OL2: Beta Build 1.4.18 😭 (PC, Mac, Android)

It's been a long beta road, but we now have a full Step available for testers! Saying goodbye to childhood is sad, but at least the gang will be back for Steps 2, 3, and 4. In a way, things are still only beginning for your Our Life life 💕

If you're at the highest tier, you can leave your suggestions for additional choice options/MC reactions for these new scenes HERE. 

Disclaimer:

No Information in the beta can be shared publicly.

Screenshots can't be posted, videos can't be uploaded, even  discussing what occurs in the events publicly is not allowed and will  get your access to future builds revoked.

You can do all of those things within the private GB Patch Discord  server or leave your feedback as a comment.

So excited to play the updated beta!!! I love that the game remembers you're lactose intolerant, except I'm very lactose intolerant in real life and still LOVE eating dairy haha

came here to see if anyone else was experiencing eyeless qiu lmaoo

Starseeker Azura · July 4, 2025

Honestly, I'm taking the eyeless Qiu bug as him not wanting to be perceived by others in that moment. :'D

My Name's E · July 4, 2025

a bug I keep getting in Qiu's practice of Fall Ended he becomes famous creepypasta Eyeless Qiu lol

HauntingExpert · July 4, 2025

Love love love the demo!! Just wanted to let you know about a small bug. While playing "Mixed Up" it acted like my character was lactose-intolerant even though I said in the diner "You liked ice cream sometimes," or whatever the exact wording was. I had done a playthru with a lactose-intolerant character right before but went with the boys club for that moment, so maybe something carried over? Again small bug, overall great game and thanks all your hard work!

Kiri · July 3, 2025

Good afternoon, I wanted to report a possible error, when I tried to open the continuation of Stage 2, the same scene opened for me as in previous versions of the game, first we meet Tamak and Qiu, then we go to school and then your art "Thank you". and the game closed, tell me what to do

Cheese-And-Rice, Mooney · July 2, 2025

I got a glitch in the demo where Qiu eyes are missing when he changes into the costume for the dance. Nearly gave me a heart attack because I was skipping through the dialogue I already read, looked up and saw eyeless Qiu XD That looks like some "That's not My neighbor" stuff XD Definitely a funny glitch though, wish I could share the photo here somehow XD But it lasted briefly, when he started talking he got his eyes back. Edit: They come and go at random.

I'm sooooo excited for the drama of the jealousy mechanic, even just the little snippet we see in step 2 prologue was 😚🤌 God bless you GB Patch for giving me a will to live 🙌

Thank you, GB, for doing the lord's work

rene · June 30, 2025

I wanna play but all the comments on Qiu's eyes has me hesitating lol

G
GB Patch · June 30, 2025

It's only in one scene and only for certain expressions!

D
DarkKnightofAnime · June 30, 2025

So ya as many have brought up already there's a weird thing where Qiu's eyes phase in and out during the conversation with him during the ballet performance, also is it possible to save during Step 2 now without causing any problems to the save file when transferring over to the next beta or should we just not risk it yet

G
GB Patch · June 30, 2025

Thanks for the report! There could still be some kinks with Step 2 functioning with everything else. Waiting for perhaps one more beta would be for the best.

Rook · June 30, 2025

i got a recurring error on the same screen when i got to the step 2 transitional prologue bubbles. specifically after the one that says "Add one extra year and you graduated again. At fourteen-years-old you were about to begin high school." ... i got this error when i played on 1.4.17 and also on 1.4.18! it might be playthru specific and this file may be bugged but im reporting it nontheless <3 i originally posted the traceback code on the patreon post about 1.4.17 so i wont post it again, but the error is the same!!

G
GB Patch · June 30, 2025

Thank you! It could be something that's fixed in different playthroughs but can't be removed from the original playthrough that have it.

Marshie · June 30, 2025

qiu's hair on his sprite is normal in the new scenes rather than in a bun

G
GB Patch · June 30, 2025

Thank you for the report!

Alyn Revilo · June 30, 2025

Aaah Step 1 is finally done! Looking forward to the growing pains of Step 2 TmT what a sweet conclusion

MaskyArt · June 30, 2025

Love this so much! but i keep gettin spooked with an error of qius eyes disappearing

M
Mintz · June 29, 2025

There’s a lot of errors once you get into step two prologue, don’t know if it’s just me but it mostly appears once a choice pops up. But besides the point can’t wait to play it!

G
GB Patch · June 30, 2025

Are you loading a save? Sometimes older files just won't work with newer versions of the beta.

P
Panthro · June 29, 2025

Eeeek can't wait to play! Thank you for all the hard work team!

z
zlowieszczygil · June 29, 2025

isn’t Qiu supposed to have their hair in a bun at the shop still? They have in the artwork, but in the shop and in the office they have it down

G
GB Patch · June 30, 2025

Yes, they are meant to have that. But there were problems with getting the image to display so for now it's just the standard sprite. Betas don't always have 100% finished visual assets. It's like how there's not snow details in the neighborhood even though it mentions that in the script.

Noblearia · June 29, 2025

Love this!!! Can’t wait for step 2! I love the angst <3 Btw there is a glitch that forces the jacket you pick onto all of your saves as well! It goes away after you take it off but still. And near the end of this update some dialogue merge together- “It was impossible to think about tomorrow without seeing Qiu flipping through his notes and without a grin on his facegrins on their faces…”

It was a perfect time for me to get into this game lol!! Just played the beta a week ago and now I’m obsesseddddd. Looking forward to what updates come in the future!!

Aleksia Cook · June 29, 2025

Qiu has a lack of eyes while he wears the nutcracker outfit 😭

A
Aubriette · June 29, 2025

It was the same for me! Scared me tbh I hate creepypasta Qiu lol

Olou · June 29, 2025

Looking forward to giving step 1 another go, haven't played a build since the first step 2 teaser, be nice to get another full step 1 in again. Excited for step 2 drama to unfold. Keep up the wonderful work GB and Team!

Elizabeth · June 29, 2025

It didn't happen in the last version I played, but this time when Qiu came out to show his Nutcracker Costume he has no eyes??? They reappear when he starts talking (I can DM you a screenshot of what I mean.)

D
Dymon Cheeks · June 29, 2025

It's happening to me to. I think, for me, it is anytime his eyes are wide open. All other variations of his eyes work fine.
