg i love this game!! i love how many options there is every time!! the fact that I can go throgh the entier game without talking is insaine and means a lot to me
this is one of the best games I have played and its still in develompet so thats says a lot
I wanted to ask if there will be more hair textors in the future? like maybe carly hair? I know the is alredy a coily hair options but I didnt see any curly ones. so I just wanted to ask in case you haven't even thoght about it since I have never in my life saw a curly option..
also are you plannig adding some kind of religions options? because I whold love for my character to be jewish :))
thank you so much for even making this game its already amazing in any way possibole! :) also sorry for bothering you with my stuff I know you are like super besy. hope you have a great day! <333
( english is not my netive tongue and I know I made a lot of spelling mistekes but lets ignore them)
I'm happy you enjoy the game! There will be more hair options added in the future. But we're not able to add MC religion into the story. It'd be too difficult to write all the alterations that'd be needed for the MC to properly follow a range of different religious practices. And it wouldn't make sense if you could simply say you were religious, but then didn't follow any of the teachings.
is there polyamorous option in the demo or a hint of it yet? Imnot greedy or anything but I cant stand the thought of breaking one of their hearts, abide if its a "we can stay best friends" situation then It wouldnt be bad I guess, heck, Imma download it and try it out myself
If you play until the step two sneak peek. There's a small little preview if you're willing to put the poly options in just for a little sneak peek. It's very minor though
Dev plans to add a polyamorous choice eventually but it'll be a V-relationship. You cannot enter a polyamorous relationship with both LIs until Step 4! If you look at the Development Log you can see a post about it :)
Hihi! I was just wondering, since there's gonna be a polyamorous option in Our Life 2, is there going to be a QPR (Queer Platonic Relationship) option when the time comes to release the full game? I don't mind if there won't be, I just thought it would be a ncie feature, considering I'm on the aromantic spectrum myself :D
Hello! For the Kickstarter, I remember one of the tiers is being able to have your name/name of choice voiced when voice actors come in I think? will there be anything like that in the future, I missed the Kickstarter but I'm hoping there will be another opportunity to have a name voiced. This is unrelated but tysm for making non-verbal options in the game, it's nice to see visual novels have that option especially since I'm nonverbal myself it's very comforting!
I'm sorry, we can't accept more names at this point. There's well over a thousand already and we can't handle managing additional requests, aha. But I'm glad you've enjoyed the choices!
Hello! I just finished playing my first walkthrough of the game and wanted to know what being surly to either of the two meant. I noticed that for Qiu, you can be sarcastic or mean towards them in Step 2. Does being surly mean your friendship/relationship with the character is like being mean besties? Maybe, I'm way off haha.
Being surly means you insult them, get annoyed by them, and dismiss the fact that you're friends or act like you're not. It's having a bad attitude, haha.
This is my review before i play this game, future me, please, let me know if my opinions are still the same.
I'm truly amazed by how much different, yet equal, both GBPatch (Our Life) games are, i had saw this game about months ago, but only actually came here to read the description and see how it's going now, after playing Our Life: Beginnings And Always.
I'm sure this game will be just as amazing as every Visual Novel i've already played on Itch Io, yet with that special touch that only a GBPatch's game has.
Still didn't play it as it is still on Demo and i get too anxious when waiting for a game to be fully published after playing it's Demo, which is why i'll wait until the full game gets published.
Now for my current views of the characters and what i think and like about each one.
Qiu “Autumn” Lin
YOU STOLE MY SURNAME, lol, normally i would use ''Autumn'' as the surname of my OC in every game possible, first time there's already a character with this surname, i'll have to think about a new one just so i can play it whithout sounding strangely like i'm related to Qiu :'(
Who knows, maybe i'll use Holden :>
Jokes aside, i found they/he extremely cute, i absolutely love how he's always using a fur coat in each of theirs/his clothes.
For me, they/he looks like a social butterfly that end up more distant and introvert as the years went by or get trought a ''mom leave me alone'' phase, either one, i absolutely adore they/him.
He strongly reminds me of Jacob(The Twilight Saga) and i don't know why.
Tamarack Baumann
I just feel like she's the main character, dunno why, she's just as cute as Qin, yet she gives me Willow(The Owl House) vibes.
From the description i'm sure she was bullied, i'll make sure to make those bullies eat dirt as soon as i play the game, she's just so precious...
I absolutely love her hair color, reminds me strongly of the sunset(idk why, her hair is orange).
She reminds me of my real life crush, fr, i'll conquer you heart Tamarack, just wait for it.
