Helloo!! So currently, we have the Step 1 prologue and 2 moments. For Step 2, we only have the preview. But there will be an update on mid-late november that includes the transition of step 1 to step 2 and intros to opal, tam, and qiu on step 2! The full release is on 2025!! ^^
It's really weird, because I re-downloaded it many times, and it still said it had a virus. It was out of nowhere, like, I didn't click on anything, it just suddenly appeared.
I did that a while ago, but it wasn't a warning, it was my antivirus saying that it had protected me from a virus and then there was the virus name and the source of the virus was the game. For example:
"We protected you from a virus!
Virus: (Virus name)
Source: Our Life: Now & Forever"
I tried downloading the game again today, and it still said there was a virus. It wouldn't let me play no matter what I did, then the antivirus warning appeared. I have no idea what to do
There's a ton of chances for there to be text you haven't seen before because of all the alterations. That causes the skipping to stop even if it is just one different line. So, it can be awkward to skip through this game.
The same text can appear in a different context. Sometimes lines are reused in a block of lines that does have differences, so even a line you saw in a different alteration branch counts as having "not been seen" in this new alteration branch.
Weekend 4 of posting tamarack pic til game updates.
Wow, its already been a month huh? There's been a lot of new people around here, new gen lifers are something else... I feel like I'm falling behind... anyway see you next weekend!
Lion was a nickname people used to mock him but Leon didn't know that so he continued encouraging people to use that nickname of him.
Leon is a very extroverted kid, he always loves hanging out with random people but after an incident he stopped talking to people and occasionally has panic attacks, he also wants to find out about his father and maybe live with him. He is attracted to Autumn (Qiu) and feels that Tamarack is a good friend- After four years, Autumn becomes distant to everyone and Leon finds it hard to talk to him them; But he and Tamarack have grown to be Best friends.
Opal and him used to be really close and no one could separate them but after a while as Leon grew he started having difficulties and stopped talking with his mother as she didn't help him with his panic attacks, he feels as if his mother doesn't acknowledge his mental illnesses and is victim blaming- he still loves her and would love to rebuilt their relationship if he could.
Leon had questioned his sexuality from childhood and after having several panic attacks and getting frustrated for not knowing his sexuality he finally comes out as 'Bisexual' in Step 2, but he never said that to anybody except his best friend, Tamarack.
Leon saw Qiu as crushes in step 1 but then it turned to 'DO I LIKE HIM OR NOT?!' this was because of Qiu's overgrowing rudeness and distance in their friendship, Leon truly misses 10 year old Qiu, But somehow even if he finds Qiu 'Rude' he still finds himself falling in love all over again just like in Step 1. In summary he find's Qiu as 'Annoying but I love them.'
This is Shi. He was homeschooled by his mother since kindergarten because he was made fun of for looking girlish. He's sort of rebellious, but stops just short of inconveniencing his mom. He has bad circulation, so he wears a jacket all the time. (Based on my own condition) his mom was strict when it came to his studies, so he's quite intelligent. He also has a tendency to forget people's names. Plus Narcolepsy. Yay. (Edit) sorry I forgot to crop it.
hi this is my MC, his name is Asher and i wanted to share him since I saw a lot of people doing that lol.
I may have gone a little overboard with his story XD but he's actually a little bit inspired by me (I have ADD too) so yeah and also I only wrote some of the bad things that happened to him (I didn't have enough space for the rest) but another one is that he was treated as a freak because he didn't have a dad which caused him to really want one (in step 1) but even so he still love his mom the most. In my headcanon it's one of the main reason why they changed town, and also because she was relocated so she took the opportunity and went to another place XD
Because of his past bullying he only got truly close with Qiu and Tamarack in step 2 (they were more like acquaintances/friends in step 1).
The reason why he's seen as a liar is because sometimes he may say something and the next time that people ask him about that, he might have totally forgot that he said it and will deny ever saying that which caused many people to view him as a liar.
Anyway that's all and I'm going back to play this demo for the 12375th time
I have a question does the game make the description or do you make it yourself like the little info about your avatar (btw your charcter is so adorable!!)
okay I just read that OL2 isn't gonna have any LI DLC's cause this game is gonna be much longer than OL1 and the LI DLC'S there COMBINED... oh my... I CAN'T even BELIEVE this game is gonna be free with it's content... GB patch you are one hell of a developer for making this game free, kudos to you!!
I saw GB Patch replied to a comment here and that's what she said!! Here's what she fully said though: "There won't be other LI DLCs, sadly. The game is gonna be so large with the Qiu and Tam content, I can't get myself to do even more for this game, aha. It's already gonna be longer than the first OL including the DLCs for other leads in that game." anddd yeah! ^^
:0 tysm for telling me !! the amount of effort and time being put into ol2 is already INSANE honestly I totally understand this sorta decision they're taking
It's a lovely game!! I love itt tho it is still a demo and I'm a bit disappointed, I wanted a full game play for free like our life begining and always, your games never failed to make me tear up seriously 💓
ol2ers !! might start a qotd thing if anyones interested hmmm,, but !! im curious about your mcs so infodump about them in the comments !! any particular backstory they have? what're they like? what changes do they go through from step 1 to 2? i am soooo interested !!
