OL2: Beta Build 1.4.21 🍴 (PC, Mac, Android)
We got as much done as we could this month with how busy it was in the team's personal lives and getting the new programmer, Wind Chimes, set up with the system. You can now play the final section of the Step 2 prologue! These prologues are always such a massive undertaking. It's great to finally have it checked off.
If you're at the highest tier, you can leave your suggestions for additional choice options/MC reactions for these new scenes in the post prior to this one. I can't add a link like I usually do because I'm on a trip and scheduled this post in advance. As I'm writing this, there's nothing to link to.

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.

Well, I hope having the whole prologue gives a good taste of what to except in Step 2. Thank you so much for your support!

I just finished the beta from start to end of Step 2's prologue and I must say, I'm so impressed?! I did notice some dialogue pop-up delay during the second half of the Step 2 prologue (like half a second delay) compared to the usual smoothness so I'm not sure if that is an issue! Other than that, I'm in love with how the story is progressing!! Can't wait for more!
I must confess, I hadn't played through the Step 2 prologue since it ended right before the kids headed off to school. I finally did now that it's done. My MC is trans and I've been mulling over when I him to realize/come out and when Ren rolled up with a dysphoria hoodie and a skateboard to my MC, also in a dysphoria hoodie with a skateboard, I finally had my answer. This following the prior scene where my MC has made it clear he hates Vianca's guts??? And Ren wants to be accepted by her??? I momentarily forgot about Qiu and Tamarak I'm not gonna lie. Absolutely stunning unintentional paralell, 10/10, no notes. Sorry for the long comment I'm giddy and have no one to talk to about this LOL. Thank you for making this such an enjoyable experience!! 🏳️⚧️
It was amazing to play! Thank you for all your work :) I just wanted to let you know I ran into a bug when I was playing. During one of my runs my character only remains friends with Qiu, and when were chatting at the booth, if you pick the dialogue option : "Cheers to our anniversary" Tamarack shows up and starts talking and the scene progresses like she's been there all along. Not a big issue but it made me laugh and I wanted to let you know :)
The anniversary itself simply summons Tamarack. It's not a bug, it's a feature. You cannot escape.
I'm always so excited for these releases, I can't wait to play through the new parts :D
lol i was trying to get some 1 on 1 time with qiu and TAMARACK JUST POPS UP AT DINER LMAO
The jealousy is always so fun haha 🤣
Not sure if anyone else has pointed this out, but the Mac download mirror links to the PC download one
Yeah I got confused when I didn't get a game but just a bunch of folders and files that didn't work :/ the Mirror one for mac isn't right.
OHH MY GODD!! WHEN I SAW THIS I GENUINELY STARTED SMILING SO WIDE, GIGGLING AND SOBBING TEARS OF JOY RN ❤️❤️ IM SO EXCITED TO PLAY!!
I was gonna wait for this to release before starting a new playthrough, but I got too excited and couldn't wait in the end >o<. Does anyone know if downloading the new beta to replace the old one will reset previous choices and personality of the MC? I'm in the middle of a moment and don't want to start over ^_^''
As far as I know you can continue a save file unless the new beta actively replaces things which this one shouldnt I have continued save files across multiple betas
Amazing, thank you 👏👏
saw the notification and screamed in joy :3
YIPPEE!!! everyone celebrating the full prologue, will be playing after my tattoo 100%
Getting the notification made my entire day! So excited!!
Excited to play after work!
THE WHOLE PROLOGUE?!?! i need to boot up the game holy CRAP
Sitting in the diner and seeing Cider being an option for a kid to order is so wild to be as someone from the UK until an american friend who also plays this explained it's just Apple Juice+ in America lol. Still, I love the rolling build up of a autumnal melancholy mood for Step 2 and it's characters. Very atmospheric.
OH MAH GLOB!!! Just what I needed!!!!!
OH MAN I am so ready to play this after work!!
HOLY FUCK I CANT WAIT
Hallelujah! Finally some serotonin
What's really fun is that I haven't played the beta in a long time. Like back since there was only 1 moment or 2 completed in the step 1 part. I wanted to let it build up quite a bit so I could just have tons to go through but I kept following updates and loving every bit of it. And then last night randomly when I woke up in the middle of the night I thought of OL:NF and I set an alarm for when I got home from work to get on here and get things going. And perfectly timed this part came out. I'm so excited \o/ GB love this always.
Its here. THE UPDATE IS REAL
A reason to get through my shift. Thank you. 😭😭😭 But seriously thank you and hopefully you're enjoying your time away. ❤️💕