I love that we have the option of polyamory, i myself never played much games that allowed the MC to stay with more than one person, you should always choose one, which would end up with me playing all the routes with each character :')
From the description, i believe, but ain't sure, that Qin and Tamarack aren't the only characters you can romance, but the main ones, which is also something i love.
As i said before, this is a review before playing the game, so my thoughts may be wrong or may change after playing it, looking foward to do my next review after i play it, for now, as i didn't played it, i give it a 8/10 from what i currently think, but for sure it will change when i play it.
GBPatch, your games are absolutely fine, charming may suit better, i love it, please continue developing these lovely pieces of art. <3
So im on mobile and did the short prolong of the game. Then got the section were it asks what is Tamarack to me. I can't go further past this page unfortunately. I click my selection but it won't let me click Done ??
How can you go back to a specific chapter of the game? Like I wanna go back to the linked memories but when I cliked the stage 2, at the end it just says thank you, but then I wont be able to go back to the linked memories.
If you have a save before you picked any Moments, then you're good to go. But you don't have a save, then i hope this helps. If your mouse has a scroll wheel, i think you can move it up as a way to go back until you reach the Moments Selection page.
Here is the mouse controls guide in the game.
There are also controls of the keyboard (Page Up and Page Down) but for some reason, they don't work for me.
Hello, I was just contemplating something. You've done summer and fall type of visual novels so far, does that mean you'll also do winter and spring types in the future?
I just played the extended demo and it was great!! It felt kind of short though zooming to highschool already. It felt like i just got to golden grove and then now they're saying I've been there forever. I hope there is some additional scenes in the final game! I also played the preview for step 2. It was kind of sad seeing the changes between Tamarack and Qiu's relations. I really wished we could've been a best friend trio.
I'm sorry it's not working. There can be a lot of reasons. It might be because of your settings, not enough space, a virus scanner not trusting the file, because there's old builds of the game on the device that are confusing the install, etc. If you can give me more details I could try and suggest something.
What do you mean by my settings? Can you please elaborate? and I have enough space to download or install more apps, and I don't think it has detect any virus on the game because if it has it would notify me. So I guess it only left with the settings.
I mean your device's settings for allowing downloads and third party apps. Sometimes phones will simply not let you download something because of their own terms or permissions. I don't know exactly what they'd be because I don't know what you're using. I'm sorry. You could try searching online for the specific device you have and tutorials for letting apps install not through the playstore.
Hi again! Thank you for suggestions because I finally installed the game. But one question, why is the game (demo) on update 1.4.0? Which step 2 is only on preview stage and when I'm going to the school scene, it ends there, and I noticed that in the mini-adventures ( the picture album), only the walks and wheels is on there, there's no hide and seek, the magic, the dance class,and the sleep over. (I'm not trying to be rude, this is just how I type in english, which is my second language and I'm still not very good at it.) Thank you!
It depends on the virus scanner you have. You can sometimes just ignore the warning, or there's a way to tell the scanner to trust this file, or you can turn it off for a moment while the game installs and then put it back on. I'm afraid I can't know for sure what your solution would be.
En nuestros casos debemos esperar una traducción de un externo o interno. El juego es increíble por lo que jugué y ya no puedo esperar por el juego completo, el cual, además será gratuito creo... Es fascinante, no creí que lo dejarían gratis.
wow people come down Jesus I don't think the game is bad and sexual content is not the only thing I'm playing this game for I'm just saying a little bit of love is good in a romance game and they don't have to show it reading it is good too and the reason I was confused about the no sexual content is because the game itself comes up on porn game websites and it has some very unique tags so I was surprised that's all I still love this game and I will continue to support the devs anyways so cool your jets. And what kind of sexual content are you guys thinking about I'm not saying they should all get naked and start doing stuff god dame I'm just talking about kissing and some light stuff dame.
Those website are pirating sites. They steal any game they think has or will have adult content. They just made up whatever weird tags it might have on their site. I can't stop porn sites from re-uploading our content, but OL2 is not an adult game. The only official places to download it are Itch.io and Steam. If you find it somewhere else, be careful you don't get a virus.
Hola shamola, Love the game already, i swear to the skies and universal entities i will be playing your games even when i turn 30. And that speaks volumes since i'm only in my teens. 😗👍
I like darren, he's kind of cute (reminds me of Ajax). And i honestly cant wait till this game is finished!!! OMG! The smallest detail?! Like the moles i have? Baxter mentioning them?? WOAH??? Honestly, i love this game already. I cant get enough!
I keep replaying from the beginning every time the game gets an update i want it to be done soo bad but i also want the devs to keep cooking like the last game im so torn

Now, aside from my actual review, I have a few questions for the developers.
firstly, is there shared universe potential for this game and the other our life? Or our we left to speculate?
