Our Life: Patreon Bonus Moment Incomplete Beta (PC, Mac, Android)
We've got something playable for the Bonus Moment today! But it is incomplete. And, unfortunately, it's the main portion sexy times scenes that aren't done. To be transparent, I've struggled with completing them. I'm more worried than usual about things seeming out-of-character or being poorly represented or for something to be wrong with the game formatting and so the incorrect descriptions get used for the MC in an intimate moment. Sexual and wholesome is a hard line to balance it seems, ahah. I definitely will still get this finished, it's just taking longer than my normal estimates for Our Life content.
But at least all the non-18+ scenes are done! Right now there's around 14,000 words of content. You can get different events if you decide to pursue going further with Cove or you choose not to/have mature content turned off by default. Feel free to try out one version of events or both.
The bonus Moment doesn't include voice acting. Our team of actors signed up for the game itself, this kind of extra content isn't something we have the rights to use their work in.
Thank you for all of your patience and I hope you'll have fun with what we've done so far 💕

sadly it says the page cant be found is this extra scene still available?
This is an old version! You can get the full moment here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/bug-fixes-bonus-54118792
how do you play the demo? i downloaded the files but now what?
you open the .exe
Just played, and I love it. It's so well handled and still keeps that sunny warm feeling the rest of the game has. I love that they really have become adults now, but still are so young and have so much to learn still!
Aahh~ this fanservice is too much.. I already played this thrice while working.. Excited for the completed version!
Played yesterday, and I wanted to ruminate on it a bit before I chimed in. First of all, I ADORED this moment. There were several times where I turned from my computer to smack my bed and scream into my pillow because Cove is EVERYTHING to me and even in this moment leading up to *ahem* adult activities, he’s so himself and consistent and sweet and shy. I understand the struggle with actually writing sex scenes with a character that WANTS it but is uncomfortable/nervous about it. My usual route when I run into this kind of problem is to scour the internet. Read articles, blog posts, fanfictions etc. The main problem is that sex and asexuality is not exactly common reading material at this time. So there’s not the widest body of work to choose from. Being asexual myself I also pull from how I myself felt in these situations. But regardless, I think we all trust you to write Cove true to himself and as the adult he is, is becoming. I think one mistake that’s commonly made is to treat asexual and/or autistic people like children incapable of having adult lives and desires. I’m excited to see where this goes.
Wait, is Cove asexual? I thought he's demisexual. At least in my playthroughs. His sexuality doesn't change based on our choices, right?
Just finish it and it was genuinely so good. Im so excited to see it when its finished and done and how the interaction actually goes. I really feel like his character is very spot on. Thank you so much for all the hard work and effort your putting into making it perfect!
i just finished! this is so sweet... i’m already in love with it! aaaa i’m glad they got to have this special moment together
just wanted to let you know that what you have so far is amazing! cove’s personality was spot on and the same as always. i understand how difficult it can be to write sex, but i know you’ll be able to pull through it. this little preview looks really promising. i’m excited to see cove’s “mature” side and how he’ll treat the MC in such an intimate situation. if anyone knows how to write cove, it’s you guys. take all the time you need, you got this.
I just finished and UGH that made me so happy. Thank you so much for making it a full moment rather than just the smut. As fun as that might've been, I also love just seeing the way MC and Cove get to be together. Truly makes me so happy! Take your time figuring out how best to incorporate the mature content. I'm sure that it'll be fantastic no matter what. For editing, at any parts where they're quoting 'like this' the first apostrophe for some reason is an ë. I noticed it particularly after asking Mom to spend the night and when Liz teased me soon after. Also, I chose to have Cove give me a piggy back ride and I think the description of him going down the beach with a spring in his step repeated. Just wanted to let you know since I know it's impossible to catch all the little things.
Take your time! This bonus moment was everything I wanted and more 😭😭😭
Please take all the time you need. I have no doubt everything will be wonderful, so pace yourself as much as you need to. The beta content is already spectacular and seeing it completed will be a delight worth waiting for.
Its alright, take your time! What you already had is just fantastic and I couldn't imagin someone out there who isnt fully understanding!
I loved playing beta! I do not blame you at all, writing smut for characters like Cove is super hard because even though you want all the steamy and sexy stuff, you have to remember to stay in character. I have faith in your abilities and the rest of the moment is going to be amazing!! you got this!
do I have to d anything after extracting it?
After extracting the zip file you get a folder and inside the folder there should be an icon you can just double click to start the game.
I just finished it and omg that was so cute! I was giggling like a teenage girl the entire time lmao:)
I just finished playing the beta, and it's wonderful! As always, Cove is sweet and I'm happy that he's becoming more confident about expressing his feelings. I feel like in Step 3, he's had thoughts like this with the MC and in this bonus moment, he doesn't shy away from those thoughts anymore. <3 I'm so proud of him! And thank YOU for making this an experience for us!
