GB Patch

Okay Qiu, I think it's time to relax. There's a nice bench to sit on right there. Also, important note, this beta includes one full Moment! There will still be two this month, but we decided it was smoother for beta testing purposes to give players one Moment to focus on at a time. So, this is the M

Are you ready to play? This is a big one. Today's beta includes two ENTIRE Moments! You can fully experience Rhyming Riddles and Secrets. That's four times more content than there used to be in a monthly beta. We're really ramping things up to prepare for the November early access launch. If you're

Happy beta day already! Everybody worked hard to get this finished before my surgery in a couple days and now it's here. The beta adds another full Moment, specifically "Flu Season". I hope all of you are feeling okay today because the MC isn't, haha. Also, this beta is the first made in a new build

Yes, here you go! A new beta fresh off the branch. Amazing! Not only is it way sooner than usual, this beta has added a full new Moment, Field Trip. That's the power of our expanded programming team. Plus, the final new song for the soundtrack has been scattered throughout the older events of the bu

Wow, Qiu's suddenly so excited about the fun-raiser! This beta build has completed the full experience of the Step 2 linked Moments. It's added all the remaining scenes for Tested, plus made new PJ Day scenes available. Finally! To see everything new in this beta, it does require two playthroughs wh

There's a new beta to play! However, this one does need a little explaining. It is as much content as usual, but you will have to play the beta twice to feel it. There's different scenes based on if you're playing Tested before PJ Day or if you already did PJ Day before starting Tested. Also, Tested

A new beta build is ready! This has the first half of a brand-new Moment, Tested. Tested is a linked Moment, so it will notably change based on whether you do it before the other linked Moment, PJ Day, or after. Because only the first half is in the beta, it's not possible to fully play Tested first

Happy Halloween! Again, haha. The third full Step 2 Moment, Scares & Sweets, is now playable. You can spend the night running around town alone, with Tamarack, with Qiu, or just stay home and not do much. If you're at the highest tier, you can leave your suggestions for additional choice options/MC

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

Happy new year (again)! It's almost a month into 2026, but we've officially got the first beta of the year ready to go. There is a section of this Moment that has so many alterations, it is absurd. Please let us know if you run into any issues. If you're at the highest tier, you can leave your sugge

EDIT: There was an issue with character sprites displaying for some players. Shawna created a build with fixes for that! The 1.5.3 files have been replaced, so you can just use the links here to get the fixed version. This is the very last beta of 2025 🎉. It continues progress into Step 2 with the

Hi, beta testers! We've got a small update to the beta build today. There's no new scenes in this version. This update allows you to load save files you made in the public demo in the beta, the new tutorial, some minor fixes, and, most notably, a feature to see which song is currently playing! The a

Hey everybody! Here's some fun news. We'd like people who haven't played the beta to test the upcoming demo before we make the official update. So, it's now possible to play the whole new demo a few days early 🎉. But! (as Qiu would say) There's a few things to know: It can only be downloaded from I

Edit: There was an issue with build 1.4.23, so we've replaced the all links with a new 1.4.24 version! It's beta day! Since the demo is getting an update later this month, we're releasing the beta extra early so you all can test the new content first. We now have the first full Moment of Step 2 play

It's beta day! Sorry it's coming so late, there were bugs to fix today and my internet didn't want to work. But it's here now and you can play Part 1 of a Step 2 Moment. I think it's quite nifty. You'll be able to see even more how there's similarities and differences in your OL2 experiences being a

We got as much done as we could this month with how busy it was in the team's personal lives and getting the new programmer, Wind Chimes, set up with the system. You can now play the final section of the Step 2 prologue! These prologues are always such a massive undertaking. It's great to finally ha

Agreed, Qiu! Another beta has arrived. I do want to say right away that playtime-wise this is shorter than we usually do. Things have been developing, though. There's fundamental fixes and QoL improvements in this build. We're also at point where things are stable enough for us to hire a new program

