Dude this guy is just so autistic and as a fellow autistic person I'm a hundred percent content with that. The game was absolutely wonderful, thank you so much <3
AHHHH!!!! THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL. I TRULY HAVE NEVER FELT THIS MUCH IN ANY ROMANCE STORY OF ANY GENRE OR MEDIUM AND YOU CAN TRULY TELL HOW MUCH CARE WENT INTO THE STORY. I WILL NEVER GET OVER THIS. BLESS YOU FOR BRINGING IT INTO THE WORLD <3
I normally don't really like low stake games but GOSH I am so happy I decided to pick this up. I adored the slow burn I got in my playthrough. I truly grew to like the cast and their interesting personalities. Such a wonderful game. No complaints at all.
*SPOILERS in the comment below. avert your eyes if you do not wish to be spoiled! *
oof. i have many words to express about this game, all of which different in their own ways. whether it be the overwhelming emotion i'm feeling right now after just completing another run of this wonderous novel, or something else entirely. i think it isn't the latter, lol. nevertheless, this game has had alot of impacts on me, whether it be emotionally, maturely, or understanding new concepts entirely. the inclusivity this game strives for, the queer-embracive flow this game carries is such a refreshing sight.
but, that is far from my favorite part of this game. i'd love to gawk about sea boy and my mc all day, but nevertheless, as a teen who is about to finally take that next step in life and apply for colleges, and the like, i've always felt really scared about it. change was different, and to me (primarily still) it's an incredibly difficult thing to wrap my head around at times. but, experiencing this game, an mc who was as equally scared as i was, take that next step, finally; inspired me to submit a college application in which i'd been holding off for for nearly a month prior, and was nearing the deadline towards.
especially the growth of maturity spotted in MC. however you play them, you /get/ to see them grow in some way or another. from (in my case) a terribly reserved preteen who struggles with simply comprehending the subject of romance, to a still social-anxiety plagued adult, but now is brave enough to be up forward in their words, and stand for what they believe in, especially a growing relationship with cove.
i don't wanna make this terribly long (it already is) but in short, the past two years that i've played this game, it's amazing. hard to word rationally when it is so absolutely easy to get so invested in this game emotionally. i try my best every summer to do a playthrough of the entire game, and it's one of the things i look forward most to with every passing summer. thank you, wonderful devs, for this equally amazing vn. was the first one i picked up, and is still by far my favorite <3 have a great day/night! thank u for reading haha
I've never left a review on this game before but I would like to. I discovered Our Life: Beginnings & Always during the pandemic. It was then, that I genuinely fell in love with this game. Throughout the many playthroughs of this game since the start of 2021, I knew I was in deep and that I would never be the same. It's funny how true those words are and how they continue to resonate with me to this day. While I was going through my own gender identity crisis, Our Life: Beginnings & Always was always there for me. I was genuinely having my own crisis through my main character and that was so perfect. It was as if everything clicked; I was able to style my main character how I've wanted to look in real life and it was a breath of fresh air. Our Life: Beginnings & Always has taught me so much; that even if you're afraid of new changes, if you're scared to fall, there will always be a support system behind you. So whether that's a group of friends, music, or a visual novel, it is such a beautiful and wonderful game. I am proud to say that it's been a tradition of my mine playing it every summer since 2021; been going 4 years strong, I would love to keep it up. Thank you GBPatch, you're a wonderful team and I'm glad I was able to discover this game in my time of need. It was like you were purposely looking for me but I wouldn't have it any other way. This is such a beautiful story to play and I do hope that any newcomers can share the same amount of joy and love that I have for this visual novel.
absolutely luv it, its so cute, this game definitely makes me feel bittersweet but in the way that makes you overlook you decisions with a smile rather than regret. thank you for this game, I love it so much.
This game is honestly so special... I couldn’t stop playing and finished it all in one sitting. I love Cove so much, he’s just the sweetest ever. The childhood friends-to-lovers story hit me right in the heart. I’m OBSESSED.
I... I was not emotionally prepared for this. For starters, I didn't expect my gender to matter all that much, and it didn't, but it did in a good way, I liked how it mentioned my change of pronouns without making a big deal, it gave me such euphoria, especially since I don't get that a lot. Second, change has always been a fear of mine, this helped me deal with it, a little. Third, there were some parts that were actually so funny I couldn't stop smiling. Fourth, the art, hello? Like, damn, okay, thanks for taking my breath away. Fifth, I'm gonna replay it SO many times, and if I could I'd by all the DLCs. Sixth, and finally, I just really loved it, it was such a unique experience, and though I could tell where a lot of my choices led, I'm curious about which ones I didn't notice. Seriously, great game.
Ah, I almost forgot, I really love how he was *SPOILERS* autistic, I could sorta tell from the beginning, mainly because I grew up with autistic family members, and I am also autistic, I just really loved it; great touch.

im trying to take this game seriously because its so good but i named my character my butt and ive gone too far to change it now
see this is the exact reason that I can't be left alone for ten seconds
I'm not sure if I ever played a better game, it was amazing
Honestly, top notch.
