Our Life: Now & Forever Prologue Beta Build 0.06 🖤 (PC, Mac, Android)
It's time to meet the boy's club! The boy's club that turns out to have one single boy member, haha. Qiu and Renee don't identify as male when they're older. But hey, it's possible for the MC to join and if they're a boy they can bring that ratio up. And if they're not, it's an even more hilariously wrong description.
Unfortunately, this build doesn't have all of the recent MC doll clothing/accessory batches I posted previews of. It was getting late in the month and I wanted people to be able to play the new scenes. They'll be there next time!
[The build name is the same as before, but it is a new file]
New Content:
16,000 words of new scenes
MC doll eyebrows matching your chosen hair color
Earrings as a new accessory option, along with some other new MC doll pieces
The option to take a full screenshot of your MC
One new music track to hear and unlock in the music room
Man, it's exciting to finally see the other kids around town. They're both precious. I hope you'll enjoy getting to know them a little better!

My MC has a bit of a tsundere streak going on (crushing on Qiu but doesn't want to admit it) and I think it's so amusing seeing her act slightly jealous with Qiu's popularity and how he does nice things for everyone lmaooo She doesn't know how to feel about Ren but thinks Baxter is handsome and funny I actually wasn't expecting for the topic of our dad to be brought up which I ended up enjoying and hope that's something we'll come across again when we're older?? I imagine my MC still being curious about it
I love reading about different reactions or dialogue options from others who have played the scenes, it sure makes the gameplay very entertaining to go through. One nice little detail that i loved is the different reactions Qiu gets when calling the MC pretty: We got Ren totally surprised which only added to the charming scene but it didn’t get lost on me how Baxter tiny smirk disappeared then and there… I was like “Oooooh yet another hint of his crush on Autumn?”
I saw this so much and I was like, I'm so sorry~😭 but not so sorry~👀 I find this detail very interesting, it adds life to the game, but I really want to be friends with mini Baxter… 😅 it may contradict my way of being, because in general friendship comes first and if I just have a little crush on someone, but my friend too, I would be more likely to leave her place.🤷♀️
I actually gasped when Qiu called my OC pretty. And when Baxter went behind Darren and spoke for them? I laughed so loud! the "Not Darren" thing got me! I can't wait for more cute scenes between my OC and Qiu 🥺 it's going to be so hard to be patient but I know it'll be worth it!
I had to wait for a day to download it because the link wasn't working but my goodness it was worth it! I smiled and laughed so much while watching the new scenes unfold :'). When Qiu gave my mc the compliment my heart almost stopped for a second! It was SO CUTE!! <33 And the way Baxter pretended to be Ren's voice was hilarious too! It was such a Baxter thing to do!
It's so lovely!! Thank you so much for your hard work!! 🖤
And I'm back after playing! It was such a great update, and I loved meeting Ren and of course my all time favorite Baxter! I wondered how my MC would feel about them and... well, Ren and my MC were both so uneasy it was a sad sight haha! But since neither of them was too forward, my MC took a liking to both. It's funny how my MC has the least affinity for Tamarack because he's intimidated by her, to say plainly. He doesn't dislike her, but sometimes he doesn't know how to act about her. Also, I really really liked all the conversation about my MC not looking like his mom, and the whole talk about the dad. Since the start, I imagined my MC as being sad because he doesn't have a father, and the ensuing situation here was very interesting. I was sad to make Tamarack feel so bad to be honest, but I also feel like it was very enlightening to her on the long term? Anyway, all of that to say that as usual I just love these games, and I'm having so much fun making my MC the total opposite of OL1's MC! That one was bold and brave and perfectly at ease with his family and the fact he doesn't have a father, only two mothers, or with the fact he didn't know his birth family. Yet, he came to see Cliff as his father, which was a totally unexpected thing to him. This MC on the other hand is shy and a scaredy cat (for now!) and he's always been sad at not having a father, but I also don't think he'd be able to actually see an "unrelated" person as a father figure. Probably because of that specific longing for his "actual" father. Aand now I'm rambling about my MCs, so I'll stop now. Thank you for the update again!
One possible response to the club invitation is, “I don’t like boys who don’t like girls.” I don’t know if it’s a gender locked or personality locked response but so far I haven’t been able to get it with a girl MC and I think it’d be a very appropriate response for a girl MC.
It's available for a girl MC! Not sure how to unlock it though, I've been playing on a shy personality so far
Love the update! I really like to see all the different dialogue depending on your character's personality/identity <3
The new build is so good! I’m so glad to see Baxter again and i adore Ren just as much as i thought i would!