[Normally I don't post on Tuesday, but the beta was ready so I decided not to hold off until Wednesday. However, there may not be a post on Wednesday to make up for this schedule shift.] Alright, as sad as it is to not have any more scenes during the OL2 childhood, it's very exciting to be continuin

It's been a long beta road, but we now have a full Step available for testers! Saying goodbye to childhood is sad, but at least the gang will be back for Steps 2, 3, and 4. In a way, things are still only beginning for your Our Life life 💕 If you're at the highest tier, you can leave your suggestio

It's time for the penultimate Step 1 beta! There's only one small part left, this build is most of the ending. We'll be saying goodbye to baby Ren and baby Baxter here 🥺️ However, that's not everything that's happened. Shawna has done a lot this month. They completely updated the settings screen an

[EDIT: There was an error we had to risk right away. If you have version 1.4.15 please download the 1.4.16 build instead!] Hey! The end of the final Moment is here, plus the first few scenes of the Fall Ended section. After how the last beta left off, this is more forgiving, haha. But forgiveness is

Hey everyone, the latest beta is ready! It includes most, though not all, of the last Step 1 Moment. Home is super large and has a lot of complicated branches/alterations. The amount of content in this beta would normally be enough to be full new Moment, twice as much as normal. For Home, that much

True words Mrs. Murray 😄. The February beta is ready to go! It features Part 2 of Colorful Class, but also the first few scenes of the 10th Moment, Home. That's a really big Moment so we decided to get a head start on it. The extra testing needed for that is why the beta is launching later in the d

Pop quiz! Prepare the calculators! This month's beta adds the first part of Colorful Class. The script isn't as over-sized and massively complicated as Mixed Up was, but it does have this highly immersive math test system. If you're at the highest tier, you can leave your suggestions for additional

Hello! There is a beta this month. Phew. It's coming right at the end and late in the day, but I can't even begin to explain the complicated programming the second half of Mixed Up has. I am extremely grateful to Shawna for turning my completely unrestrained scripting into something that actually fu

Happy beta day! We're back to adding scenes from your childhood days. This Moment, Mixed Up, has you choose between hanging with the boy's club or Tamarack and granny. You can do either! Both activities are in the beta. If you're at the highest tier, you can leave your suggestions for additional cho

We did it 🥳️!! It's a double beta update in one month. You can now hang out some more with fourteen-year-old Qiu. Earlier this month, Part 2 of Trick or Treat came out. That's also in this build. I will say that I haven't been able to add any suggestions people have made for these newer scenes yet,

Halloween has come early! This beta is specifically Trick or Treat Part 2. We're hoping to have a double update this month with that Step 2 expansion beta at the very end of October. Though, Tamarack's Step 2 intro scene got an improvement this time around. You can now see her finished CG 😄 Also, t

Edit: There was a very odd bug that caused an error if you tried to load a save file on a page that didn't have every save slot filled out. We're sorry that happened. I've updated the main download files with new builds and will update the mirrors when things finish uploading. ###### Hey! It's late,

Happy Halloween! In August, haha. Today's build adds Part 1 of the Trick or Treat DLC Moment in Step 1. However, next month won't be Part 2 of this Moment. In September there's gonna be more Step 2 prologue scenes added. The full version of the Halloween event will come out in October proper. Right

Yeah, I wasn't gonna post on a Tuesday, but I realized I'm leaving on a trip tomorrow and it'd be better to just have the build come out before then. There's no law saying I have to post at the exact same time everyday, haha. So we've now got the first Step 1 DLC Moment fully playable. Hooray! You c

Phew, we've got the build ready just in time! Thank you for the patience with this update. It's been a busy month. But we can now share the first look into the Step 1 DLC with half of Slumber Party ✨ Also, this event does split at one point and getting one branch will show you more scenes than the o

Well, well, well, here we are already, with all five of the free-to-play Moments of Step 1 in the beta build. Yes, "Magic" is complete at the start of May, despite it being nearly double the length of Part 1 from last month. It's amazing. If you're at the highest tier, you can leave your suggestions

