hey uhm so why does it say i have a virus when I try to unzip the PC demo download? (i didnt get one yet, my anti-virus stopped it) it wont let me unzip it to play ;-; is there really a virus?
The programming language Python, which is in this game, is sometimes falsely flagged as a virus at total random. There's nothing in the game that'd actually 'cause a problem on your device. You can try to tell the scanner to trust the file or turn it off just while the game is installing and then put it back on.
Try to download in another site, I think itch.io's server is bugged or something like that. Look for the game at steam, you should be able from there or from another site. Itch.io had a similar problem before and it took some days for them to fix it, so if you aren't hurry you could wait for them to fix it.
Hey there, huge fan of the first game and excited to try out Now and Forever. I've been trying to download the demo for a while and having a lot of trouble, maybe someone here can help me.
The dowload stops around 500 mb give or take no matter what I do. I tried dowloading through a different web browser but no luck. My computer has no problem downloading steam games or google drive files, only struggles with this demo apparently.
Has anyone else had this same problem? (I'm an Mac btw)
Upd8: Just downloaded sucessfully, it was a problem with the itch.io servers as the comment below says.
I had the same problem both in android and Windows. You can get the game in others sites though. Probably it's a problem in itch.io's server or something like that (They had this issue before). You should be able to download the demo via Steam.
hey, i love this game so so much, as well as beginnings & always but will it actually release in 2025?? i dont mean to sound impatient or to undermine your work at all but seeing the state it's in right now, that seems like really far away and too much time T_T would it be possible that it might release in sections? as in releasing the steps separately, or releasing the full game without the dlc first and then the dlc would come later?
sorry if this comes off as rude!! i don't mean it to be!! it's just a really amazing game and i (as well as many others probably) want more of it!!!! <33
Their plan is releasing the steps little by little, like they did with the first game. If you're too anxious to play this, you could pass your time playing the first one and the various DLCs (there's five or six, plenty of content to play) until another demo release.
The demo will be updated twice per year with improved features and new scenes, but I'm afraid we won't release entire Steps before Fall 2025. Sorry it's gonna be such a long wait from now.
It totally worth the wait!!! What you made with the first game is awesome and you made this game with so much more inclusiveness that it's overwhelming in good way. Keep doing this amazing work!!! Your games are beautiful and we can feel all the love, care and hard-working you put in it.
Hi, I tried to install the game in Android but when I open the game it just show me the loading screen and then is all black, ¿Why that happens or how I can fixed it?
(Btw I don't speak English very good, but I think this can be understood :)
I'm sorry it's not installing! You might need more space on your device or to change the setting to allow games not from the Playstore to be downloaded.
hello i h4ve 1 question 4bout the g4me! will we be 4ble to d4te b4xter or d4rren just like in coves story where we c4n d4te derek? or is qiu 4nd t4m4r4ck our only love intrests?
The programming language Python, which is in this game, is sometimes falsely flagged as a virus at total random. There's nothing in the game that'd actually 'cause a problem on your device. The demo has been available since 2021 and no one has ever gotten a virus from it, aha.
I love this game sm, it's cozy, wholesome and overall amazing c: i love the fact it has many dialogue options to choose from, not only like 2 or 3, this means i can be as mean as i want to 6/5
The programming language Python, which is in this game, is sometimes falsely flagged as a virus at total random. Telling your scanner to trust it should fix the problem.
It's a really great game. I waited for the update to come out for so long and now that it's finally here I continued playing yesterday! Such a sweet story and I loved that we could already peek to what Step 2 looks like. I am so excited for the full game! Thank u sm for this, I am grateful.
I would think that but i opened today OurLifeNF-1.1.0-pc and it works without that problem and my pc not very old, runs Our life 1 normally. So i have trouble only with newer version.
Hi! I was wondering when do we get to activate the jealous options. Is it in Step 2? Thanks!! I'm loving the demo, just curious about that in case that we can activate it in Step 1 and I missed it :)
At the start of Step 2 on the dynamic screen,you can move the Dynamic Elements to jealous of or envious over for yourself and the leads. It's the same screen where you choose if you're friends, neighbors, or crushes. Jealousy isn't on the dynamic screen in Step 1. You don't know the kids well enough to have that be part of your actual dynamic, but there are choice options to express jealously in Step 1.
I've got a question. Do you get to pick your Extracurriculars? And if so, depending on which one you choose, do you get to meet specific characters and not meet others? Or is it like no matter what activity you pick you'll still meet characters like Viance? Also, since when was Pran a character in our life NF? Are there more characters you'll meet in step 1 and 2? Like even more then we have right now?
Also I'm very confused about the different hairstyles and stuff, Like what options will result in them getting different hairstyles? Like, If your really kind to them will they get hairstyle A but when your mean they get hairstyle B? or is it relationships like if your crushing on Qui from the start he get's hairstyle A but if your friends from the start he gets hairstyle B?
