I've played games in the past that had a Dom/Sub dynamic but none of them portrayed it the way you did. This was very much healthy, consensual, and enthusiastic. The writing was wonderful and the dynamic between Sebastian and us as The Player was just so natural that I didn't even think twice about it. As another poster (@fie) has mentioned, this is one the best and healthiest representations of bdsm culture and kinks. I can tell that a lot of hard work went into this and I cannot wait to see what else you have in store for us if you plan on doing more with this.

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.

Thank you for your hard work!

Ok seriously, I get that people want a good ending and stuff, but fucking spamming the comments with "revive him please" is annoying and won't help you get a good ending if you want it. If anything, spamming is problematic on any platform and can cause your account to be deleted/banned. Be careful and don't say I didn't warn you because it happens

oh yikes

I get it but if you see that it's a spoiler with no spoiler warning, don't continue reading if you don't want to get spoiled 😭

Yeah but it's rate bait though. People are rating just for a good ending and not actually giving feedback. Many people here, including myself, have criticized the game because of this. Although the game was created within two months, it's initial release didn't have any warnings and many gamers had to criticize her for it. Jenny does not care for the well-being of her followers. Although the warnings are there now, there was no need for a graphic suicide scene. This is all just rate bait so she could exploit her followers and have them create alt accounts to give false ratings. A reminder that itch bans accounts for giving/spamming false ratings.

As of now, no. There's only bad endings and unless you want a good ending, you have to rate the game (it's just rate bait).

I won't lie, the ending caught me off guard and has affected me badly. I've already dealt with depression and self harm in the past due to suicidal thoughts and this kind of brings everything back to it. At first, it started off cute and I got hooked, it was really fun. I expected our MC to convince the LI in the story and help him with the publicity from the hate but that didn't happen. I've read the warnings beforehand but it never really prepared me for the endings after multiple plays, thinking there will be a good ending but no. Now, after seeing many comments that there wasn't a warning before and had been updated two months later due to concerns and the well-being of others, it's seems to me this is all rate bait (I know it is). As another user has previously mentioned, if this wasn't done through extensive research and/or experience, that's just fucking harmful and disrespectful not just to me but to others that have been screwed over by the game. I understand this was done in under a month (or some will say, I don't think it was), but endings like this happen so abruptly??? It leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I gave my thoughts on this and I can honestly say that this was not what I expected and I don't think I can play this anymore.

edit: I like reading the reviews and seeing what everyone's thoughts are but some of them (no offense and if you are then sorry, you're who I'm talking about) just seem to be giving good reviews just for a good ending and not just to give feedback. Not only that but it also seems that some users on here are dick-riding Jenny and it's frustrating because they're not playing the game to play it and give feedback, they're only playing because it was made by Jenny. "It's a good game," sure it is but what else? No other thoughts? The fact many are making alts just to give a good false rating for a good ending in return for Jenny to exploit her gamers/followers because of it. Like I said, more research could have been done within two months of the demo/game being made.

If this gets taken down, I'll just repost it.

Thank you for the updated post. I am excited and am always looking forward to what you have in store. With that being said, please take your time when it comes to the game. Your mental health and well being is far more important - be sure to take breaks and if you ever get burnt out, TAKE THAT BREAK! As I was saying, heh, thank you for taking time out of your day to keep us in the loop, you're amazing. Keep up the good work, work hard, and take care <3

I have a question! I'm quite stuck on Karla the Harpy and it was about the temperature. To be specific, the room temperature not the lighting temperature. I was wondering, what degree should it be settled at?

Thank you so much, that helps a lot!

Hello, I downloaded the main 1.5 update and when I was on the home screen and clicked " DLC INFO " in the upper left hand corner, it has that Step 1 - 3 / 4 (?) aren't downloaded so when I clicked the link to bring me back to here to download the dlcs that I already purchased and install them, it says the file isn't there or that it can't be installed. I deleted the original to install the 1.5 update

Alright thank you! I got Step 4 ^^

I might need a little help. I've been trying to download or at least find where I download step 4 for the game but I can't find it. I have tried restarting my device and I have deleted all three files (for the DLCS) and redownloaded them but still can't see the link for step 4

I am legit freaking out , ah.

Alright. Thanks for the advice.

Hello! I really enjoyed the game but no matter how many times I play the game, I can never get the locked ending after the Friendship Ending and the locked ending after the Solo Ending. Did I do something wrong? It's a good game honestly, I love the character designs which remind of me of manga.
