[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 Patch Games. This beta brings us to the long awaited conclusion of the Step 1 prologue! Hooray 🥳️. It's taken absolutely ages to get to this point, haha. But going forward OL2 will be getting much more frequent updates. It's exciting.

Another change is that now there's a suggestions thread for those on the Influencer tier! It applies to this latest beta. You can check that out HERE. Now here are the 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.

Also, 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!

Important Notes:

  • Saves from prior builds may not be loadable in this beta
  • This will be the final beta available at the Fans tier. Every beta after this will be at the Insiders tier and up. This beta won't be removed from the Fans tier, however. It'll be considered an extended demo and kept as a bonus reward for those on the Fans tier until the content is released publicly to everyone.

New Content:

  • 18,000 words of new scenes
  • New locations, a new music track, and a new CG were implemented
  • MC's room decorating system is in place
  • A leaf falling animation appears in the deep forest
  • Small fixes to typos/errors from the prior build

Thank you for all the patience as OL: N&F slowly came along in between our work on Our Life: B&A. I hope you'll enjoy how the prologue resolves, and that you'll look forward to getting into the heart of the story later. I'm certainly ready to put a lot more time into in developing this game. We're gonna do our best 💖!

You just dropped baxters beta last week, you can't drop the new ol2 beta now! How am I going to survive the drought till your next reliese now? 🥲 I have no self-controll and will binge it this weekend. It's impossible for you to keep pushing out betas this fast, but it's to late, I am already used to it.

I absolutely adored this beta!! I could not stop smiling while playing it. I cannot wait for future betas, let alone the whole game eventually! It feels so warm and cozy, like I never want to leave.

I just finished the prologue and I HAD to comment on my feelings about it. First, to make it short, this game is beyond perfection while it is not even finished. Also, the song track "lovely" on the piano is now and definitely my favorite of all. I can't explain in words how it made me feel. I was physically and emotionally happy, peaceful and comfortable, as if nothing could get to me. This melody was so sweet, so beautiful, so… lovely. like, I'm still crying. I can't even imagine what it will be like when the full game comes out, but what I'm sure is that it will forever be my favorite comfort game and I'll keep it all my life.

Mari

I 100% made the correct decision when choosing to support you on patreon! Your work is utterly fantastic I love everything you release!! I'm invested for the next couple of decades to come lol you're stuck with me <3

VerlysGamingLife

I wanted to comment that the the added sound effects were great and the cute animated falling leaves were stunning.

Kayl

I just love this so much! I cannot wait for more!

RetainedKitten

I really enjoyed the conclusion of the prologue. I don't care what Baxter says I'm in love with the town and people of Golden Grove..lol

Rachel

Just played it and omg I'm SO excited for the game! Cannot wait for it to come out! The Beta just made me even more excited for it

Konoi Kurozora

Ah, this is such a cute update! I really liked the doom decorating part too - I found it way more intuitive than in OL1 actually! One little inconsistency I had was my MC thinking "More like your neighbhors were lucky! They got to live next to you." (after the decorating part) - my MC is very shy, reserved and pretty insecure, so that thought came sort of out of nowhere in this case.

just wanted to say that i looove the dynamic of a tsundere mc (specifically with qiu in my playthrough)! the personality system is amazing <3 as someone who likes playing mcs who get frustrated about their feelings, i really appreciate the implementation of it. can't wait for the next update!

Kawaii Kokoro

Thank you so much for such a cute game <3 The music, art and everything about it is so beautiful and made me cry happy tears. This will definitely become another comfort game for me! :) Thank you for all your hard work!

Anonymous

omg there's an option to be a tsundere? 😭 i have to try find that

Mari

I just played it and wow! I felt so giddy and carefree again! It actually felt like I was 10 all over again but without the bad things lol, thank you so so much from the bottom of my heart for creating all these comfort games and comfort characters for me, really. Your games really do allow me to experience a childhood I could never have because of trauma. Coming across the first Our Life game was one of the best things to ever happen to me!

Itachun

Played through it all and it's very cute. But why do our friends dads always gotta be hot? xD

Anonymous

I haven't fully played the game yet but I thought I'd tell you guys there seems to be a bug of some sort? When I first me Tamarack her sprite was all sorts of messed up with chunks of her out of frame? It's a little hard to explain but I'd thought I'd bring it to your attention! I still love this game and can't wait for more!

gbpatch

That usually means the game is having trouble loading. You can try turning off the animations to make the game easier to run or see if there's a driver or graphics card that needs updating on your device! The engine we use is very sensitive to that kind of thing, aha. Glad you like it!

Nullenara

Yeah that happened to me too when I played a route like that and I agree that it came out of nowhere lol

I loved the new update!! I found the ending of it strangely nice with the sad and relaxing tone at the end, I'm looking forward to seeing more of it when and if it does come around. And the long awaited (at least for me) room decorating part was way better than expected! The little poofs made it really cute and flowed with the clicking of the choices and atmosphere! I can't wait to decorate our future rooms in the next steps. Seeing the diner table for the first time and the CG of both Qiu and Tamarack was wonderful, they are as cute as ever. And we finally met Mr. Yusuf! Kind of wish we could've seen his sprite but it was still great meeting him. It was nice finding out their drink preferences and I'm also excited to see how their comfort drinks will play into it later on (if that's still on board from the planning stages a while back ofc)! I loved every bit of new content! Y'all did a wonderful job again like as always!

gbpatch

Mr. Yusuf has no sprite in Step 1 because you don't see him again at that age! For players who don't follow the game, they're meant to have no idea he'll appear as a major character in later Steps. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Junexzee

Ooh okay! Thank you for telling me, I didn't know that. That's exciting to imagine others reactions on his appearance!

killjinx

every time i extract the folder it doesn't work :(

leogrl19

This was sooooo Amazing. Like... speechless(textless?) Just finished and. I don't know, Team. I don't know. I/my MC may not be able to Survive the Tamarack in all this. (I'm her Favorite? FB status change? Tire swing date night?) All I know is my 10 yr old, stoic/side-eye/stubborn MC is now fluent in Gay Disaster. (i'm cry) LET HER PROPOSE WITH A RING POP ALREAAAADY

gbpatch

Does it not open or is there an error? What program are you using to open it?

Anonymous

have you tried running it in compatibility mode, assuming you're on Windows? that worked for me when the program told me I needed to install an app to run it (even though it's an exe)

Cheese-And-Rice, Mooney

Imagine if you can actually do that or if the characters do that if you have a crush as kids, that would be so adorable😭

leogrl19

*👀 candy store sketch* I meann.... It's my first OL experience starting at full CRUSH, so I will devour all crumbs. Already a Mess every time (Queen Mother) Opal mentions marriage intent. Hoping Tam utilizes notepad paper you can give back - imagine MC being hit by a paper airplane only to open it to: (well, first - Qiu's list haha - but then:) 'Will you Marry me?' 🫢😭

Anonymous

Hey! Just wanna tune in and say I really like the touch of the music getting additional layers whenever Yusuf appeared. Caught me offguard in the best way possible, hoping to see more of that throughout the game!

Yessenia

Oh no, I'm about to be telling everyone that my first crush was my friend's dad all over again. Sorry Mr Holden lol

Ingrid

I love this game so much already and it's only in beta. Also not sure why or if it's because I watched it recently but Qiu and Tamarack both remind me of two of the characters in Breakfast Club(1985) Game is sooo cozy and these two are so cute!

Bee Jorg

I finally downloaded to try it out and oh my GOSH everyone is just so darling!!! Tamarack is such an absolute sweetheart and Qiu is very entertaining. I cant wait for the full game to release!!!