Glad you like it! Did you delete the old version of the game and are playing only the most recent build? Removing older versions won't delete your saves.
Yeah, but only in Step 2. Your eyebrows automatically match your natural color and you can't have dyed hair in Step 1, so whatever you pick then is your natural color. In Step 2 you can dye your hair and control the color of your eyebrows.
Will the proluge 3 also be relased before game? And when will full step 2 be relased? I really like this game just like 'our life beginnings and always' so I can't stop wondering and checking if there are any updates weekly, and i cant wait for the relase! :]
The full version of Step 2 won't be out until the game releases in Fall 2025. There might be a small preview of Step 3 in the demo eventually, but maybe not. We're not gonna update the demo super frequently, only twice a year or so. But I'm glad you like it!
Hi, if you don't mind me asking. Since the game is getting released till two years from here, do you possibly know what the date may be when it comes out? I want to set it in my calendar, so I don't forget that's why.
Thank you for the answer and as sad as I am I have to wait 2 years for the full game. I can already tell that the games gonna be really good, so keep up the good work.👍
Unos 7 u 8 comentarios más abajo hay uno que pregunta algo parecido y respondieron que no tenían pensado traducir a ningún idioma, pero ven bien que otra gente cree traducciones.
Thank you for creating my favourite game (^^) one question though. There will be more step 1 content when the game is fully released or this is the full content of the step 1?
This game was the second game I was introduced to in Itch.io
I remember first playing this game, when the game cut off at Darren and Baxter going to their homes with Qiu and that was it. But after a few months, I finally came to this game by chance and replayed it with full version this time.
it is legitimately one of the best games I have ever been introduced to my whole damn life
I'll wait for the full version, never stop blowing up your ideas, love you creator
you should try playing our life: beginnings and always, is the previous game by these exact creator and its pretty similar, it is already complete with around 6 DLCs , and it is an amazing game <3
Maaan, I'm so in love with this game and so excited to play the full version of it! This is one of the best games I have ever played!! It's really really good!!!
This game feeds my autism and I feel giddy when I play it, since I was a very sheltered child and never got to experience life like this. :) The walk section and the moment where you get to visit Omi is so endearing and comforting to me!!
Free fantrasnlations made for fun are okay! But I'm afraid we're not going to do official translations ourselves, even if a translator was interested in working with us.
Actually, I'd like to do a free Korean fan translation for your game. Your game is absolutely perfect! But I can't find the file containing the dialogue for your game! If you don't mind, can you tell me the location of the dialogue file? If translation is not possible using this method, can you tell me how? If you feel uncomfortable, please feel free to decline.
Thank you for the interest in that! We use an engine called Ren'Py. There are methods to get into a game's files, but I don't know how, I've never tried, haha. You could attempt to search online for more info.
Thank you for allowing me to translate! I knew your game was made in Ren'Py, but I tried translating it using the same approach I've taken with other Ren'Py games. But I ran it on an older version of Ren'Py! (Mistake😅) Now the problem is solved! I've just started translating, and I'll always support your games! I’m really looking forward to the full version!❤️
That's so amazing to know! I would love to try my hands on translating Our Life 1 or 2 in french, if it's not done already. I want to share this amazing game with my french speaking friends <3
Maybe your virus scanner or firewall won't let the data download because it has decided it's dangerous randomly. Or the internet connection might just have an issue right now. You can try downloading the demo through the Itch.io app instead of the direct webpage.
You may have to change your browser settings or firewall trust for the file. And if you're on a PC or Mac you can try downloading the demo through the Itch.io app instead of the direct webpage.
This is easily the most impressive VN I've ever played. The amount of care put into every facet of the game is staggering. I hope you all take your time with this one.
I do have a question about the relationship standings though. Will it be possible to go from friends -> best friends -> crushes/BFFs -> partners -> fiances only through dialogue options without manually changing relationship standing between Steps? I ask this because I'm a huge sucker for the "best friends suddenly realize they're in love" trope and it would be far more satisfying to watch it play out naturally than to have it take place during a time skip.
Yes I think, because I remember while playing the demo after a dialogue with Tamarack a pin appeared on the screen saying that the relationship changed from friends to best friends.
Thank you for the kind words! And yes, it will be possible to progress the relationship to all different levels entirely during the Steps. But we include the option to swap between Steps for those who don't want to wait for certain scenes or want to imagine some other way of getting together besides what we come up with.
100/10 so far, the best game of this type i've ever played and it's not even fully released yet. huge fan of GB Patch's games since our life 1 and i've waited for this game since it was first announced here. ^^ so excited to see how it will turn out in the release!
( i made 4 characters for each save thingy just to get different personalities afsjegwjwn )