AHHHHHH THIS IS SO CUTE!!! I'm literally so excited for the full release of this because It already gave me butterflies and got me teary-eyed.
Is anyone else struggling with the download? It's probably something weird on my end but figured I'd ask. My computer just won't download it :(
Maybe see if you have a pop up blocker or scanner is stopping you from downloading from google drive. That sometimes causes issues.
Oh god. Okay, I can't wait any longer! It's only been a minute but I'm downloading it 😪
I'm going to try my hardest to wait until the full release is out but knowing myself I'm gonna give that up in the next 10 minutes 😅
I have absolute faith in your ability to provide sexy times and I'm not just saying that as a completely biased person who just wants sexy times and will say anything to encourage you to make them.
I just gotten Patreon and I definitely am happy that I did! This was so wholesome! Thank you even if it isn't complete I think it was amazing and I'm definitely tempted to replay the game again just by playing this bit :3
Tbh I was thinking this too lol. I was like they must be struggling with how to make 18+ content with someone like Cove who is just too adorable for words. I'm sure however it turns out that it will be great! I'd much rather prefer you guys being able to write how you think it should go than how you think we would want it to go, if that makes sense? But I can't wait to play this beta now :)
OMG YESSS THANK YOUUU!! such an awesome update to wake up to 😍😍😍
That was so sweet! Looking forward to the full thing, but even as is it's perfect! Thank you so much for your hard work!
I'm not surprised it's so hard to write 18+ stuff with Cove. He is difficult to write when he is out of his comfort zone, I think. I've already said here that I was writing an 18+ stuff with Cove, and well I wrote 20000 words without being able to get to the actual stuff. I try to be "semi-canon" while using a post step 3 Cove, and the boy just does not want to do what I want him to! To add complexity to this, my MC is quite shy, so she's not taking things in charge either. Well, all this to say, you have all my encouragements, and thanks for your very difficult work on this! (and everything else!) EDIT: I've played the beta, and OH MY GOD, I'm not ready for the spicy stuff! I'll chuckle like a 14 years old...
This was absolutely adorable, I'm so glad to get a sneak peek at what you're planning. I cooed and sighed throughout it all. You're doing amazing and please take all the time you need!! I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks we'd rather wait and have your phenomenal and carefully crafted ideas put to life than have you release something you're not sure of. Thanks for all your hard work!!
ill gladly await the full release
It's beautiful
*screams* I cannot wait to play this!!! 😊
ahh... my heart
I do want to say, the sheer fact everyone is being cautious and aware of that line makes me feel better. And it would be fair to have an option to always pop up that can end the moment for if they are uncomfortable and Cove can be supportive and understanding, regardless of reasoning.
Okay, while playing the game, I had so many emotions overwhelming me. Like I felt that I could cry at any moment because Cove was so adorable, and I was cooing at every second. I love how many details are going on in the game and how he tries so hard to express himself in a situation that he had never been to, but it was all worth it in the end.
Oml. That was the cutest thing ever. I didn't know what to do with myself in the beginning. I can't wait for the full release, but take all the time you need. Even I don't know how Cove would handle this. This little snip it of the bonus moment was more than enough to hold me over. Thank you for all your hard work. ♡♡♡
I did have a feeling something was going to be released today--it's awesome that you're putting out a beta for us to play for the holiday weekend (for those of us in the US, at least). Thank you for the transparency and good luck!
🙇🏻♀️🙇🏻♀️🙇🏻♀️
ooooh heck youre going to break me
Thank you so much for all of your hard work - I'm sure it's absolutely lovely ❤️ I hope you're not stressing yourself with the 18+ stuff. It's better to just put it aside until an idea pops up and it feels right 😊 We can all wait - after all, your attention to detail and the wholesome and inclusive vibe are just two of the many reasons why the game is so amazing 🌸
Well Cove has shown a side of him breifly that can be good with intimate situations but shy boi probably is gonna take some effort to get there lol
As far as I'm concerned, there's no rush. Take your time until things feel right ♡
Take all the time you need to feel like you got it right! I'll be patient 😌
I completely understand having trouble writing the sexy scenes involving Cove, especially with how shy he is! Please take your time with this bonus moment, I really don't mind waiting longer! Thanks for all your hard work!
I'm going to wait patiently for the full thing but nice work. Keep going strong!
I'm honestly glad it isn't finished yet because finals are still happening and I still haven't even finished the Step 3 DLC yet, lol.
Thank you so much for your hard work! Please take your time! 💛
I look forward to playing this after work today. I also looked forward to the complete version as well.
Things are moving along nicely!
OMFG! IS IT HERE?! NOW I CAM GET MKRE TIME WITH BB COVE!
