Our Life: Now & Forever Beta Build 1.3.7 🛴 (PC, Mac, Android)
Okay, the second Moment of Step 1 is finished! Well, it's in a state where it can be beta tested. It'll still have fixes and improvements along the way. Still, you can now play Wheels from start to finish and choosing any option you want. You can also see all the differences between Walks and Wheels based on which you do first and which you do second. I think it came together to be quite a neat set of Moments 😄.
Download Links:
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.
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:
Wheels Part 2: 19,000 words of new content
Small fixes to typos/errors from the prior build
Added player suggestions from earlier feedback threads
Alright, thank you for waiting for the latest beta. This Moment in particular has an absolute ton of small branches and alterations. If you run into any errors or things not flowing right, feel free to send in a bug report in the comments or the thread in the Discord. I hope you'll enjoy your visit to the park 💕

step 2 is so devastating i CRIED hearing about qiu i feel so bad for tamarack as well
I've noticed the prolouge has more options however when u pick the newer options of how the MC feels about moving you get no dialouge which is jarring because every other choice gives narration
I don't know if this has been said before but for one; Racing is unfortunately not working. This bug has happened multiple times to me. For example: it says I passed and beat Darren, however in the next few lines it says he beat me. Also for some reason on this version it sometimes incorrectly shows the info of characters, but once I click on another characters info and back to them, it shows correctly And lastly, since 1.3.5 some outfits have been missing and have not came back. I have screenshots but I don't really know where to send them, hope these issues get fixed <3
Okay so I downloaded this, and when I got to the Step 2 preview and tried to change my character's honorific, an exception error popped up.
Thanks for mentioning that!
‘MOVE!’ ‘I /am/ moving!’ cracked me up. Also Qiu making me blush and kick my feet 🤭
Do you remember how you got the blushing and kicking feet event to happen?? I don't think I've seen that, it sounds adorableeeee
Hi! So everytime i try to download the file it tells me it has a virus, is there anyway you could fix that or am I doing some wrong?
I'm sorry, it's a false flag that randomly happens for some people with some builds and not others. You can try to tell the scanner to trust the file or to ignore the warning and see if you can get it installed.
absolutely loved this update; im going to be so torn between if i should make my MC falling with Qiu "canon" (Qiu's reaction made my heart swell and the angst-lover in me adored the "Heather" by Conan Gray vibes coming from Baxter's sprite when he finally caught up) or my MC + Baxter saving Tamarack "canon" (Baxter's little "We had.. fun" made me smile so wide, I loved my MC getting the option to ride with Baxter after, and I LOVE LOVE LOVE The Wheels Club, and a part of me hopes in vain that Baxter and Tamarack and the MC can be friends still in Phase 2 and beyond all because my pack-bonding ass got VERY attached to this dynamic very quickly 🥺). it was such a good update, thank you guys so much 💗💗💗 it's a real accomplishment to me that you got me so torn and emotionally attached to two pretty different routes within the same scene!! congrats and thank you! as for the Phase 2 sneak-peek stuff, i'll put that in a comment thread with this one so people who don't want spoilers hopefully don't have to see my babbling ✌️(i know they'd have to click on the thread to see it in mobile; idk how Patreon works on desktop, bur i hope it is similar enough to where this plan of mine is effective against spoilers)
whAT DO YOU MEAN QIU AND TAMARACK AREN'T FRIENDS ANYMORE?? that is a shock in of by itself that Tamarack was not in Qiu's "in" group. but then i full on GASPED when i read the word "HATE"?? they HATE each other?! say it ain't so!! we riot until these two become friends again! (however, my angst-loving heart is genuinely adoring this tension so, actually, it's fine, i'm just being ✨️dramatique✨️) i do love the explanations as to why their personalities changed and how that, in turn, changed their dynamic. i think that's really cool. i also love not touching their overall relationship stats (eg. Contesting, Teasing, etc) and seeing how peeks of their childhood personalities still come through. that's really fun. however, Tamarack's changes and parents really broke my heart; and Qiu not still being really good friends with her was just lemon juice in the wound, ughhh, you've successfully made me super attached emotionally to both characters, this is hell. here i am, i loving and supporting your game, and you're putting me through hell. so cruel. so rude. how could you (/tone indicator: 100% joking, totally being dramatic again). and