I really REALLY loved this demo. It's scratching that Our Life itch that has never truly gone away. I love the premise, and the options of LI are varied and all have an appeal to them; it's very rare that I find myself interested in literally ALL of them! LOL
There are some notes I had while playing that I'd like to maybe see in the final release.
This first one is really nitpicky, so feel free to ignore lol. I love the character customization, but I'd like to see an option in the menu to remove the chibi from being visible from the dialogue box (I know, really weird note). I have a very specific vision of my character when I play, and every time they talk on screen, the image I have in my head and the chibi on screen are constantly at odds with each other (if that makes sense?). In my head my character matches the style of the LIs, but the chibi clashes with that. Just having an option to turn it off would be nice to have.
Something else is the gorgeous art styles! I'm really in love with them, but there is a bit of a clash with the different styles. For example, in CGs where the BGs feature simple coloring/shading and black lineart, the character feels like from a different game entirely with their complex shading and being lineless (the chibi player character vs the LIs also somewhat fits into this overall note). The game itself already has a really strong art direction, and I think taking these notes into consideration would take it to another level.
Overall, I'm pumped for the full release and can't wait to see what happens next!
wow! even though it's just a demo, it's extremely good. i loved everything about it, from the customization to the diverse and lovable cast of characters. the art is also sooo pretty, artists did incredible! can't wait for the whole game to release, lowkey wanna play everyone's route since every character is so enjoyable haha
The background music doesn't betray the mood and doesn't get old, the art is really beautiful (digging the ability to move the CG FOV around). MC customisation has been handled well so far (making me question why it's so hard for larger teams to implement as much as a bare bones pronoun system) and it's such a breath of fresh air to see a diverse cast (and an MC with brains intact). Oh yeah, and the story's got a great set-up- it's not outlandish, not overwhelming, but intriguing. It set up questions that I know I want answers to.
It did surprise me and made me chuckle that Kevin actually called Vince pre 💀 due to their Filipino background (at least it wasn't lodi 😂)
The demo was quite refreshing and fun for an introduction! The town seems really cozy, the guys were great, and Vince was absolutely adorable that I jumped at the chance to call him RIGHT AWAY. And Dante???? With that attitude, he might as well have a route lmao.
streamed this game on discord and had a whole debate with my friend on what eyecolor andrew had. i argued it was black, and he said it was purple, only to find out that we were both wrong, and it was actually blue.
10/10, willplayagain to messaroundwiththecharactercustomization
i created an account just to comment and say how cute the game is, the story is adorable and im in love with all the boys, but im sad because it ended so quickly :(( i already want moreee!!
This was a wonderful little demo to play, and I LOVED the choices I could make, and the self-insert customization! I wish it had full voice acting, and I didn't really feel like Kai's voice fit him, but it was VERY charming and fun to play through. I already have two, maybe three, love interests I want to go down routes for when the full game comes out! <3
I look forward to the full release whenever it arrives~
I loved this demo! Kai is definitely my favorite, he jumped out to me first, but Kevin and Vince are also really cute! Then again, they all are. I can't wait for the full game. :) One suggestion though is that the other pages in the character customization were really hard for me to find at first. That might just be a me thing, but I totally didn't notice them my first time and I skipped over them wondering why I couldn't find where to change things with my appearance like my hair.
Please make sure you're installing the PC build and running the .exe file! If not, Itch has a "download not starting?" button that you can click instead ^^
If it still doesn't work, you can try installing via Steam!
i LOVED it!!!!!! i can't wait for it to come out, i loved this start of story and the characters are so cool and intriguing i'm gonna love discovering their different stories and personalities through out the game^^ ngl my vince won my heart which was a great surprise tbh heheh
i just wanted to add something, idk if it's just me but it took me a while to notice that we could fold the page in the customizetion part, it just wasn't noticable enough to me but again maybe that's just a me problem and everyone else noticed it from the start :'')
This is the first ever Visual Novel i've played that is still in demo version and left me frustrated yet happy at the same time.
I LOVE LOVE LOOVEEE the characters, the idea of making your own character, and BASICALLY ALL OF THEM. I'll be waiting for this to finish, gripping my table right now. This is a well made game even though it's still in demo.
Thank you for feeding us the appetizers, make sure to take breaks and rest very well Lavendeer studio, lv u guys honestly.
Hey quick question. At the start of the game when you're making your character and establishing pronouns, how do you customize your hair? I can't find where to do it on character selection. Sorry for the inconvenience!
Because the wait will actually kill me and im not ready to die before I play this game. I'll give you the greatest sombrero you got it please just release the full game I'm going to cry.
(Nah but fr take your time I would rather play a good game later than a rushed game now) Yall are going to do great

Have you played our life now and forever demo yet? There is a big update the 20th, I'm sure. Its soo good
wow! even though it's just a demo, it's extremely good. i loved everything about it, from the customization to the diverse and lovable cast of characters. the art is also sooo pretty, artists did incredible! can't wait for the whole game to release, lowkey wanna play everyone's route since every character is so enjoyable haha
is it possible to change your hair and eye color??
Yup! Like the page flip thingy, you'd have to look on the corner of the Character Creation 'book' screen.
OHH thank you!
I'm really digging the demo.
The background music doesn't betray the mood and doesn't get old, the art is really beautiful (digging the ability to move the CG FOV around). MC customisation has been handled well so far (making me question why it's so hard for larger teams to implement as much as a bare bones pronoun system) and it's such a breath of fresh air to see a diverse cast (and an MC with brains intact).

Looking forward to seeing the project flourish.

Me pasó lo mismo con la apariencia, hasta que leí este comentario no supe que se podían modificar los otros aspectos, creí que era aleatorio
For some reason my account view button is broken. Gives errors.
