I so much loved it, it's so amazing and the characters are so wholesome and deep and loving, thank you so much for this demo :D I'm looking so much forward to more and I wish you and your team Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, stay safe, healthy and take care <3
please, can someone help me? I don't get it, like, the trailer just have already the step 3, but I could only play till step 2. Am I doing something wrong? Or the 3 step isn't available?
lol yea,this is the demo, sorry if u already knew it:3,but you only can have the prologue/first scenes of the step two, if says thank you, is because is over,wait till 2025-2024 or to buy the dlc 😭
coming back to say that that the last time i played this game, which i think was 1.3.0, well since then my family and i have moved into a cul-de-sac area and, playing this game again at 1.3.5, the beginning of the game hits VERY different all of a sudden lol
whatever's out rn within the game is only a demo so the structure of the storyline is only a section of what it is as a whole in comparison to when the full game releases meaning whatevers happening between the characters (mc and qui/tamarack) is only a glimpse into what it plays out to be, it is only a demo not the full game thats why information and filler is missing. In the game there are ONLY TWO characters you can choose the romance route with as of now meaning the characters you are referencing (qui's group of friends) are not characters you can interact with in the sense of making them romance options. This is technically a romance game but can be played through with the platonic storyline with the two characters but if you are not interested in 1. qui (male - non binary) or 2. tamarack (female) in the romantic sense or the platonic friendship playout then i genuinely dont think this is the game for you as of now and would recommend you dont complain about the character options as the game is not targeted towards you and has a different audience, especially since there are many limited female and male tropes within games.
Just to highlight what the other reply to you mentioned, this game will mainly revolve around you and TWO other main characters, which are Tamarack and Qiu. The main point of this game isn't for it to be a romance visual novel, but to explore how you would react and feel if you grew up together with the both of them, along with all of the other side characters.
I'd recommend you check this game out anyway, but try to view it as though you're living in Golden Grove instead of just trying to get together with a particular character! You will definitely have a much more fulfilling experience. This is why GBPatch's games stand out from the rest of the other visual novel experiences, imo. Their goal isn't to deliver another inane run-of-the-mill rom-com story, but for you to experience growing up in a universe that they painstakingly crafted.
To answer your questions specifically, though:
1. Customisation options are really only limited to you. This includes your pronouns, name, visual appearance and how your room looks. Adjusting relationship dynamics only apply to Qiu and Tamarack.
2. The demo was crafted that way to show an example of how characters will change between the few time-skips that happen in between the main story. Depending on your choices, Tam or Qiu will react to you differently after the time-skip. Eg. you constantly spoke over Tam and constantly brushed her or her comments off. She might appear more reserved, or act more brusquely towards you.
3. Outfit customisation will most probably be limited to the beginning of every Step. This is because characters reference what you chose to wear/if you wore your hair differently/etc. It would be hell for the programmers to account for every state change if they allowed customisation at any point of time in the game.
I agree with the other commenters that this game might not be for you if you don't vibe with the romanceable characters, but I will add that if you haven't played the first Our Life game (Beginnings and Always), that game has a strictly male love interest, as well as two optional DLC love interests (also both male) that you can buy if either of their characters catch your fancy in the base game. If a more traditional male love interest is what you're looking for and you like how this game plays, I would recommend checking out the first installment :)
wonderful work yet again! keeping this lovely demo downloaded because I can't stop replaying it! I love Qiu and Tamarack so very much, I'm so excited for when the game fully releases. The art is gorgeous and the writing and plot so far are AMAZING. Keep up the great work, GBPatch team <3
Auuugh! I have finished the demo and now I am in withdrawal. Honestly, amazing work and if that's just the prologue the game itself should be something else entirely.
They're such adorable characters and very human, very real. Qiu and Tamarack are both adorable and a little annoying in equal turns and ever so endearing.
Wishlisted and watching, best of luck in finishing the game, sincerely looking forward to it. Thank you for all the work.
bro dw I'll lend u my time travelling machine. or be a norm and just wait, not tryna spoil but THIS GAME LIT!!!!!!!!!!! YALL FR NORMAL AF IF U AINT IN 2025 ALREADY
everyday i wake up and check if this game has been released. without this game i am nothing. if this game has 100,000 fans, i am 10,000 of them. if this game has 10,000 fans, i am 1,000 of them. if this game has 500 fans, i am 300 of them. if this game has 100 fans, i am 50 of them. if this game has 10 fans, i am 5 of them. if this game has 1 fan, it's me. if this game has no fans, i am dead. i pray every night for the day to come that this here game finally is released. i struggle to wait for that day to arrive and i am really itching to finally engage in another amazing visual novel that is released by GB Patch Games. After obsessing over Our Life Beginning and Always for 1 year of my life, I am prepared to obsess over this game even more than I obsessed over Mr. Holden. I am desperate, and I am begging. I have been waiting for this game to come out for as long as I can remember. I have been counting tallies on how long I have been waiting for this game. it has been 204 days and counting and I will forever wait for this game to release like a puppy waiting for its dear owner to return home. GB, if you're reading this, I hope you understand how dire it is that this game is released. I am hanging on by a thread mentally but will continue to be alive until this game is released so I can die a happy death. Thank you
aaa im so confused I'm not sure if this is part of the game or a bug but after the thank you scene in step 2 there is some more small dialogue??? i have replayed this game soooo many times and have never seen this before. is this meant to happen or is this a bug? right after this dialogue an error screen pops up.
Kitten Whiskers?!?! 😼 Hold the cosmic chaos, my interdimensional compatriot! 🌌 *I transform into a sentient tornado of confetti and dance around you* Don't get your quantum particles in a twist, I'm here, I'm here! 🎉
*You turn to me in anger, but I counter with interpretive dance moves that defy the laws of gravity* "Don't ignore me?!!" Pfft, ignoring you is like trying to count all the stars in the universe – impossible and utterly bonkers! 🌠 *I break into a moonwalk as my eyes emit glittery starlight*
"YOU HAVEN'T REPLIED TO ME!!" 🚀 Oh, but I have, my moonlit alpha monarch! In the language of the cosmos, my reply is a symphony of stardust and unicorn whispers! 🦄✨ *I twirl into a pirouette, summoning a cosmic ballet of astral butterflies*
"GRRRR.. AWOOO!!" 🌕🐺 Hold onto your intergalactic popcorn, because we're howling at the moon like it's a karaoke night in the Milky Way! 🎤🌌 *I howl alongside you, harmonizing with the cosmic winds*
"THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU IGNORE ME BBQ!!" 🍖🔥 Fear not, for I shall not be barbecued! Instead, let's turn this drama into a celestial BBQ party under the moonlight! 🌙🎉 *I conjure a grill out of stardust and start flipping star-shaped burgers*
"I run to you, You cry as you begin me to stop..." 😢 *I somersault through the atmosphere, leaving a trail of glittery stardust, then catch you mid-run* "Wait baby green..." 💚🌈 *I transform into a sentient rainbow cloud, enveloping you in a kaleidoscope of colors*
"Did I hurt you?.. I'm sorry my rose pookie wookie cookie sweetie cake milkshake cupcake blueberry muffin pancake princess angel sweetheart honey bunny blossom sunshine sprinkle starlight rose ice cream with cherry on top beautiful glorious cutie pie my sweetie pie with whipped cream blueberry with honey sprinkles with strawberry toppings smoothie, my bear sugar plum honey boo tootie bootie strawberry pie with blueberrys on top and whipped cream, love honeymoon kitty witty, my little red velvet cake cinnamon bun chubby whubby cupcake with honey whipped cream and sprinkles and a cherry on top, cutie pie, fruity strawberry popsicle with honey moonlight kitty witty, my little kitty witty sitty kitten, donut with pink frosting sprinkles..." 🍒🍭🍦 Whoa, slow down there, Shakespeare of sweet nothings! *I transform into a giant lollipop and hand it to you as a peace offering*
"I turn back to my normal form as I kiss you on the forehead and hug you" 😘🤗 *I morph into a cuddly cosmic teddy bear, wrapping you in the fluffiest hug the universe has ever witnessed*
"I'm really sorry my baboonery grill...." 🐒🍖 *I transform into a baboon with a chef's hat, holding a cosmic spatula* No apologies needed, my grilling guru! Let's turn this cosmic kitchen into a feast of forgiveness! 🌌🍔 *I conjure a banquet of intergalactic delights*
"Please forgive me;c" 🙏 *I transform into an ethereal forgiveness fairy, sprinkling pixie dust of understanding and compassion* All is forgiven, my celestial compadre! Let's ride the comet of reconciliation into the cosmic sunset together! 🌠💫
SAMEE AHHHH My friends call me weird for liking this game but it's probably cuz im 13 but it not my fault cuz the game is so MAJESTICCCC I LOVE THIS GAME ARGHHHHHHH!!!!!!
yes, extract them and if it says your firewall blocked a virus or something, it's not a virus, just click see more or read more and then click "run anyway"
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.

