Just playing the demo and I'm in love with your game! I don't know why but I want to protect Cove so much XD He's so cute hahaha. Impressed with the concept of game, great diversity and also the art! They're beautiful vwv
Question is the Shiloh in this game a younger version of the one in XOXO Droplets? Just wondering cos their personalities seem kinda simular and I found it an odd name
Are you gonna give Cove more hairstyle to choose from? I'm curious how he would look like with short or spiky hair
That being said, it's some of the more mundane and normal VN I've ever played and I'm liking it. Very inclusive too, having two mothers as parents. Kyra is especially so beautiful. I also like how our interaction shapes Cove's personality instead of just affecting his relationship with the MC
Cove has as many hairstyle options as the Step you're in. So Step 1 has just one hair he can have, Step 2 has two, and Step 3 will have three options. You can see Cove with short hair in Step 3!
This game truly gives me everything I ever wanted AND MORE. When I first stumbled upon it I was like hell yeah lemme see what this bad boy is alll about but honestly I got so much more than I bargined for and I absolutely adore the cast.
I can't wait to see the game fully polished and be an adult with Cove like eugh what a sweetie pie never change you goof.
Aaaaaah this is so cool! I love how extensive the options are and I've always wanted a slice of life type of game where the characters grow up together! And that lgbtq+ rep too? LOVE IT!
I have to say though, Cove's parents..? 100/10 They're both gorgeous, especially Kyra. I can see where Cove gets his looks from because hot damn.
minor spoilers below~
also that classic climbing through the window scene was amazing, i love that cliche so much and i'm not ashamed to say it
Hi!! I may be being a bit stupid but I wanted to ask something,, it says four different stages of life but it says three parts will be released in novemeber, will there be another part or are two of the stages together in one part?
It's not a stupid question ^^. There will be a Step 4 that takes place when they're even older (23 years old), but that works as kind of an epilogue and not a main part of the story/arc of the game. We're gonna release it sometime after the first three Steps. Probably early 2021.
This game is so adorable and beautiful ahh!! It feels so comforting to play and I'm really excited for when more releases. Thank you so much for making this :')
I absolutely love this game. I like how they ask you a lot of questions and give you so many choices! And the art style is so beautiful, everyone looks amazing. I'll definently get the full game when it comes out. Thank you for this! :)
This whole game is just incredible. The way it calms down, makes you really feel somehow connected with characters. I appreciate whole work putted in that so much. 🖤
There's only one thing that bothers me(just a tiny little bit), as much as I love the fact that we can customize charakter.. I lack possibility of having heterochromia.
Not a big deal of course and it doesn't change the quality of game. But I got kinda hard time at the very beginning, like... I spend around 20 minutes just to think "Should I use the color of right eye or left?".
But as I said it's just personal problem and game is really, really amazing without this possibility. I hope you'll have a motivation and strength to finish it to November!
(If it will be really finished 2nd of November it's gonna be such a beautiful birthday present to me). 🖤🖤
Thank you very much! I'm sorry heterochromia isn't an option. We did think about it but have yet to find a doable way for it to work for the system we have. If we do come up with a good enough method, it could be added as part of a post-release update. Though I can't say for sure if it will ever be very possible.
But we're definitely going to do our best to make that release date ^^. Happy future birthday to you!
this game is just.. so beautiful!! ahh, I played it a while ago and it made my heart so soft. the art style is so pretty and the storyline is just, amazing??
but I've got a question, will this be available on ios platforms once released? 🥺 I really wish to play it on my tablet, as it is somewhat slow on my android phone.
I'm afraid we don't have plans to release on IOS right now because they make things really hard for developers to get on their platform/store. If the game is unexpectedly successful we might be able to manage it sometime. Though either way, we do plan on making the Android version more optimized/easier to run in the future, so hopefully that'll help.
This is an incredibly ambitious and impressive visual novel game. I'm not exactly a connoisseur of these types of games, but this one seems like some next-level stuff for the genre and it's just wonderful. I hope the team behind this is proud of their hard work!
I'm OBSESSED with this game I can't wait to play the full version. The art style is amazing, I love how you can customize MC and I also love that there was lgbtq+ representation, In conclusion this game is awesome good luck on making the rest!
How did you manage to make this game bring that feeling of nostalgia and peace?
I did not expect that I would like a visual novel so much that it only showed the protagonist's routine. But I loved it. Perhaps due to the fact that I really managed to feel like the protagonist himself. It's so cute to see her relationship (in my case) and Cove's progressing the way you choose. I don't like self-insert protagonists. I'm not necessarily a fan of beaches. And I usually get bored with everything from the "slice of life" genre. But this is one of the games that I'm most looking forward to playing.
Aw, thank you very much! It's really nice to hear you enjoyed the game, even though it is a simple story/setting. We tried our best to still make it fun. Hopefully the full version will live up to expectations ^^
Thank you for the comment! I tried to translate it and I believe you're wondering if the game will ever release in another language? I'm afraid I don't know for sure. Right now we can't but maybe someday it'd be possible.
