About Our Life: Now & Forever

Our Life: Now & Forever is a Ren'Py dating sim from GBPatch, the second entry in the Our Life series. You play a customizable child growing into adulthood after moving with your mother to a quiet mountain town in autumn. A paper airplane starts your story, and your choices shape childhood, teen years, young adulthood, and later life. You can set name, look, pronouns, personality, and some mother traits, then adjust them as you age. Two neighbors, Tamarack and Qiu, become possible romantic partners, and the relationship pace can vary. Multiple endings and replayable character options support a gentle, sentimental romance.

The current v1.5.13 Beta, released September 27, 2026, shows ongoing development. It runs on Windows, Linux, Mac, and Android in English, with no censorship. This update adds two parts each for Rhyming Riddles and Secrets, two new CGs, missing backgrounds, and typo fixes.
