OL2: Beta Build 1.3.12 ✨ (PC, Mac, Android)
It's time for a new beta build! This version includes the first part of a brand-new Moment, Magic. And that Moment happens to be the last one that will be included in the free-to-play version of Step 1. Once all three parts are in the beta we'll be moving on to the DLC Step 1 Moments 👀

My only salt about Magic is not being able to remind them that I'm a Sorcerer
I was not expecting Hide and Seek to go the way it did, but it's explains Qiu's attitude in the Step 2 preview. So worth upping my tier!
It's fun because Qiu's first idea of magic sounds like it would be like... shooting fireballs, throwing down force fields, teleportation, and other high fantasy magic shenanigans that are obviously the realm of imagination... for now. And Tamarack's first idea of magic is music, love, and probably even phrases that invoke the will of the world to do as you say. "Have a safe trip", "Have a good day", "Goodnight, sweet dreams". Stuff like that.
I like purposley makeing them sad :D
Man I so badly want to play this, but also im trying to restrain myself so I can enjoy the full release when it comes out haha (very excited!!) Can't wait to see the results of all your hard work GB Patch ♥
i think one of my favorite things of getting these step 1 moments is the way it helps contextualizes how tamarack and qiu interact in the step 2 preview. something about how these two are with each other at the start of magic really seems to mirror the step 2 dynamic in a way i can't really explain but it's scratching my brain since i replayed everything yesterday. i guess that makes sense since this is technically the last free moment (if those hints were the intent anyway). also i think this is the first time qiu doesn't seem too interested in what's going on (reads more as a curiosity of what the heck tamarack is going on about) which hits harder if played after hide & seek as is the suggested order. to me it does also put into perspective how tamarack was dragged along for things at least as much as she would allow herself to be since she's not afraid to go "hey i kinda dont like this i'll do something else in the same area." and just how often qiu took the reigns in outings in general now he's just going with the flow and seems a bit more subdued without the need to impress/make sure everyone is having a good time. editing to add: i also wonder if this is the start of tamarack's interest in music since her whimsy equates it to magic. cute if so. idk!!! i just felt like rambling for a bit since i really adore how well rounded these characters are and watching the different ways they bounce off of each other is always fun. i have a lot of fun with this game thank you so much to you and your team for making it.
ive been feeling like that as well! like watching how Qiu acts during the Hide & Seek moment really made me feel like the step 2 preview made sense all of a sudden
I think this might be one of my favorite moments so far, right in front of Fancy and Wheels
I would have liked it to have been a wish that we would want to marry one or both of them. Hope dies last, perhaps one person of the highest tier will suggest it xD
I'm afraid that won't become a wish even if it gets suggested there. But it's because you can already bring that up in a different Moment and so it'd just be a repeat.
yayayay im so exited to play itt
Gosh I'm so in love with the "Love" response to Tamarack's magic question. That was so cute 🥹♥️
I can’t believe I slept through it 💀💀
this is so cool! (side question will the beta have the DLC steps)
Yeah!
Havent gotten to the new moment just yet, but i have noticed the audio's being funky? I cant hear it playing and when i look at the soundtrack in the extras screen from the main menu its speeding past all the songs with no audio
Thank you for letting us know!
that was adorable omg i can't wait for the future steps to refer back to it!!!
I love it when shows or games name drops The title
Forgot to add the error in the original comment ^^;

Thank you for mentioning that. You can hit ignore and continue the event!
Didn't even make it to the actual Moment before an error occured >.>
oh i really hope this is going to end up being pulled out in the future when all the characters are adults or late teens or something. It'd be so cool to revisit.
I’m not sure why but I feel like part 2 might be on the angsty side.
OMG what coincidence and its my birthday LETSSS GOOO, Love your work GB.
Happy birthday to you!
I have been waiting for this, so excited!!!
Thank you so much for your hard work. I love your games. ❤️❤️
Hi, just here to add I'm also getting a notification after the dress up section that says "TEMP_IS_INDOOR".
Thank you for reporting. You can hit ignore and continue the event!
I need to point out something, and I think another person said it, but there's an exception error after the dressing-up menu when you click at one of the moments. For me, it happened with Magic and Fancy Fun (not sure about the other moments) what I did was ignore the error and it let me continue the moment, but I needed to point that out. Other than that, I'm excited for the second part!!
Thanks for mentioning it!
Der Graf von Monte Christo! I remember how my granpa was always reading it or watching an adaptation of this book.
Well, it was just as depressing as I expected it to be. But it was great of course! I'm curious about the remaining parts of the moment though, since I have no idea what may happen!
I started this file with a save halfway through Hide and Seek and when I finished it and started up the "Magic" moment, I get to the dress up page, click the X to progress and get the "An exception has occoured" page show up. I closed and restarted it twice now, is there something I'm doing wrong? I tried it with both redressing my MC and just going straight to the X on my first and second try. It says the error is "'TEMP_IS_INDOOR' is not defined"
Thank you for reporting. You can hit ignore and continue the event!
Ahhh I'm so excited! This is my first time installing an update. Should I install this over my previous version?
Yeah, please delete older beta builds and just keep this one!
Literally RAN to my laptop when I saw the notif! I'm so excited!
Mood!
so excited to play this later!! 🥰
told myself when this beta comes out I'd replay the build from the start using my main mc since I've missed up updates with older stuff. very excited to see how everything is pieced together and developed.
I restart my mc each beta build, trust me, you're gonna love it!
I can't wait to play this game when I get home!!!
I’m looking forward for when I get off work today
I can’t wait to play ahhh ((:
I'm so excited for this 🥰🥰
