I've been lurking for a while until i found out that today its gonna be released (at 6 pm for me) and I cant wait to see the full game! I made an account just for this and I cant wait to see more! I'm so glad I got to witness this game just in time! cant wait to play it! <333
Ahhh. The game is finally coming out! I first found the game around a year ago and it's so amazing to be able to watch a game develop from start to finish. I had never been so attached to an unreleased game like this so it is a first to be so hyped for a game to come out. The whole year was worth the wait and I am ready to play this as an official game rather than a demo/beta.
Let's get ready for an amazing summer vacation we all wish we could have! `(*>﹏<*)′ 💖
Hey it me again I can't wait I am going to start crying it right after my birthday to so like ( my birthday was the 14th ) I am so happy!!!Edit it is so fucking pretty also I started crying 😂 I am so happy scratch that I am euphoric or whatever the hell the word is !:) Have a goo day/ night
I've been following the game for a while (just created an account to comment) and it's so cute and fun! I thoroughly enjoyed the demo and can't wait for more. I will try my best to get the DLC whenever I have money.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that you wanna support the project. Taking the time to try the free version is very nice as well. We just hope you'll enjoy the game.
When will the game be released? Like do you have a time? I just wanna know so I'm not glued to my computer at midnight waiting to get the game when in fact it comes out later in the day lol.
Yeah, around 8am Pacific US Time is what we're imaging. It could be a little earlier or later, but we'll try not to keep people waiting since people are more excited to start than we thought, haha.
Adding to the hype pile : OL's release has been keeping me going through the past few months of pandemic hell, and I cannot wait to play the game and finally be able to support you guys with DLC purchases! :)
Also, as a rare friendship/family route stan, I'd like to give some enthusiastic appreciation for the awesome family scenes -- Lizzy is so fun and spunky, and Pam and *Noelani (autocorrect is a cruel mistress) are the cutest couple I've ever seen (the casual wlw rep is also so appreciated!). The wholesome but realistic family dynamics are probably my favorite part of the game; non-romantic relationships get so neglected in games, especially visual novels, and I'm delighted that you guys aren't neglecting that area of the story!!
Thank you ;v;. That's really nice of you to say. Family and friend relationships are wonderful to have and it's great to know they're appreciated. We hope the full game lives up to the expectations set by the demo.
I'm so excited for the release! I've been supporting you guys since last year. This is the best visual novel ever. I love this story so much and I'm so happy that y'all stuck through it even when times got tough.
Just stopping by again to say I'm so excited for the upcoming release (I had it noted in my calendar!)~ Wishing you all the very best and thank you for jem of a game, really looking forward to the 16th! <3
Thank you <3! Our Life will be free-to-play, so if you ever have some open time you can always give the full version a download without worrying about having to afford it.
i just created an account because i really needed to tell you how excited i am for this game. i discovered it last month and i've been anxiously waiting for the release because it's just SO GOOD. it may even be my favorite visual novel once it's full because i love everything about it. <3
i don't usually leave reviews on here but this game is just amazing!! All the characters felt unique and i loved the amount of customization involved. i liked how much the choices impacted the way the story unfolded so far and how much you could really shape the players personality. keep up the good work and i'm really excited to play the full game!!
Thank you ;v;. That's really nice of you to say and we appreciate you taking the time to leave us a comment. We tried our best to have the full game be even better than the demo. Hopefully it'll live up to expectations!
I want to play on mobile, would this be the site to buy the android game? (DLC)
Also, I can't find any information on the other romantic options. I am I blind or will they be coming later or have they been scrapped? Sad if they've been scrapped, but I'm here for the Cove story regardless.
1. For now Itch will be the only place to get the Android build. When more DLCs are done we might look into getting it on Google Play.
2. The other LIs are still coming, we just don't want to focus too much on hyping those up right now since they're going to release quite a bit later and there's more current DLCs to tell people about. They'll get their time with all spotlight eventually, haha.
