Our Life Step 4 is out now! 🎉🎉🎉
You can finally continue your story after the credit sequence with a final five-year time-skip. Return to Sunset Bird once more for a heartwarming epilogue.
Our Life: Beginnings & Always is a nostalgic Visual Novel where you create your own character and grow from childhood to adulthood with the lonely boy next door. It’s free to play with optional DLCs that are on sale during Step 4’s launch week!
Steam Page (Windows and Linux)
Itch.io Page (Windows, Linux, Mac, and Android)
If you already have the game, it should update automatically on Steam (though we did have to do multiple updates so you might have to uninstall/reinstall). For Itch, you'll need to delete the old version and download the new base build/any DLCs you own.
Full Game Features:
4 different periods of life to experience: childhood, adolescence, young adulthood, and fully grown
Name, appearance, personality, and pronoun (he, she, or they) customization for your character
Change your character's details however you like as you grow, including transitioning to new pronouns
Shape your personality, feelings, and preferences, then see them reflected in the story as characters remember who you are
1 love interest, Cove Holden, whose personality, interests, and appearance will develop in a custom way over the years based on his experiences with you
Decide for yourself how quickly or slowly the relationship with Cove develops by setting a unique dynamic; from love at first sight to last minute confessions to always being friends and more
A welcoming, sentimental story that can easily be enjoyed over and over using new main character qualities or different connection types with Cove
397,000 words, 16-24 hours of content in total
Thank you so much for all of the patience! We hope it’ll be worth the wait 💕

That blurred collage 😳...can we see it w/o the text & blur? My folder of cove photos could use 1 more💚🌊
Aw, I was kind of disappointed to see that we didn't get to see the ring Cove picked out for us if we let him propose!
I haven't even finished the epilogue BUT I am dyinggg at Derek's adult voice!! I wasn't expecting it to be so deep. (⁄ ⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄ ⁄)

Ok second comment after playing through (4 times so far, I seriously haven't done anything else all day): I repeat... Amazing! Better than I even expected and I was already expecting amazing. I seriously can't contain my excitement for the future projects. Keep up the good work!!
I'll be honest I got super emotional. I'm so happy I found this game by chance. I know we have the wedding but this was such a beautiful ending and hit me with bittersweet happiness. I'm married and can honestly say the memories are so precious and you hit everything perfectly for that feeling. The growing old but not losing a minute of the love is felt in every word. Thank you!

I SEE... ENGAGEMENT RINGS???!??!?!??! I know what I'm doing tonight 😍
Soooo ready!! I know what I’m doing today! ❤️
Ah I want to play it so badly, but I also want to wait till all DLCs are out to play it as a whole!!! What should I do?! :'(
I'd say make different MCs and wait till all are out to use your main one. In the meantime you could enjoy what's out so far with a 2nd/3rd MC(s).
This is going to be the best way to destress when I get off work tonight. Omg I'm so happy <3
