OL2: Beta Build 1.5.6 🎃 (PC, Mac, Android)

Tamarack's ahead of the game, as usual, haha. It's not October, the year's just getting started. But we're releasing the first part of the Halloween themed Step 2 Moment in February!

The Moment is longer if you go out alone or with Tamarack. Choosing to go with Qiu ends the beta sooner in this build. You can get some of their content, just not as much as the other options.

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

And since we've had some problems in the past with so many people downloading beta builds that they get locked out by Google Drive, I've uploaded mirror builds! If the first ones listed don't work, you can try these.

Windows/Linux Download Mirror

Android Download Mirror (Dropbox)

Or you can bypass the quota by logging in to a Google Drive account, then on the file's download page, click "Add shortcut to Drive" in the upper right corner. Save it to your Drive, then create a new folder, put it inside, and download the folder!

Save files from the prior beta should work in this beta!

New Content:

  • Step 2 Scares & Sweets Part 1

  • Added backgrounds that was missing in prior build

  • Added sound effects to some older Moments

  • Fixes to typos/errors from the prior build

###################

It's always interesting when there's Moments that can be directly compared to another Moment in an earlier Step. Trick-or-Treat and Scares & Sweets take place on the same day, four years apart. It really shows what's changed and what hasn't.

Is PJ Day finished? I keep getting the thank you screen on it? I am playing on an older save if that makes a difference, but it's never been a problem before.

Any particular reason why the Halloween moment for step 2 is a mainline moment rather than a dlc like in step 1?

G
GB Patch · February 27, 2026

It is a DLC Moment! The game isn't developed with free content first and then DLC content is added later. Writing and art for DLC content is often done before content for base game stuff. This Moment is actually the first I wrote for the whole Step. And because writing and art is done in no particular order, beta content can come out in a similarly loose order.

How can we report a glitch in game? I can't find the option to do so

L
LukkaDev · February 27, 2026

There's not an option "in game" Unless you mean to just report in general. In which case, people usually share the report here on the Patreon or in the Discord

I"m with you on that. My mc and myself doesn't like doing anything without Qiu lmao

Cheese-And-Rice, Mooney · February 26, 2026

I was curious about something (spoilers for those who didn't play yet) is it intentional (because maybe it isn't ready) for you not to be with Tam and Qiu when you choose to go with both or is it because I accepted to do the riddle and "lost time"? I noticed that even if choosing to go with both I don't get to actually go with neither as both Qiu and Tam already left.

G
GB Patch · February 27, 2026

There isn't an option to go with both. You can go with Tamarack, Qiu, or alone. Can you let me know what option you chose? Maybe the phrasing was confusing.
