OL2: Step 1 End Script Preview
Noooo, after so many years of development these precious childhood days are almost at an end 😭
[Also, the text transcript for the Q&A yesterday did get finished!]
Pure Text:
“Golden Grove was getting colder.”
“That was true day after day with no sign of it becoming a lie anytime soon.”
“Nights and early mornings were the worst of it. Mornings like when fifth graders had to get to school.”
if mc had no ride:
“That was why Qiu and Tamarack offered to let you hop on their wheels [again ]when they saw you at the start of a new day.” #if wheels happened
#####
“Riding meant [you’d/someone could] get into a heated building again sooner, and pumping one or two legs as hard as [you three/they] could protected [yourselves/Tamarack and Qiu] from turning into popsicles stuck on the side of the street.” #if mc using ride
“’Cause pretty soon it wasn’t just gonna feel like you were freezing, stuff would actually freeze. Snow had begun popping up on the ten-day forecast.”
“[Mom] checked for that repeatedly, by watching the TV, and browsing online, and even reading the local newspaper. [She still didn’t trust the weathermen’s chance percentages/Despite searching for it, she never trusted the weathermen’s chance percentages].” #if wheels/walks or not
“But it had to be close. You didn’t have to go to forecast school to sense a coming change, all you needed to do was take a step outside.”
“This chill didn’t knock on your nose until the tip turned red, or search for a gap in your clothes where it could come on in.”
“No, the air had crystalized into something piercing. People might try, but no amount of layers could stop you from being overtaken by it in the open.”
“If you didn’t have at least four walls and a roof protecting you, with a half-way decent furnace to boot, then you had to accept the fact that you would be cold.”
“Cutting winds and stiffening frosts had moved in, and they were not friendly neighbors.”
Menu:
-“The promise of snow was exciting, but all you had then was the unfun parts of iciness!”:
-“The promise of snow was something you dreaded. That’d make things worse still.”:
-“Snow itself wasn’t amazing or terrible, but it at least made sense. The current iciness was for nothing.”:
-“You weren’t sure what to think of the coming snow. It would be brand new to you.”:
-“Snow sounded wonderful, you hadn’t seen it in person before. But being freezing without that was just pointless!”:
-“Snow was something you’d never experienced, and you had hoped you’d keep it that way.”:

I really love snow 🥰 I cant wait to see the First Step come to an end, there’s been so much hard work done. It’s such a big milestone!
I'd love to have a choice were the snow could be comforting for MC because it reminds them of where they came from- I'm from Scandinavia and it snows heavily here(many other places too ofc!), just a thought :)
same here 🇸🇪🇸🇪
Speaking as a person who comes from a place that would make Golden Grove seem balmy during Winter, could there be an option for MCs to say that the iciness reminds them of where they came from before moving into the cul-de-sac?
hard agree
I'm hoping for an Early Winter event
I ran into Qiu's initial concept page/the post their name was first dropped earlier today while looking for something. And then that made me remember "wow I've been around here for awhile." I feel really thankful that I can watch this project grow so much and see the efforts of you and your team put into this game. There's a lot of love here and I'm so excited to see what the future holds. Thank you much for deciding to create and share this and take the time to make it the best it can be.
I am so exited but also sad that step 1 is coming to an end but that just means new beginning for step 2 memories to take place ^^ I love snow so much but I dread the cold weather, I hate the cold.
Agreed I have such mix feelings about it honestly
wow time flies!!!! its definitely a bittersweet feeling buts its an incredible milestone! congratulations and looking forward to whats next ❤
sad to see step 1 ending, but that means step 2 is starting!! I can't wait
TmT the childhood days are almost over but the journey was so sweet
I'm excited to see more step 2 but it's so sad that step 1 is coming to an end
I'll be honest I'm both so excited about the fact that Step 2 is about to start (given I replayed the old moments so much I know almost every outcome XD) but it also feels as if it was all so fast, Step 1 is pretty much complete (except some other missing parts) it almost feels weird/it went so fast for some reasons at least to me XD I'll be honest though, for how much I loved Step 1 for all the cute moments and stuff, I'm super excited for Step 2 because I just love drama and angst, which Step 2 is full of (plus the jealousy factor too is something I can't wait to experience and see in game always because of drama/angst XD Obviously I don't like people being sad, but I'm a sucker for angst and comfort)
So excited to see the completion of OL2's first step!
Can’t wait until step two is in production