I really like stories where a relationship with one character develops. And even more so when we see the whole history of their relationships, the growing up of the main characters. A very cute story! I smiled all the time while reading it. I'm looking forward to the full version. Inspiration to you, the authors of such a wonderful novel! Thank you.
I absolutely fell in love with this game! All the choices were very thoughtful too, so thank you all for that. The moms reminded me of Korra and Asami from the Legend of Korra as well. I do have a question, in step 2 I was able to unlock the first two stories but I wasn't able to unlock the last three (family, dinner, & road trip). Was this because of my choices or has it not been developed yet?
Aw, I'm so happy you liked it! Those events aren't available because it's just a demo. They'll be playable no matter what choices you make once the game releases for real on November 2nd, 2020. ^^
This is a really cute game! Normally I'm a bit skeptical about relationship-based games with self-insert characters, but so far it works rather well. The fact that the game constantly asks you how you feel and gives you a varied range of responses DESPITE it mostly not affecting the narrative works in a way I never expected it to. Good job and keep it up!!
Thank you! Even though the game is too long to make every choice have a noticeable change to the script, we figured it'd still be nice to let people keep the continuity of their character by choosing the phrasing anyway. I'm really happy you had a nice time with that :D
Hey! Quick question! For the second adorable memory 'growing' for the second stage is there a way for you to add the option that the MC wears a binder? While I play the game I usually change my pronouns, love that that's an option, to he/him. Seeing that the MC is checking themselves out in the mirror and the fact that they do pay attention to their chest makes me feel slightly dysphoric. Also considering you do add the option that the MC can feel some type of way about their chest, calling them lumps lol, makes me think that the MC should have a small option to wear a binder if it does make them uncomfortable. This isn't something that's needed in the game, I absolutely love it and I have nothing bad to say about it, but it was just something I thought about and thought I should share it. Keep up the great work! Can't wait for the game to come out!
Hello! I can totally see where you're coming from. Things are vaguer and shorter just in Step 2 and that's because of the MC's age. They're only 13 so we don't want the game to linger too long on their body/what they wear, there's only enough mention of it to get the basic impression across. You can definitely imagine on your end that your MC is wearing a binder, or anything else they need. The game won't say they're for sure not wearing one, it's still up to you ultimately. Once the MC is older in Step 3 there's more detailed/specific talks about their body and needs and preferences and things like that. It's great to hear you like the game <3
I was wondering about that as well, thank you so much for your response! I love how customizable and inclusive Our Life is, and I really appreciate that you guys are listening to the feedback. I'm so excited for the full game, thank you again for your hard work ^-^
Sorry for the long wait on the response! But yes thank you so much for clearing that up! I'm so excited to see a release date! I've been waiting since the first day this game came up and I'm so super proud of you guys! Can't wait and thank you again!
Probably a minor thing to most players, I love the customisation so much. Being able to actually specify being tall so there's not constant references to [character] being taller is wonderful. I also love that there's actually consistent and often choices. So many visual novels already have a pre-decided personality for your character (and almost always one I dislike) despite saying the character is yours and reacts as you want or something, so that was a wonderful change. Basically I really enjoy everything but Cole :I, but there's even the option to not like him :D
Side note, it is really funny and confusing to have Mom and also Mom and Elizabeth and also Elisabeth.
I'm really happy you like all the customization options ^^. We weren't sure if anyone would appreciate them when we started, so it's nice to hear that you do.
I'm not sure I understand the side note, aha. Were those names you picked for your MC for fun, maybe? Or was there a typo somewhere?
I named my character Elisabeth without knowing any character names, so there's two with the single letter difference which I found funny paired with two moms. No typos I saw :D
I really really inlove with this game! I wish when it comes fully release it will gonna be free so i can play this game. ╥﹏╥ It makes me feel relax and happy everytime i play this ٩(๑^o^๑)۶ I will gonna wait the full version of this (=￣ω￣=)
We're glad you like it and that it relaxes you! The base version of the game will be free once it's completed, so everyone who wants to will be able to play it ^^.
This game is beautiful and so satisfying to play! I can't wait to see the full version, good luck to the whole team!
Sorry if my English is average, I am French.
Edit :We can refuse to take the bill now! Awesome ! I haven't played in a while but I'm glad to see that the option has been put. A friendly child would not ask for money to be friends with another child.
This game makes me so happy, it fills me with a lot of joy! I play this game for serotonin! Please keep up the good work, I can't wait to play the full game! I'm looking foward to it! <333
this game is amazing! the art style is really nice and clean (it's so refined n neat hahah) and i really like the story! looking forward to the full game eventually!
I finish the Demo let me say i am very exited. All these customization options OH how you spoil me :3, This is such a lovely and cute game. GB Path you always put out such great games! I can’t wait till the release <3