He's rlly quiet, has heterochromia (one yellow and one gold eye). and brown hair !!! he currently liked Qui the most, but him and Tamarak r still rlly close ! He didn't get along with alot of ppl in his old town bcuz they all thought he was like that one rlly scary quiet kid (the struggles of an rbf sigh) so yah !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that's all i remember rn......... !!!!!!!!!!
ths is clover in step one. he is extroverted around his friends but shy around strangers, he has a good relationship with his mother but they do argue sometimes, he has a huge crush on qiu. he has polish heritage and the thought of never having a father makes him sad. step 2 Clover is extroverted all the time but he does have a few insecurities for example his birthmark, he grew his hair out in step 2 to cover his birthmark, unlike tamarack he isnt insecure about hi braces. during the time gap between step 1 and 2, clover has been questining himself, and when he turned 14 he came out as nonbinary.his relationship with his mother isnt as good as it was in step 1, they argue a lot more. he still has a crush on qiu, clover was part of the boy's club until step 2, he is still friends with darren and baxter, tho he rearly meets up with them anymore.
he looks so cute ohhhh :0 love his little lore tidbits, I could NOT be mean to opal though even if I tried, you're stronger than I am 😭 my mc also struggles with the lack of a father in their life n honestly I am curious to see how ol2 deals with that... maybe it'll help with players' unresolved daddy issues /j

Hi, is there only step 1?what about step 2 and 3.When will the full game release? I'm eagerly waiting😭😭
Helloo!! So currently, we have the Step 1 prologue and 2 moments. For Step 2, we only have the preview. But there will be an update on mid-late november that includes the transition of step 1 to step 2 and intros to opal, tam, and qiu on step 2! The full release is on 2025!! ^^
Thanks for Replying, i can't wait for it to release.😭^^
Quick question when is the update?
I think it will be mid-november or late november
Okay thanks! and i ADORE mob hes so adorable🥰🥰
Hey name is Clover Kinley
Guh My Daughter got a Secret Twin????
Really lol thats so cool
My daughter is Called Rosy Lin (thought It would be a Pun that would lead to the name Rosalin eventually i don't know what i was thinking that night)
GB waiting for people to ask Them Questions be like
Hey, was the game hacked? Because I almost got a virus when I entered the game. (I'm sorry if my English is bad, it's not my first language.)
No, the game worked fine for me, maybe u clicked on smth wrong.
It's really weird, because I re-downloaded it many times, and it still said it had a virus. It was out of nowhere, like, I didn't click on anything, it just suddenly appeared.
I'm so sad, because I love this game so much :(
it do be like that just download it bruh
are u playing on a mac? if u are, then it's normal lol
just go on settings --> privacy and security --> scroll all the way down and click on the button that lets you open the app
the device you're playing on is most likely just trying to protect itself
I did that a while ago, but it wasn't a warning, it was my antivirus saying that it had protected me from a virus and then there was the virus name and the source of the virus was the game. For example:
"We protected you from a virus!
Virus: (Virus name)
Source: Our Life: Now & Forever"
I tried downloading the game again today, and it still said there was a virus. It wouldn't let me play no matter what I did, then the antivirus warning appeared. I have no idea what to do
The antivirus I use is McAfee, by the way.
also is it just me or he looks like link here?
(Hopefully last post of the day)
that's not cove, that's damn link fanart 😰
I didn't realized val posted something just 3 days ago until making this and now I feel dumb.
I find the low res pic inherently funny
I wonder what happened to him?
I too wonder, random stranger that coincidentally has the same three letters on their username...
I think there's a glitch on my game because when I try to nickname Qiu. I simply can't.
I'm sorry. Does the option not appear or do you click it and the game just continues without letting you pick? I'm not entirely sure what is going on.
I click the option, and I simply can't name the character.
What option are you clicking? Does it continue to the next dialog? Are you trying to type in your own answer?
Is it just me or does my skip button just not work properly sometimes?
There's a ton of chances for there to be text you haven't seen before because of all the alterations. That causes the skipping to stop even if it is just one different line. So, it can be awkward to skip through this game.
OHH yeah now that i think of it that is rlly plausible, its just sometimes theres text I KNOW ive read and i click the skip button for it to not work
The same text can appear in a different context. Sometimes lines are reused in a block of lines that does have differences, so even a line you saw in a different alteration branch counts as having "not been seen" in this new alteration branch.
OMG WHY IS YOUR CHARACTER SO CUTTTEEE??
I think Emery likes cute things.♡. (actually is adorable 🗣️‼️)

Gotta say I was a little surprised that holding Tamarack's hand in the step 2 preview didnt prompt a callback to the moment in Walks with the cashew bag.
