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.

Sept. 2024

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 one of the few games that I have that will never get uninstalled from my computer. The DLCs are wonderfully written and so worth the price. Even the additional love interests are wonderful. This is my comfort game and I cannot fully express just how much joy this game brings me. Can't wait for the new game to fully come out!

May 2024

Honestly, I've been playing this game since I was a kid and it was in it's early demo stage before it had a steam page. At times, it's kinda cheesy, but I don't really mind it considering the game is comforting and inclusive. In my opinion, it's a pretty good game (even without DLC), so I do recommend giving it a try if you're into visual novels! :o)