Secondly, is the patreon only demo staged for android?
Well, Baxter is in both games and seems to be the same character.
True. Begs the question, might we get other character appearances? Like Jeremy, or shiloh? Or do I dare hope... cove?
Ahhhhhh I'd love to see a Cove cameo, but I doubt it since there are so many options to customize Cove in B&A. Who knows though! Maybe we will be surprised. :D
yeah good point. But imagine if we could load a save file from b&a into n&f, determining his characteristics. What is he even mentioned the player name from that save?
Although now that i think about it, i do NOT want a shiloh cameo. Like, the step 3 dlc handled shiloh kinda weirdly, made him kinda... not intentionally mean, but still mean. As if he moved on with his life and his new friends took priority over his old ones. And i dont want that FRECKLED FUCKFACE on my screen. Istg, every time hes on screen, my screen feels dirty. I just have the urge to wipe my screen.
I love how this comment went from polite to rage in a sentence
It's wonderful you've enjoyed the OL games :D! Yes, the Our Life games take place in the same world, so does our older game XOXO Droplets (that's where Shiloh and Jeremy are from). Baxter is the only cameo from Our Life: Beginnings & Always, but you'll meet someone who knows Shiloh and Jeremy because they're another cameo from XOXO Droplets.
And yeah, the Patreon beta does have an android version.
Consider me a patreon then. Ima go buy rhat right now
Y'know, last time i was a patreon, the patreon beta only went as far as the first moment. And now there are 6? WOOOOOO!
which tier did you buy to get extra moments? by tier i mean like the supporters fans and other options.
I got the insider teir. That has the extended beta. But the step 1-3 bonus moments, the wedding dlc, and Derek and Baxters dlc are all additional purchases

i love qiu so much omgggg I'm really excited to see what the other steps will be like!
I just played the demo of this game, and I’m simply in love with Qiu. So adorable ♥️✨
I’m really looking forward to the release of this game!
I just have one question. I wouldn’t even call it a question, but more of a curiosity. In some conversations with Qiu, words often appear in italics, and I’m not sure if it’s meant to emphasize what Qiu is saying or something like that?
It's great you enjoyed the demo! The italics is just a text-based way to convey an emphasis in tone of voice.
Oh yes! I imagined it was something like that. But I still had doubts because most of the time it was just Qiu who had these italics. I rarely see any italics in conversations with Tamarack, so I thought it might be something different! 🤌✨
GBPatch, I was wondering when the full game is released if it will be appropriate for ages 12+, because I’m 12 and I’m already in love with the demo
i think it wont have anything +18, in Our life Beginnings and Always i think there's dlc's that actually haves +18 scenes and stuff and probably will be the same for Now and Forever
I'm glad you like the demo. But I would rate this as better for teens and adults rather than 12-year-olds. There will be some swearing, sensitive topics, and optional suggestiveness.
I understand, thank you anyway!
this game is spectacular so far. cant wait for the full release.
i thought the title was nut your life XD
but great looking game though
peak

Maybe go to command center to delete it then redownload it? Im also pretty sure its available on steam if your still struggling.
Thanks, theresie

Alright! Thank you so much for answering. This was very helpful.

Why it lowkeys makes me sad it's just a demo— I wanna live in an autumn only world damn it 😔
Okay but imagine how much extra clothes you to buy need to stay warm
Jokes on you that's a bonus in my book 😎😎
Wouldnt food cost like 5 bucks more cuz its colder and groeing stuff in the cold is harder
Imagine just like eggs for 20 bucks and milk fof 30
My brother in Christ i live in southeast Asia and is a child, i won't give a damn lmao
Gotta say great choice for choosing whoever drew this character art id say its more my style (perfect mix of cute and beautiful). So far this games looking better than the first one i didnt think that was possible. Oh and i gotta ask will qiu and tamaracks interaction at the step two prolog change if we do more memories because we only have 6 so far (patreon beta if your confused only 2 memories for the public demo) and will it change with all 10
I'm happy you're liking the game so far! Qiu and Tamarack are always cold to each other in Step 2. There's no way to change that.
omg i love this game!! i love how many options there is every time!! the fact that I can go throgh the entier game without talking is insaine and means a lot to me
this is one of the best games I have played and its still in develompet so thats says a lot

From the description i'm sure she was bullied, i'll make sure to make those bullies eat dirt as soon as i play the game, she's just so precious...
I absolutely love her hair color, reminds me strongly of the sunset(idk why, her hair is orange).