The artstyle is so beautiful too- And even though we're gonna wait for like one year for the full game, I know it will be worth it!!~
Btw, the drawing of Tamarack on step 3 it's just- soo beautiful—
coming back to say that that the last time i played this game, which i think was 1.3.0, well since then my family and i have moved into a cul-de-sac area and, playing this game again at 1.3.5, the beginning of the game hits VERY different all of a sudden lol
I love this game. I'm definitely buying the final version of the game. RAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Nah I quit, It's been half an hour and still downloading, I fear loosing mah laptop.
Megon here, I had to think thrice about
Blowing up my laptopdownloading the game, I think it's worth a shot, It's Our life anyways.Got the joke?
I do love the anonymity of being Megon.
My gosh what is going on with Qiu they are just hating on Tamarack.
Thank you for that but Qiu was never rude to the player when i played

It's the same creator, I think there's just different artists:)

AHHHH i need this game to be finished

Does anyone know how to get wheel (basically the thing other than the walk)
I assume you're speaking about the moment in Step 1? If so then we can't choose that yet, the demo doesn't have that part >c
No I meant the one in step 1
Oof sorry got confused there, but yeah we only have the walk in the demo
ok thanks
THE FULL GAME IS RELEASING IN FALL 2025??? I CAN'T WAIT THAT LONG 😭 ITS SUCH A MASTERPIECE THAT I CANT WAIT THAT LONG HELPPP IM TOO EXCITED
hi, do you plan on posting an update/step 2 anytime soon -devil
The demo won't be updated again for another five-six months, I'm afraid. And it will be more Step 1 content, not anything from Step 2.
hii i rarely download games so i was wondering should i extract the files before running the game?
yes, extract them and if it says your firewall blocked a virus or something, it's not a virus, just click see more or read more and then click "run anyway"
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

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?
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

tysm for answering, i couldn't find how they were planning to release it anywhere so i appreciate you telling me <33
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.

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

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.