even tho i have been in Qiu's position and feel for them as another nonbinary person; all these changes really puts me in the position where im like "my MC can't NOT be Best Friends with Tamarack!" bc i feel so bad for her and just want her to be happy 🥺🥺🥺 i wish we could have more than one Best Friend, but i am picking Tamarack out of the two every time otherwise, her personality changes make me so sad and i just want to support her and make her happy. i miss kid-Tamarack, she was such a vibe and i LOVE LOVE LOVE her; but i also can't wait to see how else you plan to torture me with Phase 2-Tamarack lol the one stat i did play with tho was if the Jealous/Envious/Neither metric, and i loved that stuff. that was super fun. especially with Qiu as Jealous while having a Crush, i loved that dynamic so much. thank you for thinking to add that customization toggle into the game, it has been so much to play with lmao i can't wait to see more of the game! Phase 1 mighy be my favorite purely for the "ah, back when things were simple" nostaglia now that your little reveal from behind the curtain has shown oH DEAR, THINGS CHANGED MORE THAN WE THOUGHT, OH NO lmao im glad we are still in Phase 1 so i can firmly hold onto this uncomplicated enjoyment before i am so wonderfully dragged into the pits of angst and awkwardness guaranteed in Phase 2. i was messing around and joking again (....mostly lol), but i AM genuinely super excited for both Phases even more than before tho! which!! i didnt think was possible! i was already excited and now i am even MORE excited?! what?!! that's crazy! good job!!! 💗💗💗
I loved this! Dr. Baumann was so cute!
I just got done playing this + the step 2 preview and I can tell that step 2 is gonna have me SOBBING
The Tamarack and Baxter shenanigans made me laugh so hard! I really enjoyed the race with Qiu and Darren but the roller skates fiasco was my favorite part!
Today I learned that you can move the photographs by clicking and dragging. Damn. It's so cool how it's so much like a scrapbook.
THE LITTLE ICONS TOO? I have been living under a rock.
I LOVE the update. There are so many heart-warming moments! It makes it hard to decide which to make canon for your MC! And the linked thing is so interesting how it flavors the experience! I and thinking currently Wheels then Walks for Kimmi since she’s crushing on Qiu. And she feels she needs to prove herself to the group to earn a spot with them (and with Qiu in particular). Totally biffing t it in the race tho is also so really really sweet and I absolutely love that scene with Qiu❣️❣️❣️
After playing around with the alternations, I found a few errors: 1) “is it because I’m girl a girl” after we race with Qiu and Darren 2) if we lose the race completely, Darren is somehow behind us and the text for winning the race plays instead 3) “tears stillstung your eyes” for when both qiu and tamarack patch us up
Thank you for the report!
I can't download it even with the download mirror 😕
I'm sorry. You can use the method to get around the download limit or try waiting a little while!
After winning the race in the scene where you make a choice on what you think of Qiu the choice "Qiu was a great pal" is shown twice in the choice selection.
Thank you!
I think it's a bug that I picked the "you wouldn't say it out loud but you would still help" option for the countdown and my mc still spoke?
Thanks for letting us know!
I loved this so much! And it's amazing we can start having a crush on them in this moment! So great, and natural
My only problem was, even if you return the save, it didn't change back to "friends" 😅 i had to start over to keep my MC being just friends again
Yay! So glad this came out on my birthday!
Happy birthday!
Yay!!!
thank youuuuuuuuu for the update <3
i had a feeling it’d be today 🎉
THIS WAS SO CUTE 😭😭😭 I especially loved the way the MC has the option to realize they have a crush, it was very nicely done
Absolutely adorable!! It's so good!
I don't know if it's just me neither I known if it happens with other genders but I made my character a male since birth and goes by He/Him, however I'm not sure if it's something that maybe I "messed up" with when clicking for mistake on the advanced pronouns option (even if I didn't change anything because I clicked on it but didn't do anything) or if the game assumes I'm not a boy since birth. Given it says to talk about some bugs if found in the game I guess this count as one. I'll write the others if I find them.
Thank you for the report! We'll check the flagging but can you tell me exactly what line referred to your MC incorrectly? I'm not exactly sure what's happening.
NICE
Baxter like the babysitter that gets paid $20 an hour to watch the neighbor's kids lol. Tamarack might be my favorite honestly. Or should I say Dr. Tamarack with Nurse Baxter
I’ve been waiting my whole life for thissss!!!!!yayayayayayayayayyssggsyayay!!!!! Yay
I'm so happy 😊
Who needs to write an English paper when a new OLN&F demo just dropped lol