Just playing the demo and I'm in love with your game! I don't know why but I want to protect Cove so much XD He's so cute hahaha. Impressed with the concept of game, great diversity and also the art! They're beautiful vwv
Looking forward for the complete story!
Thank you very much C:. That's really nice of you to say. We're excited to get the finished version out for people to try.
I AM SO HAPPY I FOUND THIS GAME IT'S LITTERLY ONE OF THE BEST THINGS I'V EVER PLAYED.
Thank you! I'm so glad you liked it that much.
Question is the Shiloh in this game a younger version of the one in XOXO Droplets? Just wondering cos their personalities seem kinda simular and I found it an odd name
Yep! The Shilohs are one in the same, just at different ages ^^
Are you gonna give Cove more hairstyle to choose from? I'm curious how he would look like with short or spiky hair
That being said, it's some of the more mundane and normal VN I've ever played and I'm liking it. Very inclusive too, having two mothers as parents. Kyra is especially so beautiful. I also like how our interaction shapes Cove's personality instead of just affecting his relationship with the MC

I'm happy you're enjoying the simple slice-of-life experience of the game C:
This game truly gives me everything I ever wanted AND MORE. When I first stumbled upon it I was like hell yeah lemme see what this bad boy is alll about but honestly I got so much more than I bargined for and I absolutely adore the cast.
I can't wait to see the game fully polished and be an adult with Cove like eugh what a sweetie pie never change you goof.
Aw, thank you so much ^^. That's really nice of you to say. And no worries there, he's still a sweetie goof even when he gets older.
Aaaaaah this is so cool! I love how extensive the options are and I've always wanted a slice of life type of game where the characters grow up together! And that lgbtq+ rep too? LOVE IT!
I have to say though, Cove's parents..? 100/10 They're both gorgeous, especially Kyra. I can see where Cove gets his looks from because hot damn.

that classic climbing through the window scene was amazing, i love that cliche so much and i'm not ashamed to say itThank you very much :D! It's great to hear this is the kind of game you've wanted to see. And agreed, haha. Kyra is way pretty.
This game is so well written and the art style is beautiful.
Every time a new build is dropped I enjoy making a different character. It helps me experience all aspects available.
I am SO excited for the first three steps to be released.
I wish you all the best!
Tata!
Thank you!! That's very kind of you to say. We're really looking forward to seeing what people think of the finished Steps :D

ahh okay that makes sense thank you!! :)
No problem!
This game is so adorable and beautiful ahh!! It feels so comforting to play and I'm really excited for when more releases. Thank you so much for making this :')
Aw, thank you so much for the kind words! We're really looking forward to getting the whole game out to everyone.
ACK I NEED MORE COVE!!!
Haha, glad you like him. We'll be releasing plenty of more content soon ^^
I can't wait ^^
How much will the full version be when it is released?
It'll be free! There will be two or three optional DLCs that cost $4USD each.
So, the full game releases on Nov 2? Best early birthday gift ever! Thanks, y'all! :D
Yep! November 2nd is Cove's birthday, so happy early birthday to the both of you ^^
I'll have to mark it on my calendar! haha
Thank you!
I absolutely love this game. I like how they ask you a lot of questions and give you so many choices! And the art style is so beautiful, everyone looks amazing. I'll definently get the full game when it comes out. Thank you for this! :)

Loving the game so far! cant wait to play more!
Haha, glad you liked it and thanks for making a let's play video of the demo! Cove's dad certainly makes a bad first impression.
Achei a história tão incrível. Eu quero saber se você pode colocá-lo em outras línguas. ❤❤

...The game's not released yet. Once the full game comes out, you'll be able to buy the DLC for additional content, but it's not available yet.
ok thank you ^^
Thank you for answering!
Yeah, we'll be releasing DLCs on November 2nd, 2020! Thank you for the interest.
