Hey, everyone!  

That demo update we’ve been promising has arrived! Hooray! It’s been improved/expanded in pretty much every way.  

Here’s the breakdown on what’s new:

• The script has been expanded. All the sections are longer than how they used to be, some more, some not as much. Overall it amounted to an over 10,000-word increase! 31,000 words to 44,000 words.
• The script also had errors fixed and parts were edited to improve the phrasing.
• The Character Creation Screen was entirely restructured! It’s much more detailed than before. It has three pages of traits to decide on, as opposed to just one. You can now change your MC’s eye color/eye shape and add various extra touches such as scars.
• Brand new hairstyle options for the MC Doll were added as well.
• The Moment Selection Screen got entirely new assets and looks significantly prettier than before.
• Cove has an even larger amount of different expressions.
• A new full CG was added for Derek.
• Lizzie, Pamela (Mom), Noelani (Mommy/Ma), Cliff (Mr. Holden), and Step 2 Cove have a bit of voice acting now! You can actually hear what they sound like.
• Multiple new songs were added to the soundtrack. Scenes have a wider variety of music that plays.
• The Config screen has an additional option you can tweak: the outline thickness on the text. You can make the white surrounding thinner, thicker, or remove it entirely.

So, basically, it’s a lot snazzier now, haha.  

Though, it’s not entirely flawless. The demo will break if you load a save file from an older version. Also, the character images might temporarily display wrong if you scroll backwards to previous text. We’re working on taking care of those.  

And we’re also in the process of getting the demo on approved Steam. You can wishlist Our Life there for future reference-