IM GETTING SO GIDDY ABOUT SEEING IT WHEN ITS FINAL VERSION RELEASES!!! I LOVE THIS GAMMEEE
hey uhm so why does it say i have a virus when I try to unzip the PC demo download? (i didnt get one yet, my anti-virus stopped it) it wont let me unzip it to play ;-; is there really a virus?
you have to click more its just an annoying thing does not effect ur pc

I can't download it on Android 😭
Try to download in another site, I think itch.io's server is bugged or something like that. Look for the game at steam, you should be able from there or from another site. Itch.io had a similar problem before and it took some days for them to fix it, so if you aren't hurry you could wait for them to fix it.
If you give info on why you can't I can try to suggest a solution!
Itch.io was glitchy that day, the problem already is solved. They should be able to download tha game now
Hey there, huge fan of the first game and excited to try out Now and Forever. I've been trying to download the demo for a while and having a lot of trouble, maybe someone here can help me.
The dowload stops around 500 mb give or take no matter what I do. I tried dowloading through a different web browser but no luck. My computer has no problem downloading steam games or google drive files, only struggles with this demo apparently.
Has anyone else had this same problem? (I'm an Mac btw)

Thanks for the tip! There doesn't seem to be a mac version on steam yet unfortunately but at least I know my computer is not the issue.
hey, i love this game so so much, as well as beginnings & always but will it actually release in 2025?? i dont mean to sound impatient or to undermine your work at all but seeing the state it's in right now, that seems like really far away and too much time T_T would it be possible that it might release in sections? as in releasing the steps separately, or releasing the full game without the dlc first and then the dlc would come later?

I would really like to date Darren T_T

hello i h4ve 1 question 4bout the g4me! will we be 4ble to d4te b4xter or d4rren just like in coves story where we c4n d4te derek? or is qiu 4nd t4m4r4ck our only love intrests?
You can date Baxter with the DLC on the first game. Here on the second game most certainly not, it would conflict with the story of the first game x.x
why do you type like this
There aren't any side character story DLCs in the plans right now, I'm afraid!
maybe they don’t have an ‘a’ key 🤷
yep th4ts right i dont h4ve it bec4use it broke :sob:
😭 rip
whats with the obsession with the name baxter?
its the same character
omg?? that's pretty cool, like how they used shiloh in the previous iteration
Uh so a few times I tried to open the game files my antivirus stopped the application before it could start and quarantined the files....
Not sure if it's falsely flagging something in the files but I'm not sure whether to risk it to find out ^^;
The programming language Python, which is in this game, is sometimes falsely flagged as a virus at total random. There's nothing in the game that'd actually 'cause a problem on your device. The demo has been available since 2021 and no one has ever gotten a virus from it, aha.
do you have any tips to run the application? i am assuming i'll have to turn off my antivirus
You can try to see if the scanner can be told to trust the app, otherwise turning it off for while you download it could work.
I love this game sm, it's cozy, wholesome and overall amazing c: i love the fact it has many dialogue options to choose from, not only like 2 or 3, this means i can be as mean as i want to 6/5
eh? you prolly downloaded the wrong game