I have been looking forward to this games release for monthts now and I am so happy that it will release in only 3 days from now! 😁
Is there somewhere where I can send you my fanart? I am a doll customizer and I am really itching to make a doll(or more than one hehe~ 🙃)of cove and show you the results :D
It might take a while before I can start,because I am working on some other projects right now,but I really want to show my love and appreciation for your beautiful game :) ❤
Aw, I'm so happy you're waiting to get the game. And you can always send us fanart on one of our social medias or leave it in here in the comments. We'd love to see what you make <3
I'm going crazy! I played the demo again, to get my excitement out, and it didn't work! Ahh! I need this game so bad! Just three more days!!! I can't wait to be in love with Cove!!
Also would we be able to get the DLC's here as well or only Steam? Sorry for the random question but I've never bought expansion packs from itch.io 😅
Thank you <3!! We're excited to finally get it out to people. And you will be able to buy the DLCs here or on Steam, though Steam only has the Windows/Linux version.
I gotta say that I am so anxious to play it! it's an amazing game and we can see that you guys gave your best to make it. I can't wait to see all the options and choices and play for 3 days straight.
I'm really sorry, it's hard to get a game on the App Store if you're a small group. I don't know if we'll ever be able to. Maybe someday, but I can't promise it'd be soon.
I've been following this game from the shadows since the release of the Kickstarter, I have to say now that it's one of my favorites VN's and I can't wait to play on the 16th! You guys have made an amazing job and I will definetely be buying all the DLC's, can't wait to see all the others LI on the game, and I will look foward to Our Life 2 :)
Good luck in the last days to realease! 16th I'm going back to school, so I cant be the first person to play the game, but I know this game will be phenominal, so, early congrats! also, sorry for any typos, I know, i need to downlode Grammarly.
Thank you so much ^^! I'm sorry the release landed on a not ideal day, we had some problems with setting date, but hopefully it'll be a lot of fun once you have a chance to try it.
Oh gosh I can't wait to see the full game! I just played the demo and I was so in the story. It's been a while since I feel so much Hype for a visual novel! I count every day since yesterday until the release! Damn, I LOVE this game if only I have enought money to support you, but I will throught the dlc! Keep it up and can't wait for the full game!
Thank you :D! I'm so happy you enjoyed the demo. We're really looking forward to being able to share the full game with people. Hopefully it'll live up to expectations.
I'm so glad you liked the game! Unfortunately, saves from the demo won't work with the finished game. Too much has changed with the programming in the meantime. However, the game will save the text as being read which means you'll be able to skip through any scenes you've already gotten and pretty quickly get back to where you were. And any future updates after the release will no longer have that issue, so this'll be the last time it's a problem.
Alright, thanks for the answer ! ^^ I'll be happy to get through the game again when it will release, I loved it the first time and I'll love it again x)
The game will be available on Steam as well, so it already converts for your currency! That will be my method of buying the DLCs and thanking the devs ^^
I really wish I didn't play the demo for this game a few months back. because I loved it so much and got too emotionally invested. When I had finished it I couldn't even try to move onto a new vn. When the game comes out I will 100 percent be spending hours in a gremlin state trying to replace sad with this cute guy!!
His height is kind of left unspecific, that way the player can more easily fit the size they want to make sense with what Cove's is. But he's probably around 5'3-5'5.
that was unexpected, i've waited for this game for some time and always thought that we have to pay for the final game because of how GOOD this game is, like there is no way its going to be free... now i will definitely buy the dlc..
I'm happy you feel that way! We tried our best and really wanted to make sure everyone who was interested in the concept would have a chance to play it. I appreciate that you're gonna get the DLC ^^
I am already so in love with this game. I literally was in tears at 2am because of how adorable Cove is. I had an amazing time playing this and can't wait for the full version to be out!
Thank you <3! It's really wonderful you enjoyed the demo. We're trying our best to finish up the last elements of the full game and hopefully it'll live up to expectations.
This was super fun to play! I love how much YOU get to choose in the story. It's one of the most interactive VNs I've played. I'm very excited for it to come out fully! I know I'm probably going to end up splurging for all of the extra stuff.
I do have one question though, will this be available for Mac on steam? It doesn't matter too much, but I do prefer steam, as it keeps my games more organized. If it's not going to be available, that is still perfectly fine! Just wondering.
Thank you! It's really nice to hear you appreciated the interactivity.