She reminds me of my real life crush, fr, i'll conquer you heart Tamarack, just wait for it.
____________________________________________________________________________________
I love that we have the option of polyamory, i myself never played much games that allowed the MC to stay with more than one person, you should always choose one, which would end up with me playing all the routes with each character :')
From the description, i believe, but ain't sure, that Qin and Tamarack aren't the only characters you can romance, but the main ones, which is also something i love.
As i said before, this is a review before playing the game, so my thoughts may be wrong or may change after playing it, looking foward to do my next review after i play it, for now, as i didn't played it, i give it a 8/10 from what i currently think, but for sure it will change when i play it.
GBPatch, your games are absolutely fine, charming may suit better, i love it, please continue developing these lovely pieces of art. <3
WE WILL COUNQUER OUR TAMARAK!
So im on mobile and did the short prolong of the game. Then got the section were it asks what is Tamarack to me. I can't go further past this page unfortunately. I click my selection but it won't let me click Done ??
Is because it's only a demo or is there more in the demo ?
Wont let me go past this part
Lol nvm figured it out have to choice multiple what are you to Tamarack 😅
Hi I was just wondering
How can you go back to a specific chapter of the game? Like I wanna go back to the linked memories but when I cliked the stage 2, at the end it just says thank you, but then I wont be able to go back to the linked memories.
If you have a save before you picked any Moments, then you're good to go. But you don't have a save, then i hope this helps. If your mouse has a scroll wheel, i think you can move it up as a way to go back until you reach the Moments Selection page.
Here is the mouse controls guide in the game.
There are also controls of the keyboard (Page Up and Page Down) but for some reason, they don't work for me.
Sorry but I play on the phone. Is there a way I can access those on phones?
But also thankyou for the pc version too this will be verry helpfull if I ever play this game on pc.
Oh no, I'm so sorry! I never played the game via mobile.
Maybe someone else might know.
Still Thanx for trying to help me mate
Its ok😁👍✨️
Read the file you previously saved
when the game is finished it will cost money? cuz im broke asf😭
If it's like OLBA, the base game is free. The DLCs (which are 5 additional moments and are optional) will be like $3-$5.
The base game is complete on its own but some of us get the DLCs just for the extra experience.
i see, well thank you!
GOSSSHHH DARN IIITTTTT!!!
WHY WONT 2025 COME FASTER!!!!!😭😭😭
I will wait: Now and forever 🌳🍂🍁❄️
The summer and autumn versions are now available, and I am looking forward to the winter story!!! White snow and ice skating!!
just so you know, the creator currently has no plans for a winter our life game ^_^' sorry for this!
4 months till 2025!
Yahh but I guess it will be released at around Autumn cous thats where the game takes place right? So maybe we gotta wait for more than new years😭
STILL WAITING FOR THE DAY TO COUNQUER OUR TAMARAK!!!
Hello, I was just contemplating something. You've done summer and fall type of visual novels so far, does that mean you'll also do winter and spring types in the future?
i remember Kab saying this in a lot of places (tumblr, discord, etc) but OLNF will be the last installment for the OL series (hoping for now).
She may revisit the OL again but that would be many years later after OLNF's completion.
I just played the extended demo and it was great!! It felt kind of short though zooming to highschool already. It felt like i just got to golden grove and then now they're saying I've been there forever. I hope there is some additional scenes in the final game! I also played the preview for step 2. It was kind of sad seeing the changes between Tamarack and Qiu's relations. I really wished we could've been a best friend trio.
dont worry, step 1 will have 5 free moments, 5 dlc moments, and an epilogue. so, the extended demo still has ways to go!
Hi GB Patch! I'm just wondering of why doesn't the game install when I download it on Android? Thank you!
I'm sorry it's not working. There can be a lot of reasons. It might be because of your settings, not enough space, a virus scanner not trusting the file, because there's old builds of the game on the device that are confusing the install, etc. If you can give me more details I could try and suggest something.
What do you mean by my settings? Can you please elaborate? and I have enough space to download or install more apps, and I don't think it has detect any virus on the game because if it has it would notify me. So I guess it only left with the settings.
It can't really download. I did every method I can think of to install it to no avail.
I mean your device's settings for allowing downloads and third party apps. Sometimes phones will simply not let you download something because of their own terms or permissions. I don't know exactly what they'd be because I don't know what you're using. I'm sorry. You could try searching online for the specific device you have and tutorials for letting apps install not through the playstore.