w-what? i thought u loved me...
its me
Sorry for the language,but this is the best fucking game in the whole universe
It's a really great game. I waited for the update to come out for so long and now that it's finally here I continued playing yesterday! Such a sweet story and I loved that we could already peek to what Step 2 looks like. I am so excited for the full game! Thank u sm for this, I am grateful.
Hello. How can i fix this? In demo OurLifeNF-1.1.0-pc all is ok. But OurLifeNF-1.3.5-pc and steam version with the same problem platform windows 10.
I would think that but i opened today OurLifeNF-1.1.0-pc and it works without that problem and my pc not very old, runs Our life 1 normally. So i have trouble only with newer version.
it s turned out my drivers for videocard was old so after installing newest all good with images 😊
I'm glad it worked out!
Qiu and Tamarack are both depressed, anti-social, and hate each other. Was that destined to happen or did I big time fuck up
I had the same thing happen to me.
It always happens, you can't make them not have teenage angst, haha.
Baxter what the fuck are you doing here
in LOVE with this game already <333

You will get to choose extracurriculars eventually, but no matter what you pick you'll meet the whole cast!
Currently, the system to determine hairstyles and accessories for the leads hasn't been implemented. It's totally random in the game.
fav game, fr. but i cannot updatee (i ended in the children phase)
it's still just a demo, so i think that's why it doesn't go past the child phase?
It gives you the full demo if you download it on steam, absolutely worth it by the way
Glad you like it! Did you delete the old version of the game and are playing only the most recent build? Removing older versions won't delete your saves.
Are there any plans to add eyebrow color that is different from the hair color in doll customization?
Yeah, but only in Step 2. Your eyebrows automatically match your natural color and you can't have dyed hair in Step 1, so whatever you pick then is your natural color. In Step 2 you can dye your hair and control the color of your eyebrows.

It's Fall 2025, but there's no specific month or day yet!
WHATS NOV9??
KICKSTARTER END
OMGGG GB PATCH I LOVE U GUYS I CANT WAIT FOR THISSS GONNA PLEDGE WHEN I CAN SO EXCITED FOR THIS GAME WOOO!!!
God the demo was so good! If I could ask do you have a rough estimate for when the full game would be finished?
It's coming out Fall 2025!
Thank you for the answer and as sad as I am I have to wait 2 years for the full game. I can already tell that the games gonna be really good, so keep up the good work.👍
i literally cannot wait time machine time see ya'll in 2025
I love this demo and have replayed it so many times I can't even!!!!!
10000000//10
Hello! I would like to know if a translation into Spanish is planned.
Unos 7 u 8 comentarios más abajo hay uno que pregunta algo parecido y respondieron que no tenían pensado traducir a ningún idioma, pero ven bien que otra gente cree traducciones.
rayos, sera complicado que alguien lo haga una en español, hay como un millon de palabras en todo esto

I love this game, but I was wondering if you would be able to do after-school activities in the future as it is mentioned in Step 1.
Wow cool rhymes...Wait what?
This game feeds my autism and I feel giddy when I play it, since I was a very sheltered child and never got to experience life like this. :) The walk section and the moment where you get to visit Omi is so endearing and comforting to me!!

Why does the file appear empty when I extract it?
(Windows version btw)

K ill try
I can't download it, my browser keeps saying "Forbidden"