It's time for a new beta build! This version includes the first part of a brand-new Moment, Magic. And that Moment happens to be the last one that will be included in the free-to-play version of Step 1. Once all three parts are in the beta we'll be moving on to the DLC Step 1 Moments 👀 If you're at

All of Hide & Seek is ready to go! Since I'm going on a trip at the end of the month me and Shawna worked hard to have this ready ASAP. That's four Moments done in total. If you're at the highest tier, you can leave your suggestions for additional choice options/MC reactions for these new scenes HER

Here we go! It's the start of another adventure and MC is asking the important questions, haha. This month's beta has added Part 1 of a brand-new Step 1 Moment. If you're at the highest tier, you can leave your suggestions for additional choice options/MC reactions for these new scenes HERE. Disclai

We've got another build in the middle of the month! Hooray. Our third Step 1 Moment, Fancy Fun, is now playable. It's Tamarack's half of the event so you know it's gonna be eventful, haha. If you're at the highest tier, you can leave your suggestions for additional choice options/MC reactions for th

IMPORTANT EDIT: So, for some reason, Google Drive simply doesn't work for Android. I have no clue why the app is broken but there's no way I've been able to fix it on my end and it hasn't gone away like random issues sometimes do. Here is a Dropbox upload instead. Android Download Dropbox [Dropbox m

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

Alright! We've gotten a beta together for you all. This one is back to childhood with the first part of the "Wheels" Moment. It's the companion story to Walks. Things will be a bit different in Wheels depending on if you've played Walks already or not, and the same goes for Walks if you've done Whee

Okay, so I said betas weren't gonna be 20k+ anymore but that'll be for the future, haha. This is a very special expansion that had to be finished this month. The preview of the Step 2 prologue is here 🥳️! And it's around 24,000 words in length. We can finally share a bit of what Qiu and Tamarack wi

Oh my God, we did it. Here is a full beta of the final Our Life: Beginnings & Always story 😭. I don't even know what to think about that, so I'll simply get into the explanation of how it works. The story has no voice acting intentionally and is an entirely separate build from the main game. On PC

Hi! We've put together this month's beta build for OL2. It picks up where the prior beta left off and finishes the Moment "Walks". As a reminder, Walks is a Linked Moment but so far the other part of the link, Wheels, doesn't exist. Hopefully I can start writing that event relatively soon, haha. For

And here's the actual beta build! We're finally past the prologue and into Step 1 for real. Woo! This beta build shows off the Linked Moments feature by including the opening scenes shared between Walks and Wheels. It also has part one of Walks, but not the entire Moment. The first part (and the sec

Hello again already! What a surprise, haha. This month almost didn't have a new beta build, but it came together in the end. Hooray! Everybody on the team worked hard to make this happen before I left on my trip. But I also have to release this the same day I'm leaving, and that means there's a doub

Sorry sir, it's too late to escape now. We've got one more Baxter beta for you all! There's only a tiny amount of new alterations in terms of script content, but it's quite a bit more polished now. This is a lot closer to what the actual launch build is gonna be like. So, if you've been waiting for

[I'm sorry, the original mirror builds were the older beta! If you downloaded from the mirrors when the post first went up, please use the main links now or the newly updated mirror builds to get the actual current beta.] You're very correct there, Qiu. Things are changing around Golden Grove and GB

Yes Baxter, here we are. This is it. The beta we've got for you today has the entire story of Mr. Ward!!!! Thank God. I do need to explain, though, that generally a beta update is 20-25k words of new content. However, this build is 90,000 words bigger than the last one. All added in less than 30 day

Alright everybody, this should be the penultimate beta for Baxter! Step 3 was finished before and now there's a very good amount of Step 4 to experience. But, as you might be able to tell from the screenshot, Baxter's not gonna make things easy. For the MC or himself. Good luck, ahah. Windows/Linux

Baxter Step 3 is here! Hooray! Now, there are still issues with his content working in conjunction with the normal Cove scenes, so it's technically not entirely complete. But if you just play Baxter's stuff it's the whole thing and should be all good. How unbelieve that it's come this far 😭. Window