This was so good! I get more excited for the full game everyday! There were a few things I noticed though, when Qiu was talking to his club about the MC he said “[MC name] are pretty” and not “is pretty” and then there was another moment with Darren when he hid in his vest, I don’t remember which option I chose but it only happened when I chose that one, it repeated the line “The main part of his face that was visible was his eyes….” Except one ended in “sad” and the other in “hopefull”
Oh this update was so cute! My MC and Tama are such sweet friends together. Qiu's reaction to MC's favorite color was funny, depending on MC picked a color Tama was wearing or not. I also never would have guessed why Baxter's favorites are his favorites but now I know lol.
Loved the update so bad <333 little ren and baxter are so sweet and i cant wait for thr next update !! (oh also when qiu says "[m/c] are pretty", wouldn't it be "is" over "are"? im not sure maybe my brain just isn't clicking 😭)
I noticed that too, but I only noticed it on my MC that uses they/them (it might’ve happened on my she/her one too tho and I just didn’t notice)
It was so cute meeting Baxter and Ren! I hope my MC and Ren can become close friends once Ren feels more comfortable about her identity! Tamarack and Qiu are so lovely, I can't wait to play more<3
My MC is a trans boy who transitions in the years between Step 1 and 2…so there IS another boy in the boys’ club, they just don’t know it until later. Can’t wait to play this ^_^
Aaaa thank you for your updates and hard work I'm so excited for everything, especially the boys club!! <3 my mc is a demiguy (he/they) so at least that's... technically +0.5 boy to the boys club? HAHA regardless I literally just finished the demo yesterday and I'm soo happy and grateful to have more content thank you so much!!
I love this updates so much! Thank you!
Ren is just so cute and awkward! Poor kid 🤣
Currently having trouble with the windows link, but the link for android is working for me. I'll try again later! Thank you for all the hard work and the new Beta! Make sure to rest well and hydrate
can't wait to try it!
Well... My MC is a boy sometimes XD
This was a lovely surprise. I was just thinking about this game too. I know I know it won't be out for a while, but having an update like this makes me so happy.
Woah, thank you! It was so lovely to play through as always!
Really enjoyed that, as usual. Looking forward to seeing more.
Despite being warned about Ren being intimidated by girls, I was still unprepared for how awkward that meeting was 😅
Right?!? Ren's shy with boys but it's so sooo awkward with girls! 😅🤭
AAAAAAAAAAAAAH thank you so much! Tamarack is too cute. T_T I chose the option to hide behind her and her defense mode is so adorable.
Me: I've had a really long day, I'm ready to crash and call it a night. Also me: New prologue beta! I am rejuvenated, completely full of energy and serotonin.
Love IT!! heads up tho, there's an error for darren where it says at ten years old, rather than twelve years old! I had so much fun! Derek is gonna have a great time in the boys club!
Tamarack's come back are cracking me up everytime! XD I love how straight to the point and transparent she is ! <3
Same! When she went “Nah, I don’t want to join your club, I like you Qiu but I’m not sure I like these two!” she is so great lmaoo
I know we'd seen all the previews for the sprites and everything, but seeing them in-game, everyone is even more adorable than I thought, I loved it
Aaaaaaaaah I'm so happy 😊 I feel that I can fly 😶🌫️😶🌫️
Weird, my security software is convinced all the .exe files are 'threats' for some reason & keeps trying to remove them even when I redownload. It didn't do that with the last build. It's probably just panicking because it's so new at a few hours old. It should work fine if I just restore the files, right?
It do the same to me too.
Thank you for feeding us with OL2 content while you're still busy with Baxter's DLC! 💖
Wow... I wasn't expecting to be SO ANNOYED by Ren's discomfort around girls. Like "okay but you don't have to be rude about it?????!!!!"
It's annoying but it's kinda cute too!🤭 If i were there as a kid i would be very veeeery mad, but as an adult i just look and think "poor kid" and want to hug him so haaard😅🤣 he's very very shy, even with boys... poor kid
Thank you very much! Will play as soon as I can!
I didn't know I could like Baxter more than I already did until now. He's so great. I felt a little bad when Qiu calls the MC cute and Baxter's face kinda falls.
!! when was that omg??
Yes we get to meet Ren officially! I’m so excited
WOOOOO
Yay! So excited to get home and play this.
Hmmm, I seem to be having a problem. I downloaded the file, but it's the same one as the one released in June. OurLifeNFBeta-1.1.1pc (zip).
