Our Life: Now & Forever

Our Life: Now & Forever ushers players into the picturesque mountain town of Golden Grove, where autumn’s crisp air and golden leaves set the stage for new beginnings. As the player and their mother settle into a quaint cul-de-sac, a seemingly innocuous paper airplane introduces the player to the crossroads of life that lay ahead. This narrative-driven game invites players to shape their character’s life from childhood through adulthood, crafting a story teeming with decisions that influence personal and social development.

Deep Customization and Personal Expression

Before diving into the bustling life of Golden Grove, players have the opportunity to craft their protagonist’s identity in intricate detail. From choosing pronouns and designing physical appearances to deciding on a familial resemblance with their mother, the game offers a near-unlimited array of customization options. This level of personalization extends into the gameplay, where every choice reflects the player’s style and influences how the town’s residents view and interact with the protagonist over the years.

Relationships at the Heart of the Experience

At the core of Our Life: Now & Forever is the player’s ability to forge meaningful relationships with a cast of characters that include two remarkable neighbors: Qiu “Autumn” Lin and Tamarack Baumann. Each character has their own life story, which evolves throughout the game based on their interactions with the player. Qiu, a genderfluid local, and Tamarack, a recent arrival with a love for nature, offer distinct relationship dynamics that can grow through shared experiences and pivotal life decisions. Players can choose to develop these relationships in various ways—romantically, platonically, or somewhere in between—reflecting the true complexity of human connections.