We are gonna try to make it available with Mac on Steam, but it might be late or might not happen at all. Apple requires going through an approval process to work with all Macs nowadays and we may not get the requirements done for our Mac build to be acceptable on a site like Steam. The build we have now is technically unregulated, ahah.
Cove Holden in the fucking brain 24/7. I love him, always will and I am on my hands and knees for his hand in marriage.
Awesome game, great demo and I can't wait for the full release. Now, if you'll excuse me I'm going to regain my sanity and rid myself of pure thoughts with the sweetest boy
The first opportunity to be at "love" comes in Step 3, but is only doable if you were fond/crush in Step 2. You can't go from indifferent straight to being in love.
Though, even if you officially can't be at the interest level of "love" until Step 3, there is a scene where it's possible to say it was love at first sight if you started the game at crush and then moved to love as soon as possible.
OK Thanks. I started with crush right off the bat so thank for telling me. But 10 years seems like an awfully long time to confess to your crush if you've loved him the whole time.
You can confess to liking Cove romantically as early as Step 2 and in Step 1 the MC can say he's extra special to them. And if the player wants to imagine their character and Cove are soulmates/in love from the moment they met, that's sweet and okay, however having the game itself go on about how eight-year-old children are so genuinely in love with each other could easily get awkward or even uncomfortable, ahah.
That's why you can't officially start declaring that it's true, life long love until they're old enough to more reasonably understand those kinds of serious feelings. I hope that makes sense.

Hey it me again I can't wait I am going to start crying it right after my birthday to so like ( my birthday was the 14th ) I am so happy!!!Edit it is so fucking pretty also I started crying 😂 I am so happy scratch that I am euphoric or whatever the hell the word is !:) Have a goo day/ night

Thank you very, very much, I'm really trying not to cry right now, love you love you loveyou!
Ay! I had the full release set on my calendar :DD
Thank you! I hope you'll like it ^^
Are the DLC mandatory to fully complete the story?
Nope! The DLCs add more content along the way for you to enjoy, but the ending is always there no matter what.
Then I might buy the DLC, I prefer having fthe freedom of choosing if I want a DLC
I've been following the game for a while (just created an account to comment) and it's so cute and fun! I thoroughly enjoyed the demo and can't wait for more. I will try my best to get the DLC whenever I have money.
Hi, you may have not heard of it but there's Giveaway. One of the prices is DLC from step 1 and 2. You could try your luck if you wanna 🖤
https://gbpatch.itch.io/our-life/devlog/195943/our-life-giveaway-mc-showcase-sty...
Thanks for sharing that! It is a good way to try getting the DLCs ^^
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that you wanna support the project. Taking the time to try the free version is very nice as well. We just hope you'll enjoy the game.
Random question!
When will the game be released? Like do you have a time? I just wanna know so I'm not glued to my computer at midnight waiting to get the game when in fact it comes out later in the day lol.
Sorry, I just really can't wait! So excited!!
I heard that it was around 8am Pacific Time US.
Awesome! If that's true then thank you!
Yeah, around 8am Pacific US Time is what we're imaging. It could be a little earlier or later, but we'll try not to keep people waiting since people are more excited to start than we thought, haha.

Thank you for the well-wishes! It's crazy the game is finally actually coming out, but we're excited to share it everyone.
So far from what I have seen from the demo, is amazing, very heart warming and enjoyable. I hope I can get to play the new game once it is out.
Thank you <3! Our Life will be free-to-play, so if you ever have some open time you can always give the full version a download without worrying about having to afford it.

Keep it up and can't wait for the full game!
Thank you :D! I'm so happy you enjoyed the demo. We're really looking forward to being able to share the full game with people. Hopefully it'll live up to expectations.
Hey ! When the full game will be released, will we keep the progression we had on the demo or will we have to start over ? ^^
Btw, I loved every single part of the demo, I really love the game and I can't wait for the release ! <3
I'm so glad you liked the game! Unfortunately, saves from the demo won't work with the finished game. Too much has changed with the programming in the meantime. However, the game will save the text as being read which means you'll be able to skip through any scenes you've already gotten and pretty quickly get back to where you were.

Alright, thanks for the answer ! ^^ I'll be happy to get through the game again when it will release, I loved it the first time and I'll love it again x)
Thank you much for understanding!
