At first I was like “I’m never gonna leave Cove for the other guys.” Then after seeing them “Aw crap.. I’m not loyal 😭😭😭😭😭”

[@GBPatch]

Haha, understandable. But you can always keep Cove as your best buddy, even when you're romancing someone else.

[@gillianroldan5561]

i can't explain how i love this game. the gush of youth love, warm summer days, and warm honest nights; the story never fails to engage you in a summer love that i think all of us are yearning to have. the gameplay was delightfully simple, the story and plot are well-written, and most importantly, they wrote the characters really well. i have never felt more connected to these fictional people, they are really charming and felt real. :,) i honestly enjoyed this so much and i don't want it to end. this is not just some free game i happened to stumble upon, but it's sort of a precious story that i was lucky enough to know. i'm really looking forward for more of Our Life. it was really beautiful.. looking forward to purchase the DLCs

[@cxttage]

Can’t wait for chapter four and maybe the possible chapter 5! I’m anticipating what’s going to happen, although I hope it’s marriage and kids! I played this non stop today and I’m extremely happy with how my life has turned out so far!

There won't be a 5. Cove's story ends in the wedding DLC. Dereck and Baxter's routes are the only ones left until this game is over.

[@chelseastevens9553]

Love this story! The characters are all so beautifully designed and I love the relationships between everyone. The MC's family is so sweet and Cove becomes so adorable as he gets older. I have to get the dlc! I really want to try to get to know Derek and Baxter, but I admit Cove will probably be hard to resist...

[@GBPatch]

Thank you so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed the game and Cove, haha.

[@gracesmelodys]

I wish this was more popular, I'm so happy to have come across this amazingly well-made and feel good game looking through free visual novels. All of the events with Cove made me so happy, and the amount of personalization makes me, and imagine others, feel very special. Keep up the amazing work, and I hope more people discover this treasure in the future.

[@mintmage8472]

I finished the game today and I will definitely buy the DLCs, I can't wait for step 4.

This game is genuinely magical. I have never enjoyed a visual novel so much in my life. I binged through it so fast and hard I barely slept. Thank you for it! Can’t wait for step 4!!

[@BruceCoShark1127]

There will never be another love story game like this anymore. I'm so glad I accident discovered my first and only favorite Visual Novel game in 2021. I dated a girl back in 2014 and she act like Cove who is bittersweet, then we broke up and become friends because our relationship didn't work. I hate that we have to accept it and move on, but still brings back happy memories. 🥰

[@yume-9289]

FACTS. I wish there was another game like this one. The experience was so unique, it felt so real.

[@BruceCoShark1127]

I can't wait for November 16th but I also don't want it to come cuz that would mean that it would be over and I don't want it to be over 😭💞

[@GBPatch]

Aw, I'm glad you're looking forward to it that much. And we'll be releasing a free update to it later on, so even on November 16th that won't be the last you'll ever see of these characters.

[@luckymuddypaw]

Step three always has me crying. My god the way they highlighted the transition into being independent makes me cry so hard. You can be as excited as you want or as sentimental as you want. For me its the latter. Any time characters said something that made me tear up, there was the option to cry T-T So realistic and when you finally finish and make it back to the menu and hear the music, I couldn't stop bawling bc it felt like I just lived an entire life worth of memories over a few days of binging this. It isn't even sad, its just is so good at bringing you the player/reader into the world that you can't help but really feel every emotion.

[@Miyakuli]

I love otome games, but this game has been a very new experience for me. It's the first time I felt that I really built my own story, by totally deciding the personality and the development of my MC. Adding with it the chill and cute side of the game, I really spent a lovely moment and I will return to it again with pleasure to try new things (*stare at the dlcs*) Thank you for this very unique game :)

Haha, thank you! Glad you like his future hairstyle option.

[@Chaotickitty82]

I'll never be able to playthrough with anyone but Cove, no matter how hot you make them, lol. He is so much like me. The first playthrough was seamless for him and me. It was crazy that he always chose exactly what I chose for likes and dislikes. I demand more content for stage 4, (and beyond) however. I wanted us to buy the rental house and move in next door to our parents, have kids of our own, open up a business creating ocean-safe alternatives to plastics, while continuing to volunteer with ORCA.

[@Nana.Althea]

I finished the game yesterday and bought the DLCs, I can’t wait to play again. This game is amazing, i hurt my jaw from smiling too much while playing it lol, this game is the best thing that happened to my 2021 so far.

[@shea9523]

words cannot express how much i enjoyed playing this game. i've played it for over 30 hours and it's easily become my favorite game. i absolutely cannot wait for step 4 and extra content to be released. for anyone reading this that are considering buying it (which, keep in mind, it's free.): DO IT. you will not regret it at all. this game is truly a gem.

I remember playing the demo for the first time on day one. I get such a sense of nostalgia hearing that tune.

Much love to you GB Patch. :)

I am starting to fangirl at Cove and now I am amazed at the progress you made at the game.

Oh my gosh you don’t know how happy I am to have randomly come across this game on steam. It is the most adorable game I have ever played. The art style is amazing. The characters are all so lovable. The choices are endless. And it’s free to play on top of all that. I really hope that this game gets the attention it deserves! ❤️

I already finished the game a few days ago and I keep playing over and over again to try to get all the achievements and just because I can't keep this game out of my head. This visual novel is just so interactive and the characters are so wholesome. I can't wait for future updates!

[@KRRos3]

Okay so I'm crying, just played the game without a break for like 10 hours... It feels like I've just lost somebody I'm close to. See now I'm eager for it to come our I just want the rest of it

[@luckymuddypaw]

i just replayed it and omg i am crying as much as I did the first time 3 years ago. It isn't even sad but yes finishing absolutely feels like losing someone special. How the keep talking about memories and moving on in step 3 doesn't help at all either.

[@vellionmiw7902]

After a year of waiting and playing the demo I've got to experience it again with more steps and choices. making the baby bashful is so sweet!! I love the other characters too!! especially Baxter... Dereck... Cove... can't choose now!!!! anyway I'll for sure buy the dlc's when i got the chance to. Again thank you for making this year so great for me!!!!!!!!!!

This game is so god damn good it hurts lmao. I played through it within like 2 days and then bought the DLC and replayed it all in one day. For yourself a favor and check it out.

I wish I could go back and reexperience the absolute joy I had playing through my first time

[@gmgm1602]

I never thought that someone can make an amazingly grim and mysterious sotry like Lake of Voices and still go on to make something so wholesome wonderful. And you still manage to be absolutely hilarious in other scenes too! Seriously I've been reading this for the past few days and still want to find and try out all kind of different scenes because I love the characters and writhing so much! :) I'm looking forward to all the stuff you have planned in the future :) Also totally unrelated, but the bonus content of Lake of Voides is absolutely amazing and I would do anything in my power to have these scenes voiced by the original voice actors (sorry not sorry xD)