Hi again! Thank you for suggestions because I finally installed the game. But one question, why is the game (demo) on update 1.4.0? Which step 2 is only on preview stage and when I'm going to the school scene, it ends there, and I noticed that in the mini-adventures ( the picture album), only the walks and wheels is on there, there's no hide and seek, the magic, the dance class,and the sleep over. (I'm not trying to be rude, this is just how I type in english, which is my second language and I'm still not very good at it.) Thank you!
GBPATCH, How do I get the virus scanner to let me download the game I need both OLBA and OLNF (I use a Mac)
It depends on the virus scanner you have. You can sometimes just ignore the warning, or there's a way to tell the scanner to trust this file, or you can turn it off for a moment while the game installs and then put it back on. I'm afraid I can't know for sure what your solution would be.
Good News!!!!!
My sibling helped me out and I was able to play the game!!!!
I LOVE IT SO MUCH :D
QIU IS SUCH A SWEET GUY :3
That's great!
My dumbass just realized now
After 2 years
THAT BAXTER FROM OUR LIFE: BEGGINING AND ALWAYS IS THE SAME BAXTER FROM THIS GAME
OH MY GOD
Also thank you GBPatch for the amazing games you make I am in love
in Beginnings and always, baxter says something about "seeing you in golden grove" so i think that was a nod to this being the future game?
So, is Baxter in this one going to pount out the third entry?
he'll probably say hes moving in one of the chapters
Ojala que estuviera en español qwq
esta muy bonito el juego y me encanta el diseño
En nuestros casos debemos esperar una traducción de un externo o interno. El juego es increíble por lo que jugué y ya no puedo esperar por el juego completo, el cual, además será gratuito creo... Es fascinante, no creí que lo dejarían gratis.
qiu becomes so fine omg..
also when does the full game come out..? ive searched everywhere and never got an answer :(
he went from cute to fineeee
OMG YEEEEEEEEEASSSSS
The game doesn't have a set release date but since they just hired authenticity readers we should start hearing news about updates soon.
The patreon provides info currently, this screen is free the to view without subscription:

there isnt a specific date but kab said it'll probably release in 2025-2026 im pretty sure
They said late 2025 should be the goal
wow people come down Jesus I don't think the game is bad and sexual content is not the only thing I'm playing this game for I'm just saying a little bit of love is good in a romance game and they don't have to show it reading it is good too and the reason I was confused about the no sexual content is because the game itself comes up on porn game websites and it has some very unique tags so I was surprised that's all I still love this game and I will continue to support the devs anyways so cool your jets. And what kind of sexual content are you guys thinking about I'm not saying they should all get naked and start doing stuff god dame I'm just talking about kissing and some light stuff dame.
????
Ignore the person above you who probably download this from to a porn games site, thinking it will have sexual content so early in the game.
Those website are pirating sites. They steal any game they think has or will have adult content. They just made up whatever weird tags it might have on their site. I can't stop porn sites from re-uploading our content, but OL2 is not an adult game. The only official places to download it are Itch.io and Steam. If you find it somewhere else, be careful you don't get a virus.
If Kab wants to put in Bonus Moments like the ones in OLBA, expect them in Patreon in 2026/27 (if she even plans to make any).
Kab isn't done with Step 1 yet and yet you're already demanding (optional) Step 3/4 content that is not even set in stone????
im on macbook, and the game doesnt let me do step 3 :(. does anyone know how to get it??
step 3 hasn't been developed yet! Kab is currently working on step 1's DLCS
oh!!! okay thank you!!
you're welcome! :D
Hola shamola, Love the game already, i swear to the skies and universal entities i will be playing your games even when i turn 30. And that speaks volumes since i'm only in my teens. 😗👍
THIS IS SO TRUE OMG
I like darren, he's kind of cute (reminds me of Ajax). And i honestly cant wait till this game is finished!!! OMG! The smallest detail?! Like the moles i have? Baxter mentioning them?? WOAH??? Honestly, i love this game already. I cant get enough!
Also, big improvement! I've played OLBA, and its already so good. And then this one? MUCH BETTER! You guys are so awesome
I've never thought about the Darren & Ajax resemblance but now that you said it i can't unsee it lmaoo
hey, just wondering if there will be any option for split dye hair colors in the full game (like in B&A)??? thanks! :)
wait the game isnt completed?
Nope! They recently did an update, i think they have said it'll be finished by 2025/2026!
There will be something similar to that, but not exactly the same!
I keep replaying from the beginning every time the game gets an update i want it to be done soo bad but i also want the devs to keep cooking like the last game im so torn
SO TRUEE i love this game so much to the point I want to finish playing it asap
LOVE IT!!
Alright guys, I drew my character....Their name is Aquamarine "Aqua" Chodie.