I wish I could buy the DLCs or even pay some for the game, the developers totally deserve it, but alas I use a different currency :')
The game will be available on Steam as well, so it already converts for your currency! That will be my method of buying the DLCs and thanking the devs ^^
Omg, I'm so happy to hear that! Tysm you just made my day xD
I'm glad you wanna get the DLCs and support us <3! And yes, if you want to get the game through Steam instead to use your own currency you're welcome to wishlist Our Life on there-
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1129190/Our_Life_Beginnings__Always/
Done! You can count on my purchase, keep up with the good work~! <3
Thank you so much ^^
I can't wait for the release! I keep playing the demo over and over cuz its so good!
i am so excited for the release!!
this is so amazing
And it comes out on my birthday! Lucky me.
Hey, mine as well. :D
Happy almost birthday!!
Thank you so much! Happy almost birthday ^^
Thank you!
I really wish I didn't play the demo for this game a few months back. because I loved it so much and got too emotionally invested. When I had finished it I couldn't even try to move onto a new vn. When the game comes out I will 100 percent be spending hours in a gremlin state trying to replace sad with this cute guy!!
Same like I can't wait to also buy the DLC's cause I need more Cove in my life.
Aw, I'm so glad you enjoyed the demo that much :D! I really hope the finished version will be worth all the wait.
Lol same
How tall is 13 year old Cove?
His height is kind of left unspecific, that way the player can more easily fit the size they want to make sense with what Cove's is. But he's probably around 5'3-5'5.
wait, is the completed game going to be free to play?? from step 1-3??
Yep! It's free. The paid DLCs that exist are optional and add stuff before the end of the game. You don't have to buy anything to finish it.
that was unexpected, i've waited for this game for some time and always thought that we have to pay for the final game because of how GOOD this game is, like there is no way its going to be free... now i will definitely buy the dlc..
I'm happy you feel that way! We tried our best and really wanted to make sure everyone who was interested in the concept would have a chance to play it. I appreciate that you're gonna get the DLC ^^
I'll squeal if this Demo game is COMPLETED i would play this all over again
if this game is completely finished XD -w-
I'm glad you liked it :D! The finished version will be out in just a few more weeks, on November 16th.
Tell me if the game is complete >:3
Right now the download is only a demo, not complete. The complete game is coming out on November 16th, 2020.
Same though tbh xD
I am already so in love with this game. I literally was in tears at 2am because of how adorable Cove is. I had an amazing time playing this and can't wait for the full version to be out!
Thank you <3! It's really wonderful you enjoyed the demo. We're trying our best to finish up the last elements of the full game and hopefully it'll live up to expectations.
This was super fun to play! I love how much YOU get to choose in the story. It's one of the most interactive VNs I've played. I'm very excited for it to come out fully! I know I'm probably going to end up splurging for all of the extra stuff.
I do have one question though, will this be available for Mac on steam? It doesn't matter too much, but I do prefer steam, as it keeps my games more organized. If it's not going to be available, that is still perfectly fine! Just wondering.
I'm pretty sure he/she did confirm that it will be coming out on steam as well.
Thank you! It's really nice to hear you appreciated the interactivity.
We are gonna try to make it available with Mac on Steam, but it might be late or might not happen at all. Apple requires going through an approval process to work with all Macs nowadays and we may not get the requirements done for our Mac build to be acceptable on a site like Steam. The build we have now is technically unregulated, ahah.
Cove Holden in the fucking brain 24/7. I love him, always will and I am on my hands and knees for his hand in marriage.
Awesome game, great demo and I can't wait for the full release. Now, if you'll excuse me I'm going to regain my sanity and rid myself of pure thoughts with the sweetest boy
Haha, aw, thank you so much! I'm really glad you like Cove so much. And I'm sure he'd be happy to marry you <3
This is a damn good game. Possibly one of the best visual novels I've ever played. I can't wait for the full release.
Thank you so much :D!
Oh and one more thing. I probably missed this somewhere in the tutorial but, when do you get to choose the love option on the interest meter?
The first opportunity to be at "love" comes in Step 3, but is only doable if you were fond/crush in Step 2. You can't go from indifferent straight to being in love.
