Our Life: Beginnings & Always is a feel-good simulation, as well as a “feel-better” one, where painful emotions such as sadness, anger, stress, and worry can all be expressed, then met with reassurance, understanding, and support.
It’s a wholesome experience that faces large steppingstones of life, while having a focus on familiar everyday moments. With notable amounts of customization for even tiny details, you can enjoy pleasures as simple as having a preferred type of drink and a neighbor who cares enough to remember what it is.

- 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
- Font style and size customization. Hit the "A" key to open a screen that has text appearance options
- 397,000 words, 16-24 hours of content in total

Jamie Last (changeable name) has spent the last couple weeks on a summertime high. At eight-years-old, nothing is better than what feels like endless days of school-less adventures, especially when you live walking distance from the beach. While coming home under a scorching sunset one fine evening, Jamie is approached by a stranger. The man is looking for a kid who can do him a favor, and he’s even offering to pay for it. He wants Jamie to please be friends with his only child. The person is Mr. Holden, Jamie’s new neighbor, as well as the father of the odd, and oddly named boy, Cove. Whether Jamie wants to play along or not, Cove isn’t going anywhere. He's present in Jamie's life for far longer than they ever would've guessed.
And then the long days of vacation finally come to an end. Summer may not be able to last forever, but Jamie can take comfort in knowing it will come back again someday…

One of the best Romance Visual Novels I have ever played. I got all of the DLC before my first play-through, so I'm not entirely sure what the base game is like. But, it was an incredible and emotional experience. The wedding DLC had me bawling. It really felt like my family was there reminiscing and wishing me a happy future. Throughout my play-through, I could of been convinced that the characters were real ppl. After finishing the game and all 3 romance routes, I will truly miss them. This may be the first visual novel that I actually replay a route.
Now, having said all of that, there are some critiques I have to make. These BY NO MEANS ruin the experience. They are just things that I noticed. First, some of the visuals are not the best. Sometimes the proportions are off and I would rush through the text to get it off my screen. Also, sometimes the VA could be better. The most notable for me would be grown Derek's voice. It almost felt like they artificially lowered their voice. My final critique would be how all of the physical intimacy is cut short. Now, I do not expect sex scenes, as this is not one of those games (though I would pay for additional content for it), but it could of been implied that things happened, like a cut to black. Every time and I mean every time the ML cuts it off right in the middle of the hot n heavy. I can understand Cove doing so. He needs lots of time to adjust to any advancement to your relationship. But, Derek & Baxter do the same thing?! Your telling me the guy who has been pining for you for 10 years who has been explicitly called out for wanting to see you in a bathing suit would shut it down while in the middle?!?!? It could of at least been written as it being interrupted not just stopping before being interrupted. And with Baxter, you go 2 a secondary location just the 2 of u where there is no chance to be interrupted and nothing happens?!?! By the last stage of the game you like have the whole will they wont they that turns into a whole whirlwind, and I just don't believe that before you leave you don't do anything but sleep in the same bed. How can all 3 MLs want to protect their chastity?!
Anywhosies, this game is a roller coaster that I am way to invested in. It was magical. You should absolutely play it.
COVE JAMES HOLDEN MY BELOVED!!! Just finished my first playthrough (first because I will definitely be doing more) and it was an absolute rollercoaster of emotions never in my otome/romance book loving life have I met a love interest so emotionally and mentally fleshed out. I adore him with all my heart and my only complaint about him is that he's fictional!!!
This game easily earned a special place in my heart
I first played this game like 2-3 years ago in Itch, and I've been hooked since then. i bought all of the DLCs and everything but it's still not enough😭 I NEED MORE!!!
I respect the creators' decision of leaving this game as it is now tho, i'm excited for OLNF, I highly recommend it
Do you enjoy long walks on the beach?
Do you wish you had a wholesome childhood?
Life long childhood friendships that last into adulthood?
A family who adores you?
A man who loves you so much he can't stop bawling about it?
LOOK NO FURTHER
Seriously though, this is my favorite dating sim hands down and I've played a lot of dating Sims. My demi heart couldn't be happier, this will definitely be a comfort game for the foreseeable future. Desperately looking forward to their next game Now and Forever to be released in full. ❤️
Hey guys! I just got this beautiful and awesome game but I have a small problem and that is that once you get to make your character it’s all glitch, like I’m only able to put my name and then once you try to do something else it doesn’t let me do anything else.
I play my games on the Steam Deck so is it just a Steam Deck problem or is it the game? Is there anything I can do to fix it? I really wanna play this game!

I LOVE this game. I'm pretty sure I played it when it came out, and it's really good. It's one of the game where I actually bought the DLC. The game does have a lot of customization, especially when you compare it to other visual novels. It is a decently long game, and I love how there is actually plot in the game rather than straight to dating. Overall, great game, would recommend!

I'm not really the type to leave comments or review, but I just wanted to say that I love this game with all my heart. Be it the characters, the way you can influence your protagonist personality with the choices you make, the cozy ambiance or the story, all of it. This game has a really special place in my heart and I can't wait to play the next opus of GB Patch studio, Our lives : Now & Forever, to see if it will come to keep it company.
very good game i am homosexual
Better childhood simulator
Need more Baxter tbh HHAHAHAHAHA, can't get enough of that guy xD
Played this on Itch.io. Cove could turn anyone gay, 10/10 this hits hard when you're depressed
best game eves
Very good game
The writing is really good and I never felt bored playing this game, even during the slower days. I also think all the characters are fully fleshed out and are a joy to interact with. It's nice that you're able to be queer as well. As someone who's demisexual it was a nice surprise to get that representation.
Our Life: Beginnings and Always is, without a doubt, one of the most heartwarming and emotionally impactful games I've ever played. It has made me smile, cry, and feel emotions I didn’t even know I was capable of experiencing. The storytelling is beautiful, and the level of character customization allows you to truly immerse yourself in the world the developers have lovingly crafted.
When the Wedding Pack was released, I was overjoyed. It felt so personal, especially since I had never really imagined having a wedding, even while being in a long-term relationship with my now-fiancé. But being able to plan and experience such a beautiful event in the game made me realize how much I wanted that in my own life. This game helped me connect with feelings I didn’t know I had, and for that, I am forever grateful.
Our Life is easily one of the greatest dating sims I’ve ever played. It’s a deeply emotional and customizable experience that I keep coming back to again and again. Every single part of this game is filled with love and care, and I can’t thank the developers, writers, and creators enough for making such an immersive and touching experience. Highly recommended!
This is sweeter than pure sugar.
I will admit this is the game that will not expand much anymore but I will still come back to it over and over again. The player is given so many choices of who they wish to be while developing relationships with so well made characters. It even touches the fragile topics like adoption and mental health which makes lots of players feel included.
I hope the y make another one like this one. i had some much fun with this and the whole growing up experience was the best part.
